Partow Hooshmandrad writes: Ahl-i Haqq (Yaresan) is a unique religion with the fundamental teaching that the power of God, following the original stage of nothingness or absolute oneness, manifests itself in a cyclic manner in seven layers. This sevenfold power of God is called the Haftan.

The first complete earthly cycle of the manifestation of the Ahl-i Haqq religion goes back to about eight hundred years ago when Sultan Sahak Barzanji revealed the faith in the Hawramanat Kurdish region.

Ahl-i Haqq respects all religious beliefs. However, even though it might share some universal ideas that are present in other spiritual teachings and religions, Ahl-i Haqq is a distinct faith.
