The basis of the Alevi/Bektashi philosophy is the Humanist philosophy of life and teaching. They perceive the religion of Islam with a mystical interpretation, and they try to see both divinity (Divine essence) and lore (Divine enlightenment) in the essence of man, starting from the relationship between the creator and the creature. The source of Islam in Alevi/Bektashi philosophy is not the fear of God, but the love of God. In Alevi Philosophy, God is approached not with fear, but with love, affection and affection. This love and affection is just like the love and affection a child has for his mother and father.
