Ahl E Haqq Paranormal Belief

Ahl E Haqq paranormal belief is that there are two distinct but interrelated realities, the internal (batini) and the external (zahiri) with each having their own separate order and regulations. People are only conscious of the external but their lives are controlled to the rules and regulations of the inner reality.

Within this belief system man has no interaction or contact with spirits of the paranormal. There is however a belief in seven angels and that on occasion an angel may reincarnate to earth as a person.

It is believed that man can go through 1001 reincarnations before achieving completion and death is not to be feared as it offers an opportunity to return as an improved human being.

The Ahl-e-Haqq religion is also known as the Yarsan religion and literally means “People of Truth”. It originated in western Iran in the late 14th century and was founded by Sultan Sahak.

Membership is estimated at between 1 and 2 million and is primarily found found in western Iran and Iraq. It is comprised of Kurds and Laks and smaller groups of Luir, Azeri, Persian and Arabs. The Ahl-e Haqq in Iraq are called Kaka’i.

Up to the 20th century adherents were Kurds who were born into it with some individuals marrying into it.

There is a written testament, but it is written in a language that few understand. The chief written word of the religion is the Firqan al-Akhbar written in the early 20th century by Hajj Nematollah.

Believers do not practice or observe Muslim rites and rituals. Unique features of the religion include a belief in millenarism, nativism, egalitarianism. Metempsychosis, angelology, divine manifestation and dualism.
