This study examines the concept of sacrifice within Alevi lodges, based on verses related to sacrifice and common understandings in the Islamic world. This study aims to examine the concept of sacrifice in Alevism in a comparative manner, considering the fundamental concept of sacrifice in other Muslim groups in the Islamic world. This qualitative research is a case study conducted using a descriptive method. The research data was obtained through document review, examining works belonging to the Alevi tradition and sources from other Muslim groups, and interviews with dedes who led the rituals within Alevi lodges. The data was then analyzed. The Alevi tradition is an umbrella term for lodges dominated by Sufi thought and religious practices. Therefore, a Sufi life is prominent in the Alevi tradition. While the Alevi tradition preserves the fundamental practices of Islam as they are prevalent among Muslims, it has shaped these practices within the framework of Sufi thought and religious practices. In the Islamic world, sacrifice is one of the acts of worship performed by all Muslims as a fardh, wajib, and sunnah. In the Alevi tradition, the concept of sacrifice, as found in Muslim schools of Islam, is interpreted through the metaphor of Abraham and Ishmael, God’s gift of a ram to them. Alevi-Bektashi circles generally embrace the prevailing understanding of sacrifice in Islam, offering it solely to God. They perform sacrifices with a view to symbolizing the willingness to sacrifice one’s most precious possession, even one’s own life, for God’s sake, as illustrated by the Quranic example of Abraham and Ishmael (Quran, As-Saffat, 37:99-110). Indeed, the Gülbanks recited during the rituals of sacrifice are a formalization of this understanding. Indeed, the expressions “Khalil’s sacrifice,” “Decree of the Exalted,” “Obedience of Ismail,” and “Tığ-i Cebrail” are the embodiment of this concept. The Alevi tradition has also incorporated the practice of sacrifice, based on this fundamental understanding, into the life of the Sufi order. This classification into “inner” and “outer” sacrifices is a clear indication of this. Internal sacrifices include the “İkrar Sacrifice,” “Görgü” Sacrifice, “Musahiplik” Sacrifice, “Düşkünlük Sacrifice,” “Dardan İndirme Sacrifice,” “Abd al-Musa” Sacrifice, “Muharram” Sacrifice, and “Hızır” Sacrifice. External sacrifices include the “Eid al-Adha” Sacrifice, “Vow Sacrifice,” “Thanksgiving” Sacrifice, “Nevruz” Sacrifice, “Shrift Visit” Sacrifice, and “Hıdırellez” Sacrifice. Therefore, the understanding of sacrifice in Alevism is completely consistent with the understanding of sacrifice in other Muslim groups in Islam.
