Abstract

Alevism had been a closed society in pre-modern era. As a closed society based on major basis for protecting social unity, continuing existence and passing on to the future generations their teachings. One of them is creating a hierarchical structure and making Pir leader this hierarchical structure. This hierarchy “Pir, Mürşit, Rehber and Talip” is large as to cover all of society. Leadership is important in the works of Haci Bektash, Buyruks and Divans that called classical works Alevi Bektashi. However Haci Bektash is presented as the top model in the contemporary Alevism, altought he not given almost no space in Buyruks that is important in the establishment of Qizilbash community. We will consider in this study to return from identical groups to specifically religious group, compare to Hacı Bektash’s important in contemporary Alevism and Buyruks.
