What Is Alevism? & What Is Hakk?

In this video, Pir Hasan Hayri Şanlı presents a basic framework for understanding what Alevism is and discusses Alevism through the concept of Hakk and the philosophy of Vahdet-i Vücut. The narration emphasizes that Alevism is a path that does not separate the human being from the universe or from Hakk, but understands existence within the idea of the unity of being (Vahdet-i Vücut).

The concept of Hakk is explained within the framework of continuity and mutual connectedness between human beings, nature, and the universe. Alevism is thus presented as a belief system grounded in this holistic cosmology.

This recording was made on 18 November 2025 in Dersim, Ovacık, Ziyaret (Jare) Village, with the support of Pir Haber Ajansı (PİRHA), within the framework of the Alevi Encyclopedia’s “From the Voices of the Path Leaders” series.
