ALGIABARII

Volume 1 · 62 words · 1778 Edition

a Mahometan sect of predestina- rians, who attribute all the actions of men, good or evil, to the agency or influence of God. The Algi- barri stand opposed to the Alkadarii*. They hold absolute degrees and physical premotion. For the ju- stice of God in punishing the evil he has caused, they resolve it wholly into his absolute dominion over the creatures.
