This study is the Turkish translation of the article titled “The Sect of Ahl-i Haqq (Ali Ilahis)” written by Han Saeed in English and published in 1928. The mention of Hacı Bektaş Veli in the content of the article and the reference of his relations with the Ahl-i Haqqs make the article important for us. Ahl-i Haqqs are also known as Yaresan Alevis and Ali Ilahis. According to their belief Huda had appeared seven times in human form. In the first, Huda appeared in the form of Havendigar, the creator of the worlds, then appeared as Ali Murtaza, Şah Hoşin, Sultan Sahak, Şah Veys Kulu, Muhammed Bey and Ateş Bey. Ahl-i Haqq sect has a belief that people will come back to the world after death, called “dona don”. According to them Hacı Bektaş Veli is incarnation of Sultan Sahak in Anatolia and the appearence of God. During the reign of Sultan Sahak, the community was divided into seven families called “Hanedan” and their administration was left to the seven Pirs from these families. After Sultan Sahak, the number of “Hanedan” increased to twelve. Each follower of Ahl-i Haqq must belong to one of these twelve families.
Keywords: Ahl-i Haqq, Saeed Khan, The Muslim World.
