TALISHIANS' RELIGY


99% percent of all Talishians are Shiah Muslims. Talishians are very keen, sensitive to their religy. Approximately 80% percent of Talishians are observing principles, rules of Shiah Islam. Talishians brought true Islam, Shiah Islam into Azerbaijan (result of this that 75% of Azerbaijani population is Shiah Muslims). Shiah Islam is non radical, humanous flow of Islam. Unlike Sunnizm, Shizm(Shiah Islam) does not consider Christians or Representers of other believes as crucial enemies or so. As well known there are no Shiah terroristic organizations or groups trying to change the entire world into Islamic world. Almost, at least big parts of the Irani Languaged nationalities (Aryans) are Shiahs. Also people of Azeri nation (nation that is of Irani origin but unfortunately assimilated among wild and uncultured Turkish/Oguz tribes) are Shiahs.

Initial dogma of Shizm as well as Sunnizm is acknowledgement of one God-Allah/Khuda “born by no one”, Mohammed as his prophet. Besides that Shiahs highly appreciate, respect 12 imams (Mohammed’s son in law-Ali and his direct 11 descendants). Shiahs believe that, prophet’s assistant, person who after the death of prophet led the Muslim community, could not be chosen, appointed by people (as Sunnis believe), he could be chosen only by God by the Mohammed’s mediation. According to the Shiah version Mohammed called Ali as his successor. Shiahs also highly respect Mohammed’s daughter, Ali’s wife Fatima.

Conception of Imam occupies very important place in Shizm. According to the Shiah believe; Person who by the order of Allah and determination of Mohammed, became successor of Islam’s prophet and directed directions in the Muslim community determined by supreme power, can be called as Imam. Followers of Shizm consider Ali as the first Imam and 11 of his descendants are also Imams. According to the Sunni scholars 11th Imam, Abu Mohammed al Hasan did not have any children. But according to the Shiah historiography 11th Imam’s son existed secretly and existed over 70 years and kept contacts with the Shiah leaders, than he mysteriously disappeared and keeps on existence till now days. He will appear by the end of days/history for leading all Shiahs to the Saint victory of Shizm and creation of fairer society.

Dogma of messiah, Makhdi, is a central, important theory in Shizm. Like in Christianity in Shiah Islam there is a believe that prophet will come back and Shiahs believe this will be their 12th Imam.

According to the history, except the last Imam all Shiah Imams are martyrs for they died in the struggle for the true religy.

Talishians as true Shiahs are ready to die for their believe in the name of God (Khuda-in Irani languages, Khido-in Talish language), his prophet and 12 imams.

It should be mentioned that, many scholars insist on that, Shiah believe emerged in XV century, when Persians first understood that they are Aryans/Indho-Europeans, all over the history they have had great culture, states, poets etc and being like Turks, Arabs and other Muslims not of Indho-European origin are shameful for the nations of supreme, Indho-European origin. We can not say true it is or not we just can mention that Irani Languaged nations/Aryans never were Nazis.

Shiahs do deeply respect Europeans and their believes. It is also known fact that Irani Languaged nationalities saved Europe from Turkish (Sunni Muslims) wild violence, expansion and occupation. Unfortunately now days branches of one tree do not support each other even fight with each other.
