Izala Society or Jama'atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (Society for the Removal of Bid'ah and Re-establishment of the Sunnah), also known as JIBWIS, is a Salafi organization originally established in Northern Nigeria to fight what it sees as the Bid'ah and Shirk practiced by the Sufi orders.
JIBWIS was established in 1978 in Jos, Nigeria by Sheikh Isma'ila Idris (1937-2000)[3] in reaction to the Sufi orders,[4] specifically the Qadiriyya and Tijjaniyya who practice Sufism.
Today JIBWIS is one of the largest Salafi societies not only in Northern Nigeria, but also in the South and even in the neighbouring countries (Chad, Niger, and Cameroon).
[5] David Commins has described it as the fruit of missionary work by the Saudi Arabian funded and led by the World Muslim League.
[6][7] "Essential texts" for members of the JIBWIS are "Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab's treatise of God's unity and commentaries by his grandsons".
