Aqlanism: Difference between revisions

AqlaniThe peopleAqlani 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,. andShe 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 always been a direct descendant of Nura upsince tothe presentrole's dayinception.

The Haqiqah teaches that those who live a goodtheir life according theits principles it sets out will achieve ''wahda'' (unity), meaning their beingsoul will progressively be returnedliberated tointo the universecosmos.

The Aqlani believe that whilewhere Qa has already determined the future, Qa hasbut done so for every possible path, hence leaving it to the individual to choose one.

The religion is majoritarily practiced in [[Qayam]] and [[Muštamarah]], although there are significant populations in [[Axdel]] and [[Kinyonga]]. A plurality of Aqlani in the present day consider themselves ''mumin'' (believers) as opposed to ''mumarasah'' (practicing), meaning they seek to follow the Haqiqah and believe in Qa, but do not engage in active religious practices outside of major holidays and events. There are still substantial amounts of ''mumin'' in the world, even constituting a majority of Aqlani in [[Muštamarah]]. A growing number of adherents identify as "Agnostic Aqlani". These individuals generally focus on the teachings in scripture, and claim that the divine or mystical aspects of the religion are unknowable, thus being mostly irrelevant to their urthly lives.
