Among the beliefs of the Najdat were:

Allowing the concealment of their true beliefs, if they were in territories where the Sunnis dominated.
Sinning Muslims were not excommunicated as unbelievers. The Najdat believed that they could be forgiven by Allah - only he who persisted in his sin and repeatedly committed it, could be accused of unbelief.
