Hurufism

The Hurufismus (Arabic حروفية / ḥurūfiyya ) is one of Fazlallāh Astarābādī ( 1339-1401 ), also called Fadl Allah Ḥurūfī, founded in the later 14th century Shiite- dominated mystical- gnostic variant of Sufism.

His followers considered Fazlallah as a " manifestation of God in a human body and expected did he would return in a second coming after his execution and create a just society before the world what destroyed in a final apocalypse " (Eng. manifestation of God in a human body and expect him to a just society creates at his return after his execution, before the world is destroyed in a final apocalypse ).

The Azerbaijani poet and philosopher Imadaddin Nasimi (died 1417/18 ) turned to her and spread Fazlallah Astarabadis teaching successfully.

In its teaching should " allow the interpretation of the alphabet and the study of the numerical value of the letters of sacred texts of religious knowledge and salvation ."

Fazlallah Astarabadi tried to convert the Mongol ruler Timur ( Tamerlane ), but was arrested and at whose command of Miran Shah in 1394, a son of Timur, was executed in Nakhchivan ( Naxçıvan ). His followers revolted in Azerbaijan, but the rebellion was crushed.

In the 15th century the doctrine of Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria and other countries of the Muslim East was widespread.

In the Ottoman Empire the doctrine was one of his students, Ali al - Ada ( Alī al -A ʿ lā ), introduced and adopted by the Bektashi dervish order of. This has preserved (the Balkans, Albania) the legacy of teachings Fazlallahs longest and until today.

The Kurdish Ahl -e Haqq were influenced by the teachings.

Fazlallah Astarabadis book " Dschawidanname " ( book about eternity ), also known as " Dschawidane Kabir " (Grand eternity ) is known, regarded the followers of the teachings as scripture.

More recently, Hamid Algar, Fatih Usluer, Shahzad Bashir and Orkhan Mir- Kasimov have rendered outstanding services to the exploration of Hurufismus.
