How an Albanian man traces his Bektashi roots | Al Jazeera World Documentary

- Bektashism is a Sufi mystic Islamic order that was founded in present-day Turkey in the 13th century.
Bektashi fortunes rose and fell in parallel with the Ottoman Empire and Bektashis were exiled to the Balkans, Albania and Egypt.
History repeated itself in the 1920s when the new Turkish republic outlawed all Sufi orders, including Bektashi Sufism. Then, in 1967, Albania's leader Enver Hoxha banned all religions, including Bektashism. Yet, somehow, the order has survived and now claims some seven million followers worldwide.
On a personal journey exploring his Bektashi roots, an Albanian man discovers that his faith has a shocking history which includes purges, expulsions, sacked monasteries and child slavery.

Good for you congradulations, do you want an award?
Why do people get heated and nasty about other people's belief? As long as they do you know harm, let them be.
they do harm to Islam and societies morals/beliefs!
It's just general culture. Furthermore, there is always the morbidity that in Europe there are countries with a Muslim majority such as Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo, or the republic of Tatarstan within European Russia. It is something that breaks the stereotype of "Christian Europe" and that causes a lot of curiosity in people.
The same thing happens in the Middle East with Lebanon but in reverse. Many people are surprised that in an Arab country half of the population is Christian, and that generates tremendous morbid curiosity among Western people.
Also, this is the Al Jazeera channel, which belongs to the United Arab Emirates, a hardcore Islamic country, and that is why they always focus on the issue of Islam around the world.
Doesn't work that way with 3rd world people.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sulejmani a few years ago in Tirana. Even though I am not Muslim, I was welcomed by him and his colleagues at the Bektashi World Headquarters. I wish him and all Bektashis peace.

I'm Albanian and we represent ourselves like the majority of albania as muslim. But let's be honest the most of Albanian people don't have any idea what is meaning to be muslim. You will be lucky if you see any women wearing hijab in Albania, the men's as well enjoying drinking alcohol everyday and the majority of people never have been in mosque etc. Is that Islam faith??
No, eshte islam kulturor qe e kan shumica e shqiptareve. Shume rall eshte dikush tamam fetar katolik apo musliman.
There are 400,000 Bektashi’s in Albania. and i’m one of them
It is imortant to emphasize here that when we say "Albanian" in the context of ethnic Albaniam identity and culture, we do not mean just Albanians as in citizens of the modern country of Albania, but all ethnic Albanians altogether. In that sense, one should not ascribe Albanianess (rather than Islam or Christianity or any other culture) as a primary identity only to Albanians of Albania, but to all ethnic Albanians anywhere (including Albanians of Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro).
fake
@@keno2285
Now you tell me which of these two options is more fake.
A. (Albanian)-One's own language (which is not identical to at least 3 or 4 other peoples' language subject to constant political and identity disputes). One's own specifuc and recognizable traditional clothing (white traditional suite with skull cap -Plis or Pilos), which os notnshared by 3-4 other 'people's'. One's own codes (Besa-Code of Honor, Code of Leke Dukagjini). One's own history (we do not have worry too much about what happened in Arabia, Russia or Vatican -although we do have prominent scholars in all three Abrahamic religions)....etc etc etc,
or option
B. (Central aouth slavs - (Bosniaks/Croats/Montenegrins/Serb), who speaknfour dialects of one and the same languahe formerly known as serbo-croatian, where the only difference between these peoplea is religion. You take out the abrahamic religion fro them (Christianity and Islam) and you literaly can't tell them apart.
They took abrahamic religions as their foundation of identity...and they hold so toght to these three Abrhamic religions as if they invented them....
Sp, which one does your logic tell younis more fake -Apbanian or Ce tral South Slavic (Bosniak/Croat/Montenefrin/Serb)?
Yet, in slite of all that No Albanian will ever call any nation 'fake', for two reasons:
1. Albanian does not bekieve any nation os fake (bcs Albanian bekievs everyone is e titled to their Rights and Dignity),
2. Even if they would think that some nations are not as original, they would never call it fame bcs it is uncivilized to do so...
Again, learn something about Albanians (especially about their Codes) before you judge. I know you might have made ypur judgement based on bakers from Kosovo, but remeber that there so so many more Albanians in ypir place Bosnia (notable families like Binak, Busatlija, Dzeko, Fazlija, Gegaj/Gegic, Golos, Gurovic, Hot/a, Ibrulj, Karkin, Kodro, Kuc, Kustro, Kolos, Malevic/Malovic, Musa, Pala/Palevic, Pljakic, Rokic, Skrijelj, Spirtovic, Taci, Toskic, Uk, etc etc etc) but you can't identify them as Apbanians bcs your mind is stuck in antiqated stereotypes crested by shallow minda and exopansionist serb propaganda from the last century.
Tonlearn more about Bosnians of Albanian origin read the book by Enver Imamovic called "Porijeklo stanovnistva BiH"....Learn more brother..."Read" as it says in the holly books

