Ahl al-Haqq: Difference between revisions

The sect is known as “A'in-i Haqq” (ritual of right), “A'in-i Haqiqat” (ritual of truth), or “Din-i Haqiqat” (religion of truth). Thus, its followers came to be known as “Ahl al-Haqq” (followers or people of the right/truth). A follower of this path is also called “Yar”, and thus, Ahl al-Haqq are also called “Yaristan” or, as shortened, “Yarsan”.

In some cases, the ritual is also referred to as “A'in-i Kurdan” (ritual of the Kurds), because since the period of Sultan Ishaq, the Kurds have played the main role in the development of this sect and their most important religious book is in Kurdish (Gorani dialect). Many works under “Kalam” were later written in Turkish and some of their important works are written in Laki.
