| Alevism (; Turkish: Alevîlik or Turkish: Anadolu Alevîliği/Alevileri, also called Qizilbash, or Shī‘ah Imāmī-Tasawwufī Ṭarīqah, or Shīʿah-ī Bāṭen’īyyah) is a syncretic, heterodox, and local tradition, whose adherents follow the mystical (bāṭenī) teachings of Ali, the Twelve Imams, and a descendant—the 13th century Alevi saint Haji Bektash Veli. Alevis are found primarily in Turkey among ethnic Turks and Kurds, and make up between 10-25% of Turkey's population, the largest belief after Sunni Islam.After the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a dispute arose about his legitimate successor. The Islamic community was divided into those who adhered to Ebu Bekr, named Sunnis, and those who sided with Ali, called Shia. Concurrently, people who sided with Ali were called Alevis, defined as "those who adore to Ali and his family". Therefore, some authors uses Shiism synonymously with Alevism. However, Alevism is not Shiism, but affected by Shiism and although they share some common beliefs with the Twelver Shia, their rites and practises are wholly different from Shiism. The Almanya Alevi Birlilere Federasyonu (German Alevi community) published a short introduction of Alevism, as formed in Anatolia between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. Because Alevis maintained their relationship with Pre-Islamic culture, they differ from both traditional Sunnis and Iranian Shias; they do not accept Sharia as the word of God. Thus Alevism incorporates Turkish beliefs present during the 14th century such as Shamanism, Animism and Manichaeism and later integrated with Sunnism. Some Iranian Shia schoolars claim, that Alevism is actually Shia-Islam, however the genuine doctrine of Twelver-Shia never spread through Anatolia, with the result the Alevis were cut out from their own roots.In Turkey, Ja'faris, Alavids, Kaysanites, Qarmatians, Fatimid Ismailis, Nizaris, Qizilbashes (also known as Turk Alevileri), Nusayris (also known as Arab Alevileri) and Pamiris are called as Aleviler (Alevis). However Alawism and Alevism are two distinct sects. The topic Alevi investigated in this article refers to "Kızılbaş faith". * Some of the differences that mark Alevis from mainstream Muslims are the use of cemevi halls rather than mosques; worship ceremonies that feature music and dancing, and where both women and men participate; non-observance of the five daily salat prayers and prostrations (they only bow twice in the presence of their spiritual leader), Ramadan, and the Hajj (considering true pilgrimage to be an internal one). Alevis have some links with Twelver Shia Islam (such as importance of the Ahl al-Bayt, the day of Ashura, the Mourning of Muharram, commemorating Karbala), but do not follow taqlid towards a Marja' "source of emulation". Some practices of the Alevis are based on Sufi elements of the Bektashi tariqa. |
