- Another video in my series about religious minorities in the Middle East, this time about the secretive Alawites.

Thanks everyone for commenting and watching the video! Clearly, as I stated in the video itself, there are many conflicting accounts of the Alawites/Nusayris and a variety of expressions within the group itself. As we can tell from the comments here, the question is quite complex, so don't take the words of the video as gospel but understand that there are a variety of understandings, so I suggest talking to each other to better understand the nuances and differences within Alawite belief. I'm glad this comment-section is a source for discussion and debate, but remember to always keep a good tone and respect each other. These are sensitive subjects, and it's easy to get riled up, but try your best not to insult or spread hate.

Who are Turkish alavites?
Hi, do you have any knowledge about the moroccan alawit family (monarch family)...If they belong to that group or not? !Thank you in generellay for the content
@@scepticmuslim No, that is not the same. There are many different groups who go under the Arabic name "Alawi" and that's just another one of them. I think it's referring to their lineage going back to Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Let’s hope. Diversity doesn’t infect your country !
@@scepticmuslim The 3alawit in North Africa and middle east are descendants of adepts of sufi tariqa "created" by Master La3lawi - or 3allawi- . They were called La3lawi, and some of them kept that " surname" as their name.
Man this channel deserves much more love. Your Arabic pronunciations are pretty good, and not many people have taken the time to put all this information together on such small faiths.
Thanks :)

I like the fact that the narrator provides us with facts and information without pouring his personal opinion and favoratism and being biased. Also he kept reminding us that this information can be debated due to the secrecy of the sect. Thank you.
Yet people are going to still complain about how WRONG HE IS!!!!! LOL!
@@charlesandrews2360 Because he is probably a bit wrong who knows
I was a bit worried because politics comes up in this video, he stayed as unbiased as ever. Great stuff.
@@barahng This religion seems to be evil, given everything that surrounds it, especially its secrecy...
You are an amazing scholar, and with humility, you explore myriad topics, including religions. Blessings and love as different religious groups , sects, and faiths are estimated to be more than four thousand.

I was one of them. When I announced that I will no longer participate in this, my parents disowned me to a degree that they would kill me if they see me again. It’s been more than 15 years I did not see them.
Sorry you had to lose your family for your beliefs.
If you don't mind me asking did convert to another religion?
you are always welcome back home. stop this western non sense..........
@@nesrinebk2743 I just stopped believing that Allah is a human (Ali). You may say I converted to Islam.

@@MutiGozel Were you a Turkish Alevi or Syrian/Arab Alawite? Is it common for Alawite families to have such a strong reaction if their son leaves their religion?
i was born Alawite and i live in Syria , not a religious guy , but you were right about most things .
Big fan of your channel
You believe Ali is God?
Let me guess, latakia ?
@JEpronuke So you believe Ali should've been a prophet not muhammad but gabriel was mistaken
@JEpronuke Bro that's one of their favourite lies. We apparently believe an angel, without free will, made a mistake and gave the prophethood to a 40-year old man by accident when he should have given it to a 7-year old boy.
@JEpronuke can you pls tell me if ali is over Muhammad?
The best thing about this channel is, it's uniqueness. Another great analysis, well done.
Thank you!

I lived for 10 years in northern Lebanon and never really understood the group called Alawites. This video is a real insight. Thank you
He’s wrong mate, he couldn’t be more wrong. Their are many many different stories of alawites and nobody has the truth about them except a real alawite and a real alawite will never tell you anything which means he’s automatically a liar

