The Aqlani believe that two orphan twins, [[Nura]] and [[Badr]] (born c. 140 BCE), were prophets of the deity [[Qa]]. They are believed to have received revelations about the nature of the universe, the divine, and sapient morality, all of which was later collated in the [[Haqiqah]]. While Badr died as a young adult, Nura continued to have visions after his passing. She would give birth to 11 daughters during her lifetime. Her eldest, [[Ayah]], took the title of [[Khalifah]] upon her passing in 63 BCE, assuming religious leadership of the Aqlani. The [[Khalifah]] has been a direct descendant of Nura since the role's inception.
The Haqiqah teaches that those who live their life according its principles will achieve ''wahda'' (unity), meaning their soul will be liberated into the cosmos. Those who do not may face ''tams'' (obliteration, banishment), meaning their soul will be banished from the universe and obliterated. The Aqlani believe in a form of soft [[W:Predeterminism|predeterminism]] where Qa has already determined the future, but done so for every possible path, hence leaving it to the individual to choose one.▼
Qa is generally depicted as a [[w:Corvidae|corvid]], though Aqlani do not believe this is Qa's actual form. Religious scholars generally interpret Qa's form as unknowable, nonexistent, or spanning the universe. Nonetheless, corvids and other birds have come to occupy an important place in the faith. Customarily, places of worship will place bird feeders on their grounds, and some adherents abstain from eating winged creatures, though there is no such requirement in scripture.
