Haqq–Muhammad–Ali is a doctrine of mystical communion inAlevism that involvesHaqq ('Truth', referring to the divine nature ofAllah),Muhammad ('Yol' orsunnah, referring to thejem), andAli (Nūr, referring to theAwliya).[citation needed]
InAlevi thought, there are three creative principles: the latent breath calledHaqq orAllah; the prototypal human, who is made up of active and passive principles calledYol,Sunnah, orMuhammad (theJem); and the divine light calledNur, which is expressed asAli. Communion (ittihad) in Alevism is not comparable with theChristianTrinity, whose three personas arethe Father,the Son andthe Holy Spirit, nor with the HindutritheisticTrimurti ofBrahma,Shiva andVishnu, and not with polytheistic ancient Egypt inOsiris,Isis andHorus,[1][2] one cannot accurately depict such examples as being representative of the Haqq–Muhammad–Ali communion (ittihad), since according to Alevi or Bektashi beliefs (wahdat al-mawjud), only Allah is a real entity, Muhammad and Ali being simple manifestations of the way (Yol) and the light (Noor) of Allah (Haqq) and not of Allah himself, hence they are neither equal to it nor separate independent entities.[3][4][5]
