MİKAİLİLERDE İNANÇ/en
İnanç emerges among Mikaili communities as a multilayered field in terms of both sectarian affiliation and historical lineage narratives. The source text offers comparative observations on the belief structures of different Mikaili groups along the line of Irak Kürdistanı, Van, Ağrı, and Polatlı/Haymana.
Sectarian structure
The text states that the known Mikaili groups are largely Sünni, and that the distinction between Şafii and Hanefi varies by region. The Mikailis around Van and Ağrı are predominantly described as Sünni-Şafii, while those in Polatlı and Haymana are defined as Sünni-Hanefi.
Lineage narratives
It is stated that in some families there are lineage narratives extending to Ehlibeyt and the line of Seyyid, and that such expressions are also encountered on gravestones.
Conclusion
Among the Mikailis, belief is a broad field that is not limited only to sectarian affiliation, but also includes lineage, Sufi influence, and folk beliefs together.
