The application of standards of textuality of Robert de Beugrande in analyzing Arabic
discourse is one of the trends of reading textually a certain text that is related to the
sender, the receiver and the expression of text. This would also include the spatio
temporal aspects that surround it. The Ibadhi sect is among the Islamic sects which
has not been given comprehensive treatment; therefore, this study will analyze two
issues among the issues related to the doctrine of belief of the Ibadhi sect: the
dissociation of Allah with any similarity with the creations and the issue of settling on
the throne. This will be done by applying the standards of intentionality and
acceptability proposed by de Beugrand on the proofs forwarded by the scholars of
Ibadhi as arguments of their belief. The study also intends to put forward to the others
the most important underpinnings that the Ibadhi scholars committed themselves to.
This would help to close the gap between the different sects especially that the study
of this nature has not been done by looking at the traditional sources to analyze the
issues related to the doctrine of belief of the Ibadhi sect but rather in the context of
intentionality and acceptability. The study concludes that the Ibadi receiver has begun
to form the norms of the Arabic discourse to understand the intentionality of the
religious text that has its influence on the acceptability of the texts and their belief
trend.
