| Abstract | ||
| The Bektashi Order: is a Sufi order of a Shi’i truth and origin, but it developed in Sunni countries like Turkey and Egypt, as well as in Iraq and other parts of the world. It is related to Khinkar Haji Mohammad Bektashi Khorasani Nishapuri, who born in 1284, and related himself to Imam Musa Al-Kadhim. He first travelled to Najaf in Iraq then he took a pilgrimage to Mecca, then he travelled afterwards to Turkey in the era of the Ottoman Sultan Orhan who died in 1362. He founded the first taqiyya of the order, then it started to spread between the Janissaries, and it grew some sympathies with some sultans while some others refused it, such as Sultan Mohammad II who died in 1839 who abolished it after he dismantled the Janissaries, but it was later revived by Sultan Abd Al-Majeed I who died in 1861. In year 1925 a decree was issued of the abolishment of all of the Sufi ways including Bektashism, even though, it continued to spread in Iraq and Egypt, it has its own rituals and acts of sacred worship and it still exists in the places from where it emerged. | ||
