Abstract

Being primarily typical of Hinduism, the belief in reincarnation of souls had penetrated through probably various "heresies"—into the Muslim heterodox milieu and became an organic element of many local doctrines, particularly those of Extreme Shi'ites.This paper focuses on the modern perception of the idea of tanāsux among the Ahl-i Haqq, the "People of the Truth". It is mainly based upon the field materials collected from the Ahl-i Haqq in the Iranian provinces of Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and Eastern Azerbaijan.
