Burhan al-Haqq

Burhan al-Haqq (PerB|برهان الحق) is a 1963 (1342 Persian calendar) seminal work [Hamzeh'ee, M. Reza. The Yaresan, ISBN 3-922968-83-X (1990). Page 22] by Nur Ali Elahi which is a theological and spiritual work, dedicated to showing the inner spiritual aims shared by the Quran, Shia Islam and the Ahl-e Haqq order [Elahi, Nur Ali. Burhan al-Haqq, (1963 first edition), Library of Congress call number BP195.A4 I42 1963 - card number:75-284686. ] . The author M. Reza Hamzeh'ee writes in "The Yaresan" that "Elahi can be regarded both as a reformer and a conformist and tends towards Sufism. Borhan al-Haqq, which he published in 1963, is the most important document as regards Yaresan rituals [Hamzeh'ee, M. Reza. The Yaresan, ISBN 3-922968-83-X (1990). Page 22] .

It was originally written in Persian, but also has many sentences in the Kurdish and Arabic languages. In 1964, Dr. Simon Weightman wrote a piece titled "The significance of Kitab Burhan al- Haqq" [Weightman, Simon. The significance of Kitab Burhan al- Haqq. Journal of the British Institute of Persian Studies, 2 (1964)] .

Elahi states that he has left "nothing unsaid", in the books he wrote. "Even if you read Burhan al-Haqq a thousand times, you will find something new in it each time. [Elahi, Nur Ali. Asar ol-Haqq (Words of Truth), #588, ed. B. Elahi, Volume II. (Jeyhoun 1991)] He also states "know that Burhan al-Haqq cannot be abridged. There are many secrets in my book... It is only after me that people will understand what Burhan Al-haqq is." He states that "The higher the level of knowledge rises, the better one will comprehend the scope; the more centuries pass, the more their value will increase. I alone know how much research I have done." [Elahi, Nur Ali. Asar ol-Haqq [Words of Truth] , ed. B. Elahi, Volume I, #2076 (Jeyhoun, 1978).]
