It is known that the celibacy system was invented by the lbadis in the Maghreb after the fall of the Rustamiya state at the hands of the Fatimid preacher Abu Abdullah Al-Shi'I in the 296 Ah. In the following year, the Ismaili imam Ubayd Allah A-mahdi Became the first caliph of the Fatimid statein the city of Raqada. Following the fall of the Rustamiya state and the persecution of its lbadu=is, most of them migrated to the Nadusa Mountains, the island of Djerba, and the oasis of Argelan in the hollow of the Sahara. In the Nafusa Mountains; lbadites tride to revive the Rustamiya imamate; But their efforts failed as a result of the threats of the Fatimid Caliph Mahdi.On the island of Djerba – and its lbadis were based on the doctrine of Al-Nafathiyah – they succeeded in establishing the system of celibacy as an alternative to the system of the imamate; Likewise, the ibadis of Oasis and Argelan – most of whom were on the Wahhabi sect – established the single system, which was more organized and more influential than the singles of Jebel Nafusa and the island of Djerba
