Druze: God
built 629 days ago
The Druze comprise another sect which is not widely regarded as being "truly" Islam by many Muslims. This group diverged from mainstream Islam in the eleventh century when some Isma'ilis started to believe that God became manifest in the personality of a prophet or imam. They were declared to be heretics when the eleventh century leader Muhammad Bin Ismail ad Darazi declared that the Fatimid Caliph Hakim (996-1021) was actually divine.

To the guest from May 2005, the pride of the Druze comes not only from reading religous scripts and follow the word, but it comes from understanding of universal logic. They believe that in order to have a "fair" trial in the end of time, one cannot be judged only for one life (What if one dies at birth ?) therefor , their belief is that, at death, one's soul moves to a new body at its birth and keeps on living. Therefor, giving God the tools to give one another chance, and teaches one to be kind to all people because one might end up being born anywhere to any family.

Al-Hakim is the central focus of the Druze faith. He is call al-wahda, the manifestation of the divine unity. Like some Isma’ilis, the Druze believe there have been many (perhaps 70) incarnations of God. The True Jesus was an incarnation of Cosmic Intelligence, but not Mohammed. al-Hakim was the final incarnation of God.

Because the Druze considered Tariq al-Hakīm to be the incarnation of God, they were persecuted by mainstream Muslims, especially after Hakīm's death in 1021. The Druze took up taqiyya ("dissimulation"), a practice whereby they conceal their true beliefs and outwardly accept the religious beliefs of those amongst whom they live, even as they secretly retained their true convictions. 1

As a formulated creed, the Druze system is almost 1,000 years old. In the year 386 AH / 996 CE caliph Hakim bi-Amrillahi (bi Amrillahi, "he who judges by the command of God") began to reign; and during the next 25 years he led a colourful life.

The Druze believe in the Unity of God (whence the real name: Ahl al-Tawheed (sons of the Unity)). They are monotheists, like Judaism and Islam. Their theology has a Neo-platonic view about how God interacts with the world through emanations and ... is similar to some gnostic and other esoteric sects. They are also influenced by Sufi philosophy.