Great, channel. All the information without any bias or judgement
Keep up the good work
I really appreciate all the in depth research you do to bring such rich cultures and interesting beliefs to we your public. I find all your videos fascinating. This religion is so unique because it has elements of the three major religions plus elements Hinduism and more. Aliwate seems all encompassing and may be the golden thread which runs through all Earthly religions. This video is really award winning work. I wish I had one to give you. I love "facts" without slant or spin. You deliver.
Thank you!
Toda rabah!
Shukran jazeeran!
Hello, dear human being! Could you tell me who God is?
Fascinating as always. These videos on esoteric offshoots of Islam are so illuminating, and the discussion of their internal divisions and diversity always leaves me thinking that there's more to learn rather than feeling content with what I know (which is the mark of good teaching ). Keep it up.
Always shi’ite Islam seems to have the most mystical offshoots. I’d love to learn more but my lack of knowledge of Arabic and Persian are limiting factors
Alawites are not an offshoot of Islam - they are the original Muslims! It's the rest of Islam that is an Abassid offshoot.
@@corvusglaive4804 Not really, those are heretical sects that have nothing to do with the authentic version.
@@phillipholland6795 yes really. All the latest research says that it's the reverse. "Authentic" mainstream Islam is a later Abbasid Persian invention
You know you are lying,alawite is not islam in any way@@corvusglaive4804
I am so glad that i discovered your channel, is is creative, informative, wonderfully crafted. I cant wait to view all the videos in your library. For the Alawites i have been interested in them for a long time, they are mostly in my opinion influenced by Gnostic beliefs, also we can see some traces of Christian rituals and beliefs mixed with Shia islam, it is interesting mixture and somehow they remind me on Druze community.
Very impressed by your knowledge, the best of all you interpret everything in a very neutral way
That's curious how little views this channel has despite some good quality videos with thorough explanations!
Tells you how much people want to educate themselves
Amazing so glad to find this video.
Very good indeed. And I also heard you on Duruz community. Keep up the good work.
I love this channel! I learn something new every time I click on a video.
Again, great video. Very informative and interesting.
For a non religious christian teacher of History such as myself, a very well constructed and informative presentation. Already watched the programme on Sufism which is similarily excellent..
Sufism isn't a sect of Islam, it's the spiritual side to it. One of the first big imams in Islam was Malik, he said that to succeed in the religion it's important to learn jurisprudence (fiqh) and to tasawwuf (spiritual side).
How can you be a non religious christian teacher?
@@BroMan-vm5gt
How is that difficult to understand? He's a history teacher, he's a Christian, but he's not religious. Do you not speak English?
Just found your channel and I already love it! I commend your bravery in taking on these topics the way you do, as I’m sure you know far better than I do how much of a target even talking about much of this stuff will make you. Bravo I say!
He’s not saying anything controversial. Try to understand these groups who may seem unfamiliar to you but live in the world around you.
@@SaadKhan-us6ih you'd be surprised at how upset people of any given religion get when you talk about other denominations of the same religion, also people are picky about how their religious beliefs are portrayed. I know to you or me none of this may seem controversial but I can guarantee there are people who get upset at something as simple as historical accuracy.
Sushmita: YOU are fascinating YOUR knowledge is impeccable 👌 Not a day passes without me listening to you Blessings always 🙏
Would love to see a video on the differences between Alawites, Alevi, and Sufism. I've also heard the term Mevlevi in Turkish, which I think is related. I've always conflated these terms (and might even be doing so now). Thanks!
Sufism are sunni sect . It has nothing to do with alevism or nusayrism who are shia
@@abeilledelalune7202 Sufism have many branches but most of them have beliefs and views completely opposite of Islamic teachings.
@@TheLadla1 only the new age branches. Original Sufism is the true Islam

I didn’t know about the Alawites until now. Interesting topic. Thanks.
As a religious studies major in college, I find myself mostly teaching others about religion, religious philosophy, hermeneutics, etc. This is where I come to learn new information that we didn't even touch in school. Thank you for providing a higher education for me. In this world where religion divides us culturally and politically, this channel brings faiths together through education and inclusivity. Thank you.
Thank you for the qualitative content. As always.
Hello fellow 2023 viewer!
Your pronunciation of Arabic words is surprisingly accurate for a non-arabic speaker
Not that accurate at all especially the الشدة but still there's no shame in this
@@thenewblog There is no such a thing as "accurate" ? Which Arabic dialect is considered as the "Gold Standard" ?... just like whose English is English anyway ?

Wow, this is VERY, I mean, very interesting. Taking the secondary figures and turned them into the main one! Hope there is more info on them in the future. Thanks for the video.
I know! I love researching some of these videos
There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! To you, LORD, I call; you are my Rock, do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who go down to the pit. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’ --------And I tell you that you are Peter,and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hadeswill not overcome it.

@Alawite Muslim Defence League Hi. I'm a shia from Pakistan. And many of my friends have kinda converted to Alawite or may be they don't even know this. But they call maula Ali as Allah. Can you tell me more about this sect? Any information, any facts, anything?
@@shabibmehdi7996
Okay i'm an agnostic, but was born to an alawite family so i have some knowledge about this faith, what do you want exactly?
@@haydarr7903 Hi. Any general information like who they worship, Or what is role of hazrat Ali in this religion?
Or anything else you wish to add to my knowledge
@@shabibmehdi7996
They worship Imam Ali
The believe he was a manifestation of god on Earth, he didn't take a human body like Christians believe of jesus, but just was just a "noor" i guess you know what this word means as a muslim.
So yeah they belive in a holy trinity, which contains God who was Ali during the islamic era, and Muhamad which was "made" by god (wasn't created cause there's a difference as they believe)
And then Muhammad "created " salman al farisi.
It's kinda related to what Aristotle thought of the nature of god and then the gonstics adopted it.
Names of god and the two in the trinity do change during the eras, in the christian era God was peter or shamoun (شمعون) to be more specific (cause i think there is a a historical mistake, as they believe the apostles (boutros, peter/boulous, paul/youhanna fam alzahab,literally as john the mouth of gold? /youhanna al mamdan, john the baptists/Matta, or marcus) of jesus as other manifestations of Muhammad or jesus and then still believe there was an another character named shamoun was "born" in a mysterious way and was adopted by mary the magdaline (see? Entirely different story) who is supposed to be God, but then this name was turned to peter?, so i'm wondering were there two peters? Cause there's no mention in the new testament of shamoun
The fact that he talked about a complex religious debate and was like "I encourage u to continue the discussion in the comments" shows that this channel is unlike anything else on youtube
Do you know anything about Emma & Alli?
Thank you for this explanation. I met many syrians and asked them about the Alawite. but no one could give a clear answer.