No you're not fake, Kenjo. Don't be so harsh to yourself (unless you are a broken record...although it is tempting to think you are one, you got to admit 😄)
@@keno2285
Btw Kenjo, do you know the origin of lilies, Islam and south slavic language?
What makes you think that Albanian identity is more fake than the identity that use symbols it did not invent...religion that it did not invent (which is the only difference between you and Serbs, Croats , Montenegrins.) but received it from the occupiers....language it did notninvent and the one claimed by at least two other peoples (and closely related to Russian...not to Turkish or Arabic...despite the wishfull thinking)...
...or am I am really talking to a broken record here 😅?
It does not surprise me why Albania, despite having Muslim majority, is strongly secular. But this made them odd among others.
Albania also has a lot of Catholics and Orthodox as well as irreligious people (e.g. atheists/agnostics).
It is because of their communist history. They were the first official atheist state.
@@dinohermann1887 We were one of the most paleo-christian people in Europe, before Christianity was even legal and we even have christian martyrs of that time as well.
Albania is strongly secular because the communist dictator Enver Hoxha banned religion there. It killed the religious spirit of that country. He closed all the mosques and churches
Add to that the fact that the Christian and atheist population of Albania denies Islam in their country since, according to them, it makes them look like Turks or Arabs and distances them from the "Christian boys' club of Europe", so some young Albanians from Muslim families abandon that religion due to social pressure to be accepted by the rest of Europe
I know Albania. It is a very conflictive country, but not because of religion, but because of the issue of mafias, drugs, poverty that pushes young people to follow bad paths.
However, they are the friendliest people in Eastern Europe.
While Russians, Poles, Hungarians, etc. are always serious and have a bad face, Albanians are very friendly and warm, as well as humble.
@@stevenv6463 Afghanistan was also communist. But all the communists could not defeat Islam there. I think Afghanistan should be the most staunchly religious country in the Islamic world. Although Afghans are not Arabs, for me they are more religious than Arabs, even Saudis.
In the ex-Soviet Islamic republics of Central Asia the same thing happened as in Albania with the prohibition of Islam. And those countries are not very religious. However, compared to Albania, Central Asia is much more religious (for example, wearing the veil is common in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which is not the case in Albania).
Thank you for this great video.
First we are Albanians
Religion is something individual
God save the heroic people of Albania
As a Albanian we identify as Muslim and not retarded counterproductiv nationalists
This was a very well put together documentary. It was nice to see so many different people from different countries interviewed.

