Bektashi Rituals

Bektashi rituals are spiritual practices rooted in the Bektashi order, a mystical Islamic tradition emphasizing love, tolerance, and devotion. Central rituals include collective prayers, special ceremonies called "duas," and symbolic acts like shared meals and music, which foster community and spiritual connection. They often incorporate elements of Sufism, such as remembrance of God through chant and meditation. Rituals are performed in gatherings called "tekkes" or "tekke," where participants engage in spiritual learning, prayer, and rituals designed to deepen their connection with the divine and promote harmony among community members.
