The Shirazi movement, also known as the Shiraziyyin or the Karbala group (Jama'at Karbala), is a movement that identifies itself with the Usuli school of Twelver Shi'a Islam. It is predicated on the teachings of Mohammad al-Shirazi (d. 2001).

Tenets
The Shirazis are characterised as the following:
 * Being critical of more traditional Twelver Shi'a religious institutions and its clerical establishment, especially in Najaf.
 * Embracing controversial practices like Tatbir (self-flagellation).
 * Voicing views that encourage conflict with Sunnis, such as attacking the Sahabah revered by them.
 * Rejecting Wilayat al-Faqih, that is the fundament of the Iranian Revolution. However they accept a similar concept known as Hukumat al-Fuqahah (Governance of the Clerics), where a council of clergy should govern an Islamic state rather than a single cleric.
