Hajji Bektash Wali

Bektashi Order


Bektashi Order


Bektashi Order of Sufis


Hajji Bektash Wali (Haci Bektas Veli) (1209-1271)


There are 15 Bektashi centers worldwide with 15 leaders. Among them, Haji Reshat Bardhi Dedebaba of Albania is perhaps most prominent.


Turkey, Albania


Tirana, Albania


Bektashism is a branch of Sufism (the more mystical branch of Islam), but also shares beliefs and practices with Shia Islam, making it a bit of a hybrid within Islam. As with all Sufis, it affirms that the Quran has two meanings — a literal one, and a deeper, esoteric message.


Albania, Turkey, United States