I am an Albanian Atheist & I, apologize to all Albanian believers of any religious faith for the Albanian government banning off of their religion during the time when Albania was a communist state. Although I don't understand the need of believing in God or higher being I am open to inclusivity and sticking together with my fellow Albanians where ever they are around the world & whatever religion they practice.
We must bow down to our creator only & not to dead graves.
Monotheism was & is message of every prophet from Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus(Eisa) & Mohammad(peace be upon them all). Worship One creator & not the creation.
They don't bow to graves!
They don’t pray to the grave mate did you see any of them go in sujood? They’re making du’a
I grew across from a Bektashi Sufi Monastery! ❤️
Where?
Interesting documentary well done, Laa Ilaaha Ilaa Allah Muhammadn Rasul Allah
Sounds like Bektashism followed Islam's true beliefs in accepting and respecting all peoples unlike main stream Islamic sects today.
they only say that because they are a minority!
U mean to whom exactly in mainstream as u said so ?
Bektashism is a deviant sect. The only true way is the Qur’an and the Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Salaf as Salih (the pious predecessors which the Prophet ﷺ spoke about in an authentic and famous hadith), as they were upon the best (purest) understanding and implementation of Islam.
@@muslimalbanian Salafis are sell outs to colonial powers look how Salafi scholars of Saudi Arabia have ruined it & ruined the Middle East , Bektashis led the armies of the Islamic caliphate & protected the Ummah , without Bektashis we all would have been conquered & forced to convert to Christianity like what happened to the natives of the Americas & Norway .
😂😂😂
Anyone notice the shofar at 22:10?
Devşirme (30:07) : basically, the English definition of this term is 'the mustering' ( i.e., of troops ).
You have to live with a bektashi at least a few months to understand the bektashi faith. Bektashism is a path which could be said is the real faith of Muhamed Musatafa pbuh, Imam Ali pbuh and all ahlul Bayt.
These guys are going against the way of the Messenger of Allah and his companions.
The Messenger of Allah and his companions didn’t prostrate to graves, nor did they dance and sing inside the masjid.
They didn’t make Dua to the dead, they didn’t hold Zikr circles nodding their heads back and forth.
They did all acts of worship for Allah alone!
Follow the Messenger of Allah and his companions!
how is that possible if you are interested in Bektashi and live in a country that doesn't have Bekstashis? Does someone adopt you?
bektashism is kufr thye go against everything in the Quran the pray in graveyards and worship dead people
A Pureza da conexão com o Divino Amor apenas pode ser no Coração Sagrado...Muito além da doutrina e dos Profetas...Seja no Sufismo, e/ou Islâmico, seja, em qualquer outra escolha, esta deve ser, livre, e verdadeira em Sagrado Amor.Para os que não conhecem o Amor, os cabe respeito em civilidade...E ainda Que profundo, o conhecedor historico, e mesmo sacerdotes - em lideres religiosos por titulos, jamais, podem alcançar o entendimento que se faz através da vivência lúcida (vinda da conexão com a Luz), do Divino em Si ou Self, por elevar a frequência real, em Vibração, do Amor em Si.
O Amor não se conecta com a escuridão...✨🌠✨
bektashism is the same thing with alevism of turks and kurds. and very different from arab alawism.
Kürd Alevisi yoktur onlar asimile Türkler Yavuz Sultan Selim döneminde Türkler sevilmezdi
I would say its another variation of arab alawism & very different from Shiism . arab alawism like Bektashis believe in reincarnation & the near deification of Imam Ali as well as the other sufi elements .
there is a lot of other huge differencies. alawism extremely affected by christianity. they got their own trinity. they observe some christian holidays. alevis much more orthodox than alawis. @@muslimnde3612
As a Muslim, I am curious how they justify alcohol
Albania's religion are Albanian traditions not,th arab's religion.
Pimp culture and tradition
Why do you call Rum Sultanate as early Ottoman? You could call it early Turkiye. Osmanlı Beyliği were established at Söğüt many years later than the Mongol invasion of Anatolia.
The Turks of Turkey are basically the Greeks of Asia converted to Islam and who adapted to the Turkish language. That is why Greeks and Turks look so similar physically, they have the same roots, like Indians with Pakistanis.
Real Turks have slanted eyes and Asian features and live in countries like Turkmenistan or Kazakhstan. They are something like Muslim Mongols.
@@CamiloAdaimeJimenez why did you write this stupid comment exposing your ignorance here? it is not even related what op said
My heart goes out to that Arabic/Albanian brother as he ponders his origins, not being cocksure of who or what he is, but rather taking many things into consideration - historical realities that very possibly might address those nagging questions that those of us who come from this part of the world have ( as well as the intelligence to brood on all of this ) : "Who ( or 'what' ) am I?" 600 years of Ottoman rule - that's a long time; & with all the wars & various armies criss-crossing the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as certain policies enacted by Turkish sultans & other rulers, variously coming & going, who really knows their origins? Reducing that question to common denominators such as native soil, mother tongue, & 'the faith of one's fathers' doesn't always tell the whole story. To this brother, I say 'selamünaleyküm' & 'Hü, dost!'
He's Albanian, not Arabic. That's an Arabic voiceover.
the bad editing really throws off the whole product
Bektashis Do Not Believe in Reincarnation That Is Wrong also we Bektashis don’t have confession of sins

