Abstract
- Nusairis and Their Conception of God ?
Nusayriyye Communion, which was founded in hijri III. century by Mohammad b. Nusayr, is accepted as a very extreme Shia subsection and the most important difference from other shia subsections is its god comprehension. In generally manner this communion has a syncretic nature and this comprehension cannot be summarized only by ascribing godhead to Ali.
There is a huge gap between the definition of God, which is confessed by communion members, and complied information about the communion because of esoteric characretistics of the communion. This situation makes difficult to determine their belief transparently and that?s why while researching about their godhead; apart from history of communions sources, communions members? words and actions will be throw light upon us. Especially, recent conflicts between Syrian goverment which is ruling by Nusayris and citizens has been revived Nusayri minority?s godhead comprehension, religious believes and rituals.
