Hi from a Turkmen Alevî
The Islam of today is nothing what the Prophet Muhammed had preached, it has been distorted by sunnis and even shias.
The Muslims of today follow that of Umayyad Caliphate
If you want some info about the true Islam than I can help.
For example in Alevî their is no gender seperation, we do not go mosques as mosques cursed Hz Ali and we're built by Umayyad dynasty. Plus they
slaughtered the Ahlibeyt whom are the prophets family.
As Alevî s we believe in science, all faiths are the truth, we do not segregate
We believe religions cause discrimination hence we call people "can" soul.
A path without science ends up in darkness
Ataturk was Alevî too and has the same belief
We had gender equality back 1400 years ago etc
Quotes of Haji Bektas Veli (Alevi saint)
Any road that doesn’t follow science, ends in darkness,
Give education to women,
Control on your tongue, hands and waist,
The greatest book to read is man himself,
Honesty is the door of a friend,
Being a teacher is to give, not to take,
The universe is for man, and man for the universe,
Science illuminates the paths of truth,
We travel in the way of science, comprehension and human love,
Clean where you’ve settled and deserve the money you’ve made,
Let’s be one, be big and energetic,
Don’t hurt anyone, even though you’ve been hurt,
Don’t ask anyone for anything that would be difficult for you to do,
Don’t blame any nation or individual,
Blessed are those who illuminate the darkness of thought,
Keep on searching, and you’ll find,
The beauty of the face consists of the words you speak,
Don’t forget that even your enemy is human,
The biggest God-given miracle is work,
In the language of friendly conversation, you can’t discriminate between man and woman,
Everything God has created is in order,
To us, there’s no difference between man and woman,
If you think there is, you’re mistaken.
His thoughts are based on human love and human existence. This vision is similar to the 1948 Charter on Human Rights. His thoughts were also shared by
M. Kemal Atatürk 600 years later, and the Turkish Republic was built on the principles of secularism, democracy and respect for human rights. His
thoughts are still alive and still lighten the way for many people.
It’s not the trivet but the fire gives the heat,
The miracle is not in the crown but in the khirkah (woolen garment worn by a dervish)
Whatever you’re searching for, search in yourself,
It’s neither in Jerusalem, Mecca nor in the Hadj.
Open your hand (be generous to everyone),
Share your food,
Open the door of your house when somebody needs shelter,
Close your eyes (don’t be led astray by the artificial beauties of the world),
Control your waist (Don’t be a victim of your sexual impulses),
Control your tongue.
He who comes with patience and God,
Stands by our side.
He who works with morality and wisdom and passes us,
And stands our side.