I've been trying to make sense of the alawites for a long time and this is the best explanation I have seen so far. No wonder I was not able to figure them out!
Much of what you see in this video has been misrepresented, which is because others are telling our beliefs for us, which is natural, because we believe that if we tell, we will be punished.
@@thetruthuntold9642 Oh you are an alawi? Nice to know! Do you have any reliable source on Alawism ? can we convert to it ?

A Sunni here. I absolutely love your channel man. Especially the presentation style.
A very informative and interesting video on the Alawites.
How about the ALEVIs of Turkey? I didn't see any video on your list. Do you have one or planning to make one?
You have outstanding presentations! But where did you find out information of such secretive groups?
Thank you for a very informative video on such a little-known religious group.
Your accent & pronunciation is fabulous, excellent!
Very interesting that so much is still so little understood and their community continues to hold their beliefs so secret. You mention that they celebrate a kind of communion which brings to mind the recent exploration of the early Christian eucharist and its relationship to the Greek mystery cult of Eleusis and in particular the increasing currency for the evidence that wine as it was referred to back then would likely include a medicinal component that would be formulated to generate visions among the participants. Considering the long history of Hellenism along the Coast of the Levant, and the strong focus that the early Christian churches had in that region it would not surprise me to know that it is still practiced or at least venerated to some degree. I refer to the recent book by Brian Muraresku "The Immortality Key" which is really quite an remarkable examination of the recent and ongoing research. Cheers.
As a Sunni Muslim, I always wondered what they were, thank you for explaining so clearly!
But it reminds me of the warning of the 73 sects subhanaAllah
These are definitely not part of the 73 sects. All of the 73 sects are people of innovation in Asma wal Sifat and other non extreme aqidah issues. Once you become a mushrik your not part of the 73 sect@@mohamedabdullahi3819
Thanks for ur great information i wrote 4 pages from ur video it's really interesting and clear explanation
I met a Turkish girl who belonged to this sect and after listening her story i got interested in knowing more about it. Thank God I came across your channel.
Good video, would have appreciated a comparison between the Alawites and the Alevis in Turkey (which you state are not the same), as, in Turkey, both the Alevis and the Alawites in Syria are seen as the same, and are historically connected. Then there's the order of Bektashis, who also share common beliefs, but were prominent in Rumelia - which might also be interesting to explore.
You should know one thing, the Alawites and the Alevis ARE NOTHING ALIKE AND NEVER COMPARE THEM TO EACHOTHER THANKS
@@Russes_Sidechick why? There are many in common
@@atomcamgaming alevis are also at fault with the murdering of the alawites and they're also Turkish and the Turkish hate the Alawite and so do the Alawites, if they are like alawites then why don't they become alawites?
@@Russes_Sidechick they are not the same like alawis but the humanity is the same. Alevis never attack people because of religion oder ethnik and you will never seen. Please dont compare them with sunni turks. Alevis are against erdogan and radikalism . Alevis from turkey had horrible past and they are still hated by turkish people. 80% of turkey is sunni . What can a alevi do inside this crazy people?
Good job but I have found some issues which I could not match with the acts I've seen/raised by:
My origins, I believe, is shamsi and I've never seen my grandpa prayed 5 times a day. It was always 3 times with no exact hours, yet generally: before breakfast early in the morning, around noon and lastly before sunset. He prayed after proper cleaning like any other Muslim, but yes, at home.
He told me that our religion doesn't require us make defined physical movements as praying in sünni islam but we can pray simply repeating sura from our soul. One could see him praying while watering the garden, feeding the doves or being busy with plants (no space, direction or movement requirement).
Another problem in your video is Ramadan fasting which my grandpa and grandma strictly obeyed. However, as I've seen old generation fast during Ramadan and additional months, I can't claim same things about forecomers which I think could relate to contemporary cultures rather than belief..
Thanks for the great work!
WONDERFULL !!!! Thanks ! All blessings !!!
Wow. I really appreciate this. I’ve been curious about this religion for a long time and this is by far the clearest video on the topic I have seen
not everything was right! but he did great trying to explain. fair we are a pretty secretive sect due to our size.
Nice overview. Would have loved more substantive depth into the means by which one of their ranks became ruler, as well as the dynamic caused by this theologically
Great and accurate content as usual ❤️
As a sworn to secrecy former alawi 😂 (athiest now), I can confirm the theological part.
Alawis are still afraid of not being considered muslim because of persecution, however even including the idea that God has incarnations, I think they still fullfil the main criteria of Islam.
Alawism still emphasizes the idea of the oneness of God even if he can take human form.
Although prayer has a drastically different method, it's nonetheless practiced five times a day to the same one God (Allah).
Zakah(helping the poor) and Haj(pilgrimage to Mecca) are also part of the faith.
Fasting in Ramadan is a main commandment contrary to the common belief that it's not, including a huge number of Alawis who think it's not.
Fasting, Haj, and prayer are a lot less practiced among Alawis, which gives an impression to outsiders or even some undevoted practitioners that they're not an essential part of the religion or not even a part of it (like fasting), that's maybe (in my opinion) due to far milder social pressure by Alawis on there children or on each other, compared to Sunnis and Shias, who generally enforce religious practices more often among their communities.
I'm pretty sure you're not an Alawi from my area.
I'm not an Alawi, I'm an athiest, and I 'was' an Alawi.

