'''Dawra''' (Asahri: ضورة, transl. "The Cycle") is a [[W:monolatry|Monolatrist]] religion founded by [[Suleiman Abd'ildarra]]. It centers around the philosophy of peaceful change and the teachings of Suleiman and future [[Mutadiit|Mutadiits]], or "Speakers of God." Dawra has about
Dawranis believe that the universe was not created, but simply came into being one day. Along with the universe, three deities were created: [[Ildarra]] (إلضرة), who was the deity of positive change and forward movement, [[Arzaal]] (أرزال), the deity governing stagnancy, contentedness, and remaining at a standstill, and [[Salahayr]] (سلحاير), the deity of chaos, harmful change, and moving backwards. These deities together created various parts of the cosmos, including [[Urth]]. The Dawrani hold that life was an unintentional consequence of the creation of Urth, and that the evolution of sentient species is a result of natural scientific processes coexistent with Dawran beliefs. In Dawran mythology, each of the three major deities (or "overspirits") oversee and encompass many ''Maniitou'' (منيطو), or spirits, which Dawranis believe are the remnants of those on Urth who have died. Spirits are believed to have the power to influence the natural realm through methods that connect to things the people were associated with in real life. Dawranis believe that this ability goes beyond the physical world, and can influence emotions and behavior.
