Pour les articles homophones, voir Halévi et Halévy. L'alévisme (alevilik en turc, Itiqate Ma en zazaki, elewîtî[1] en kurmandji, al ‘alawīyyah en arabe) regroupe des membres de l'islam dits hétérodoxes et revendique en son sein la tradition universelle et originelle de l'islam et plus largement de toutes les religions monothéistes[2]. L'alévisme se rattache au chiisme duodécimain à travers le cinquième imam (Dja'far al-sadiq) et à Haci Bektaş Veli, fondateur de l'ordre des bektachi dont la généalogie mythique remonte aussi au cinquième imam[3].
Il se classe dans les traditions soufies et ses croyances sont assimilables au panenthéisme. Haci Bektaş Veli, mystique philosophe de l'alévisme, est le fondateur éponyme de la confrérie des Bektachis qui joua un rôle primordial dans l'islamisation de l’Anatolie et des Balkans.

Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi. Nazim al-Qubrusi. Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Khwaja Ghulam Farid. Ibn 'Ata Allah. Hadhra. Haḍra (Arabic: حضرة) is a collective supererogatory ritual performed by Sufi orders. It is often held on Thursday evenings after the night prayer, on Fridays after Jum`a prayer or on Sunday evenings, and can also celebrated on special Islamic festivals and at rites of passage. Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki. Kashf. Kashf (Arabic: كشف) "unveiling" is a Sufi concept rooted in Gnostic ideals dealing with knowledge of the heart rather than of the intellect. Kashf describes the state of experiencing a personal divine revelation after ascending through spiritual struggles, and uncovering the heart (a spiritual faculty) in order to allow divine truths to pour into it.
Kashf is etymologically related to mukashafa “disclosure”/ “divine irradiation of the essence”,[1] which connotes “gain[ing] familiarity with things unseen behind the veils”.[2] For those who have purified their hearts, and who come to know the Divine Names and Attributes to the fullest of their individual capacities, the veils in front of the purely spiritual realms are opened slightly, and they begin to gain familiarity with the unseen. In Sufism, an even further revelatory capacity exists by which the Divine mysteries become readily apparent to the seeker through the light of knowledge of God. This is called tajalli "manifestation".[3] Timothy Winter.
