	Ahl-e Haqq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are similarities between Ahl-e Haqq and the (Turkish-Kurdish) Alevi, though how far these similarities are evidence of a joint origin remains in dispute.
		The famous Iranian musician and mystic Nour Ali Elahi was a high-ranked member of Ahle Haq and published a book about beliefs and practices of this order which is one the few reliable sources on the subject.
		Ahle Haq oreder is a strictly closed circle.

	About us
		For the Ahl-e Haqq, the jam is a sacred gathering in which the divine presence manifests itself, thereby presenting an opportunity to draw closer to the Beloved.
		Founded in 1997 by a group of Kurdish Ahl-e Haqq (literally "Followers of the Truth") who have been living in Germany for the past several years, the members of the Razbar Ensemble are native of Hashtgerd, a town of predominantly Kurdish culture located on the outskirts of Tehran.
		The lyrics, often drawn from the sacred texts of the Ahl-e Haqq, are usually sung in praise of God and His different manifestations, as well as the great spiritual personalities of the Ahl-e Haqq tradition.

	Jambands.com Features Journey of the Jam- Kurdistan's Sacred Tanbur 2004-12-31
		Ali Akbar Moradi is of the Ahl-e Haqq group from Kurdistan, Iran and is commonly acknowledged as being the world's sacred tanbur virtuoso.
		Also, Kurdistan's minority faith groups, Alevi, Yezidi and Ahl-e Haqq, throughout history have been labeled devil worshippers and/or pagans; many were imprisoned (and worse) for playing their tanbur music as part of their spiritual mystic listening ceremonies.
		Specifically the tanbur has defined, and is being recorded by Ali Akbar Moradi, the 72 maqams that are the beautiful voice for the Kurdish Yarsan Ahl-e Haqq people nestled in the extremely remote mountain ranges of Iran before their voice becomes lost to the sands of time.

		Examples would include the Alevi / Bektashi of Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Albania; the Yezidis of Iraqi Kurdistan; the Ahl-e Haqq ("People of Truth") or Ali'ollahi ("'Ali-is-God"-ists) of Iran; the Druze of Lebanon and Israel; and the Ahmadiyya of Pakistan.
		Their minority status has encouraged the ghulat groups to support such things as secular government, religious freedom, and in several cases, equal rights for women.

	Razbar Ensemble bringing Kurdish dances, Persian music traditions to the Barclay Sunday 09/25/03
		“ The Razbar Ensemble is a group of the mystical Sufi order of the Ahl-e Haqq community in Bonn, Germany, that embodies a 600-year-old tradition,” Farokh Delshad explained through Mahtab Jafari, a pharmacologist and faculty member of the UC Irvine School of Medicine, who served as his interpreter for the interview Monday.
		The group is unique in that it is the only one in the Ahl-e Haqq community showing women alongside the men during devotional practices.
		And we wanted to make sure the information given to the public is accurate and factual, especially since not all the published material (about Ahl-e Haqq) is factual, even though done by scholars.

		The most complete and coherent presentation of Ela@h^'s understanding of Ahl-e H®aqq doctrine is to be found not in his Persian books, destined for circulation among Twelver Shi¿ites and written with at least sporadic concern for their sensitivities, but in his unpublished writings in Gu@ra@n^, intended to be read only by Ahl-e H®aqq initiates.

	Religious practices in the Turco
		The Alevis of Turkey and the Balkans and the Ahl-e Haqq of Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan are distinct but in many ways similar communities, constituting significant minorities (10 to 20% of the population) in their respective countries.
		Heterodox groups such as the Alevis of Turkey and the Ahl-e Haqq of Iran tend not to perform the canonical rituals of Islam but some of their non-canonical rituals are hardly distinguishable from those of their Sunni neighbours (while others are unique to them).
		The Ahl-e Haqq, including even its most heterodox branch, reached similar political accommodations with the regime and also continues largely as it was, with minimal lip service to the Islamic revolution.

	Razbar Ensemble: Sacred Music
		Founded in 1997 in Bonn, Germany, the Razbar Ensemble’s primary goal is to present the sacred music of the Ahl-e Haqq, whose extraordinarily rich repertoire is derived from its deep roots in ancient spiritual and artistic traditions.
		These two instruments are often accompanied by another stringed instrument called the Kamancheh (fiddle), whose subtle sounds imbue the music with a sense of nostalgia.
		From the outset of their artistic career, the Razbar Ensemble has drawn its motivation from the audience, who has been especially enthusiastic about discovering this previously unknown style of music.

