'''Ahl al-Ḥaqq''' (Arabic: {{ia|أهل الحق}}) refers to followers of a religious-mystical Tariqa (path of spiritual learning) with its particular religious etiquettes and texts who consider themselves as [[Shi'as]], although some of their beliefs are inconsistent with [[Islam]].

They believe in a kind of [[Tanasukh|reincarnation]] and hold that God is incarnated in human beings.

Their holy place is [[Pardiwar]] which they believe to be equivalent to the [[Ka'ba]]. Their rulings and etiquettes include allegiance and setting up fire over a dead person’s grave on the first night after his or her death.
