The Druze are among the esoteric sects.

00:00:14.050 --> 00:00:17.050
They are followers of Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Darzi.

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:20.050
This is attributed to the children of Darzah,

00:00:20.050 --> 00:00:22.050
meaning tailors.

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:26.050
He deified Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah al-Ubaydi.

00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:29.050
The Druze still exist today,

00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:33.049
in the mountains of Lebanon and in the occupied Golan.

00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:36.049
They have a book called Al-Hikmah.

00:00:36.049 --> 00:00:39.049
They are divided into 'Uqqal,

00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:41.049
who are their wise men and elders,

00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:45.049
and Juhhal, who are their common people.

00:00:45.049 --> 00:00:47.049
They have rituals and secrets.

00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:51.049
They believe in much of what is in Hinduism,

00:00:51.049 --> 00:00:54.049
especially the doctrine of the transmigration of souls,

00:00:54.049 --> 00:00:57.049
which they call reincarnation.

00:00:57.049 --> 00:01:01.049
They call themselves the Unitarians.
