'''Salafism''' is a modern Islamic movement which seeks to reform Sunni Islam through a return to scripture (the [[Quran]] and [[hadith]]) and the ways of the [[Salaf al-Salih (Pious Predecessors)|''salaf al-salih'' (lit. "pious predecessors")]], or the first three generations of Muslims (Muhammad and [[Sahabah|his sahaba or "companions"]], the [[Tabi'un|tabi'un or "successors"]], and the tabu' al-tabi'een or "successors of the successors"). The movement seeks particularly to replace what it perceives to be the excessive interpretive apparatus of the traditional [[Madhhab|madhhabs (schools)]] of [[Shari'ah (Islamic Law)|Islamic law]] with direct references to scripture.<ref name=":0">{{Citation|title=Encyclopaedia of Islam|publisher=E.J.