		The Razbar Ensemble is a musical group of Kurdish Ahl-e Haqq (literally "Followers of the Truth") currently residing in Germany.

		Historically, spiritual gatherings of the Ahl-e Haqq were reserved only for men; women were not allowed to participate, let alone to sing and dance.
		Founded in 1997 by a group of Kurdish Ahl-Haqq currently residing in Germany, the members of the Razbar Ensemble are natives of Hashtgerd, a town of Kurdish culture located on the outskirts of Tehran.
		The Ensemble is truly revolutionary and unique in that it is the first Ahl-e Haqq group to feature both men and women performing together in a devotional context.

	Religious minorities in Iran
		Examples are the Ahl-e Haqq of Kurdistan, the Sheykhi centred around Kerman and Naqshbandi mostly in the Kurdish and Azeri regions of Iran.
		Sunni Muslims (about 9% of the population) and Sufi groups like Ahl-e Haqq, Sheikhi, Naqshbandi can also - depending on the definition of the term - be seen as religious minority, though some will deny this, arguing that these are valid expressions of the Iranian state religion Islam.
		The relief is located at Bisotun Mountain, above the inscription of Darius I. Legally Sunni Muslims are accepted as fellow Muslims, while Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians are recognised as People of the Book and have certain legal rights insofar as members of these religions are born and brought up within their religion.

	The Society and Its Environment
		Schismatic Islamic groups, such as the Ahl-e Haqq and the Yazdis, both of which are considered heretical by orthodox Shias, traditionally have had numerous adherents among the Kurds of the Bakhtaran region.
		The origins of the Ahl-e Haqq are believed to lie in one of the medieval politicized Sufi orders.
		Thus, lengthy words might be filled with "o's" and "u's" or with "a's" and "e's," but not with mixtures of the two.

	YAZIDIS - (CAIS at SOAS) ©
		Yazidi accounts of creation, which have much in common with those of the Ahl-e Haqq (q.v.) state that the world created by God was at first 'a pearl'.
		It remained in this very small and enclosed state for some time (often a magic number such as forty or forty thousand years) before being remade in its current state; during this period the Heptad were called into existence, God made a covenant with them and entrusted the world to them.

		It has been established that the religion of Ahl-e Haqq, or Yaresan, has a lot of common with Yezidism, at least in terms of myths and legends and in the realisation that both teachings developed on Kurdish soil [19:54].
		The research material on Mandaean, Ahl-e Haqq and other regional religions, while discolsing their links with Yezidism, also reveal to us how Islamic values were adopted to both Kurdish and non-Kurdish societies and what the role of personalities in this process, was.
		The opponents of Islamic 'traditionalists' (ahl as-sunna) were 'those involved in unlawful innovations' (ahl al-bid'a), or, in the Shaikh's view - Shi'ites, Qadarites, and Mu'tazilites.

		The issue of who is the rightful Imam has led to the growth of numerous sects within Shiism including: Twelvers (with), Ismailis (Seveners), Zaidis (Fivers), Alawites, Alevites, Druze, Ahl-e Haqq and others.
		Within Shiism there are various sects that differ over the number of Imams, or path of succession.

	disinformation the yezidi: the angelick cultus in the middle east
		[11] There are differences between the two, as well; For example, where the Yezidi (and Ahl-i Haqq) believe in reincarnation, there is no parallel belief in Zoroastrianism; nor is there a parallel to the soul-transmigration concept found in the Yardanist tradition.
		While the symbols and habits may compare on a certain level, it is more probable that the Parsi features in the Yezidi paradigm are artifacts from the movement and dissemination of a variant of Zoroastrian thought over distances and time.
		As more details emerge about their religious history, we may find that cross-pollination will occur back into the western Hermetic tradition and its own angelick cultus.

	Ethnic identity of the Alevi Kurds
		The Dersimis apparently recognized, like the Ahl-i Haqq, various degrees of divine incarnation or theophany, from the full manifestation of God in Ali and possibly in Hacı Bektaş, to a more modest but nonetheless significant divine presence in the seyyids.
		The American missionary Trowbridge reports that the Alevis of Antep, whom he knew well, considered the Ahl-i Haqq seyyids of Tutshami (near Kirind, west of Kermanshah) as their highest religious authorities.
		Sayyid Baraka (d.1863) and his grandson and successor Sayyid Rustam (still alive in 1920) had established themselves as the chief religious authorities of the Guran Ahl-i Haqq, and commanded great respect among other Ahl-i Haqq communities in Iran (see my "Satan's psalmists").
