A Comparative Study of Manifestation in Islamic Mysticism and Ahl al-Haqq

The subject of “Comparative Study of Manifestation in Islamic Mysticism and Ahl al-Haqq” is to seek, in a descriptive-analytical way, the commonalities and differences between Muslim mystics and Ahl al-Haqq in the matter of manifestation. Therefore, we say that in the view of Muslim mystics and based on the unity of existence, the universe is the manifestation of divine names and attributes, and every being, in turn, is the nominal manifestation of the names of the Almighty in the order in which it is located. Muslim mystics classify divine manifestations into five Imams and call the most important of them “comprehensive universe” or “perfect man”. According to him, a perfect human being has the ability to fully manifest himself for Hazrat Haqq and has the talent to be the mirror of the complete name of “Allah”. On the other hand, the followers of Ahl al-Haqq, whose real name is “Yarsan”, also believe in the world of manifestations and believe that there are manifestations for God and the world of creation has been created in stages. He also considers man as a perfect manifestation of the manifestations of Hazrat Haqq and therefore they consider him a special position and dignity.