so what do women do as Bektashi? I've seen always Bekstasi men doing thie rituals but there are no women present. Are they excluded from active participation?
They visit tekkes too. They just don't become dervishes.
@@waymilky442 There are videos of Bektashi women dervishes in Turkey and Germany , most likely they are Alevi Bektashis since both Alevism & Bektashism are highly similar the only difference is the inclusion of women .
My last name is Bektaş so that’s very interesting.

All religious teach us humanity kindness and all good habit but look at us today thinking yourself superior than others o am white am black am orange just to hate others. people from different continent just because they are poor o with there colours
Indeed, if he's a straight up Albanian from Albania & not an Arab of Albanian descent from, say, Lebanon or Syria or Egypt, then why the Arabic voice-over? We neither saw nor heard him speak once throughout the whole presentation. What purpose does that serve?
Religions were political parties of the past. Their goal was to rule the world, to expand their territories and influence. When people abandoned religion to mix with political objectives of the state the humanity progressed beyond any limit.
Perfectly said!
Political ideologies are religions of the present. When people abandon religion you get capitalism, communism and fascism. You get genocide, war and destruction of the earth.
Did you eve watch this documentary?
Not saying you're right or wrong but judging by your comment, you must be Albanian!
when people left religion they became stupid and started to do toxicating stuff like drugs alcohol sexual intercourse out side of marriage
imam Ali (The friend of Prophet Mohammad(PBUH)) was given task to level the raised graves if any. So making graves big & then worshiping them is false as per islam.
not just false but shirk/idolatry!

Bektashis are a Shia sub-sect that are considered deviant in Islam. They initially started out as a Twelver Shia Sufi Order but deviated and became their own sect. May Allah guide them back to the Quran and Sunnah and keep us away from false sects. Ameen.
Is that all you care about? There should be space and room for different forms of Islam. Christians had similar concerns in the 16th & 17th centuries and they killed each other for at least 150 years.
Is that what you're advocating?
Mass slaughter is not the solution, unless you're a Salafist or a religious fascist.

I feel bektashi.
I respect bektashism, i even believed i might be of bektashi origin but i am not. Maybe it is time that foreign scholars actually study more about albanians before they jump to conclusions about jannisaries, myths, etc. The thing is that religion in Albania was not institutionalized until the start of 20th century. Some facts in the video are right, some are not. Therefore, i believe the confusion about different relgions present in Albania is due to lack of proper institutions.

Do not know about the Bektashis, but as far as I knao as an ethnic Albanian (with roots both with Albanian and other Albanian inhabited lands in the Balkans - Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro), mos Albanians have traditionally primarily satisfied their needs to belong and have an identity NOT by leaning on Abrhamic religions (like south slavs) but rather on their own cuulture, Albanian.
