In some texts of Ahl al-Haqq, including in “Bargah Bargah”, there is explicit evidence of belief in [[Wahdat al-Wujud|Unity of Existence]], such as God being immanent or manifesting in the whole world—lands and seas. 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). | In some texts of Ahl al-Haqq, including in “Bargah Bargah”, there is explicit evidence of belief in [[Wahdat al-Wujud|Unity of Existence]], such as God being immanent or manifesting in the whole world—lands and seas.

Like other proponents of | Like other proponents of “[[Tanasukh]]” (reincarnation), Ahl al-Haqq do not take death to be the end of life or to involve the separation of the soul from its body and its migration to another world. They believe that the beginning of every life is to go towards death, and every death is the beginning of a new life, but consecutive lives and deaths are supposed to save the human being. This long path is part of God’s pledge to human beings. Every person, they maintain, should travel 1000 or 1001 “Duns” (each Dun is 50 years) in the world. | ||
For Ahl al-Haqq, reincarnation is based on an intellectual, ethical foundation. Although they did not explicitly say so, some of their remarks imply that they believe in something like Karma in Hinduism. | For Ahl al-Haqq, reincarnation is based on an intellectual, ethical foundation.
