Although Islamic scholars agree on what these religious services are, which are performed in certain times with certain conditions, especially in Sufism, and in Alevi-Bektashi belief, which is the extension of Sufism in Anatolia, and in classical sources of them, some esoteric and spiritual salaat and ablution considerations, which are not opponent but at least adverse to obvious/formal religious duties have appeared. Under the influence of these considerations, today, some Alevi-Bektashi people have moved away from the Orthodox Islamic concept, which is the biggest body of Islam, and have brought a discourse in which it is claimed that the sincerity and the essence are the most important concepts in Alevi worshipping philosophy rather than formal actions, and the salaat in the Quran was not in the form which was perceived and applied by Sunni people today, the real salaat was mentioning God internally, and the real ablution was clearing the soul, which caused that a problem aroused telling that this discourse did not agree and is not consistent with classical sources. For this reason, the salaat and ablution interpretations included in the Four Gates (Shariah, Dervish Order, Wisdom, Absolute Truth), in basic classical sources of Alevi- Bektashi, and in "Buyruk and Makâlât", which are attributed to Haci Bektaş Veli and Sheikh Safi, starting with the Sufis in Bagdad, Basra and Kufe, have been examined in detail in the study to cast a light on this problem. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that the salaat and ablution in Alevi-Bektashi belief are accepted as the basic and ideal worshipping forms in the interpretations of Dervish Order, Wisdom, Absolute Truth Gates, the obvious salaat and ablution, which exist in the Shariah gate in the first and deepest rank, and which are exhibited with the certain shapes and forms of organs, are not held over or postponed, and are not ignored.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAblutionAlevi-BektashiBuyrukEsoteric interpretationMakâlâtSalaatArticle821251512-s2.0-85020438390Q3
