Salafi refers to a movement within Sunni Islam that aims to return to the practices and teachings of the early generations of the Muslim community. The term "Salafi" comes from the Arabic word "salaf,” which means predecessors or ancestors. Salafis emphasize the importance of adhering to the Quran and the Hadiths (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad) as a means to understand and practice Islam. They focus on purifying their beliefs and practices from cultural or historical influences, seeking to follow the example of the Prophet and his companions closely.
