Résumé
The ‘Alaw? religion, known for most of its history by the name Nu?ayriyya, emerged in Iraq over a millennium ago. An esoteric, syncretistic religion with a close affinity to Sh?‘? Islam, its origins are shrouded in obscurity. Over time, beliefs and rituals deriving from paganism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity were grafted to the radical Sh?‘? substrate, giving the religion its distinctive character.
Throughout their history the ‘Alawites were a persecuted religious minority, but in the 1970s they came to power in Syria and retained absolute rule until recently. There is also a significant population in Hatai Province in southern Turkey. Arising from the authors' long-standing interest in the ‘Alaw? religion, this anthology offers for the first time a selection from the distinctive literature of the mysterious religion.
The book opens with a detailed introduction setting the background for the themes it will cover : the mystery of the divinity in the ‘Alaw? faith ; rituals and ceremonies ; calendar and festivals ; the doctrine of reincarnation ; initiation into the divine mysteries and the esoteric circle ; and finally, the identity and self-definition of the religion's followers vis-à-vis Islam and other religions.
