It has reached me in one of the old manuscripts of the Alawite corpus the following: "I was in the presence of our Master (from him is the light), along with a group of those possessing spiritual ranks (ahl al-marātib), when I asked him:

"What becomes of the believer when he reaches the limit of his purification?"

Many people often asked this question after witnessing the insults directed at the Islamic god and the acts perpetrated by the shabīḥa (regime enforcers),
such as forcing people to prostrate before the images of Ḥāfeẓ al-Assad and his son, or the tampering with verses of the Qurʾān to replace the name of God with that of Ḥāfeẓ al-Assad.

Some have argued that the Alawites are a branch of Shīʿism, specifically, a sect of the Imāmī Twelvers, based on the claim that they believe in the Imams, particularly ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib. However, this claim fails under scrutiny, for belief in certain figures does not imply belief in the religion those figures are associated with. Many religions share figures or even texts, but this does not mean they are the same.

In the Yezidi tradition, they hold the lion’s share in him, indeed, to them, he is ʿAlī Shēr (ʿAlī the Lion). The term shēr means “lion,” and the lion’s presence is evident in the biography of Imām ʿAlī, for his mother named him “Ḥaydara” (another word for lion).

Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (d. ca. 815 CE), also known in Latin as Geber, is a profoundly enigmatic and foundational figure in Islamic esotericism, early science, and occult philosophy. He is credited with being one of the "Fathers of Chemistry", but his historical identity is shrouded in mystery.

He is not bound by the law (sharīʿah) or the historical succession of prophets, but is rather an eternal witness to the truth (ḥaqq) across time. He represents that mysterious aspect of God that intervenes in the world in veiled form, appearing in different guises.

It was said that God imposed upon His angels that they glorify Him, but they wearied and slackened. So they glorified Him, but grew fatigued and incapable.
