iaretleriyle

Iaretiyye, also known as iaretleriyle, is a Sufi order founded in the 13th century by Haji Bektash Veli in the village of Hacıbektaş in what is now Turkey. The order is named after its founder, who is considered a saint in Sufism. The iaretleriyle are known for their whirling dervish ceremonies, which are a form of spiritual dance and meditation. These ceremonies are often accompanied by music and poetry, and participants aim to reach a state of ecstasy and union with the divine.

The order is organized into lodges, or tekke, each led by a sheikh. The iaretleriyle follow a path of love and devotion, emphasizing the importance of humility, poverty, and service to others. They believe in the unity of all religions and the importance of tolerance and understanding.

The iaretleriyle are also known for their hospitality and welcome guests from all backgrounds. They are often invited to perform at cultural events and festivals around the world, sharing their unique spiritual practice and music with others.

The iaretleriyle have faced persecution and discrimination in some countries, particularly during the 20th century. However, they continue to practice their faith and spread their message of love and tolerance. Today, there are iaretleriyle communities and dervish lodges in many countries, including Turkey, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
