The Tābi‘īn ( "Followers") are the generation of
Muslims who were born after the death of
Muhammad but who were contemporary of the
Sahaba "Companions". As such they played an important part in the development of
Islamic thought and philosophy, and in the political development of the early Caliphate. In particular, they played a vital role in the split in the Islamic community between
Sunni and
Shia Muslims. To this day, interpretations of their behaviour and characters are highly controversial.
