Ahl al-Haqq believe in [[Twelver Shiism]] and their [[Twelve Imams]]. They believe in all past religions and in particular, Islam, but they believe that the core of all those religions is reflected in their religion. As Qushchi Ughli has claimed: “God has revealed 4 books, all 4 of which are with us”. He also said: “Furqan is the truth and not a lie”, but by “Furqan” they mean something other than what is standardly meant. | Ahl al-Haqq believe in [[Twelver Shiism]] and their [[Twelve Imams]].

They believe that the [[Qur'an]] originally consisted of 32 parts, 30 of which are concerned with [[Furu' al-Din|Ancillaries of the Religion]] and the other 2 parts are its core, containing unrevealed secrets kept by [[Muhammad (s)]]. But the [[Imams]] preserved the two additional parts one after another, and transmitted it to [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]] under “Furqan”, and the Imam (a) expressed “Furqan” in Kurdish. Thus, they believe that Islam is like a seed, and the religion of Haqq is like the core of its fruit and the [[Sharia]] is its peel, or Islam is like a shell and Haqq is the pearl inside it. | They believe that the [[Qur'an]] originally consisted of 32 parts, 30 of which are concerned with [[Furu' al-Din|Ancillaries of the Religion]] and the other 2 parts are its core, containing unrevealed secrets kept by [[Muhammad (s)]].

Ahl al-Haqq take their religion to be very old and eternal. They believe that the religion is connected to the essence of Haqq (God) as its leaders and Imams are connected to the essence of God. Ahl al-Haqq agree with other Ghali (exaggerating) Shi'as in the fundamental view that God manifests in the form of human beings, but Ahl al-Haqq have developed the view further since they do not restrict the divine manifestation to [['Ali (a)]] and extend it to some other persons as well. | Ahl al-Haqq take their religion to be very old and eternal.

The most remarkable divine manifestation is, for them, the human being. Thus, the notion of Avatar, which expresses the base of the relation between God and human being in Hinduism and many other mystical paths, figures in the school of Haqq as well. However, in this school, divine manifestation and incarnation is intended to enable people to see Him. Perhaps the most prominent and important divine manifestation for Ahl al-Haqq is Sultan Ishaq (also written as Saḥāk/Suḥāk, Ṣaḥāk/Ṣuḥāk, and Sahāk/Suhāk), since they receive their religious identity as well as their social bond and ethnic and religious unity from him (although they highly honor and respect 'Ali (a) as well). | ||
