Malamatiyya
The Malāmatiyya (), or Malamatis, were an early Muslim organization and associated Islamic mystical movement active in 9th-century Greater Khorasan. The root word of their name is the Arabic word ''malāmah'' () "blame". The Malamatiyya believed in the value of self-blame, that piety should be a private matter and that being held in good esteem would lead to worldly attachment.

As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty.