@@thetruthuntold9642 yes we're relatives, but there are still differences in theology and social practices that you might assume are same.

@@thetruthuntold9642
I don't think he meant the two branches of alawites, because Haidaris do also exist in syria (especially in lattakia and some villages in homs) but i guess he meant the turkish alevis that are kinda different from alawites (nusayris)
@@laithnouraldin3466 Extremely intresting comment. Is it true that Alawites are actualy the pre-islamic/pre-Arab people of Syria and represent a different Phoenician/Syriac origin and culture (less conservative) than the rest of Syria (especially the inner part)? That's why Alawites exist from Nusairiyah mountains until the coast (were historically Phoenicians existed)?
Thanks a gazillion for this video.
Good information Bro. May God bless you.
CZcams offered me this video after I watched a piece or two about the Druze. Between them, I've come to see that the US's Latter Day Saints -- who may or may not be Christian, according to one's theological point of view -- are not as eccentric as I have always supposed. This "sort of thing" seems to happen a lot. Names, places, events, guiding thoughts, all seem to get mixed and matched with slight variations among people who live in close proximity.
It's said that "a language is a dialect with an army and a navy". I suppose we can say in the same way that a religion is a movement (perhaps sect, perhaps cult) with a very large base. I don't know about the religion of Sikh people, but I've heard that it lies somewhere between Islam and Hinduism. And, in recent years, I became aware of the Yazidi people, also eastern, also not Muslim. I hope CZcams dishes up something about them as well as others I haven't yet heard of. Jains?
As an American who recognizes but doesn't practice any ancestral religion (outside of the practical, common-sense rules that appear in most), I find this insight-inspiring (as well as fun.)
Note: I see there's a talk about the Yazidis in the sidebar -- presented by the same channel. That will be my next click!
That's so true ,i am shocked that other people know about us (alawites muslims) who believe in imam Ali .that's so good ,thank you

I am Anatolian Turkmen Alevi, I lived with Arab Alevis, that is, the people mentioned in this video, for 3 years. There are 3 million alllawite people in Turkey. . . The only difference between Turkmen Alevis and Arab Alevis is that they do not perform semah, or religious dance, accompanied by baglama, but there are cem ceremonies and they sing some hymns in the style of idiom. In all Alevi groups, the holy day is Thursday evening. And what they all have in common is that they are places to visit tombs and saints.
This just plain wrong.
Can you provide the triad for the rest of Ma’nas please
Thank for your channel.
Fascinating video, thank you.
So when will you do the Alevi's? :)
Nice video, I have one comment or supplememt to add, in the section "holidays/festivals". Actually you forgot the biggest and most important holiday of the Alawites, the Eid Al-Ghadir.
This is the event when the Prophet Muhammed proclaimed Ali as his successor, 69 days before the Prophet passed away from this world.
Muhammed's famous statement "Min kantu maulahu, fi hatha Ali maulahu" was spoken here. Translation is ""For whomever I am his Mawla (leader), then 'Ali is his Mawla." This is for example also stated in Sunni hadith sources like At-Tirmithi, written record 3713.
Knowledgeable and impressive presentation
