درباره کتاب Islam in the Balkans

Islam, as a religion and culture, beginning to spread in Balkans during all those Ottoman conquests. Since then, that culture takes root in Balkans, and lasting there up to our days. At the same time, among local population, members of the various Sufi orders, like bektashiyya, tijaniyya, qadiriyya, khalwatiyya, sa’adiyya, rifaiyya and mawlaviyya, begin to spread their own teachings, and, as a result, throughout Balkans starts to emerge innumerable tekkes and zawiyas. During the Communist regime in Albania, with the banning of religion, and, of course, all activities of the Sufi orders, many of those tekkes, are closed, faded out and finally disappeared. Some of them are literally destroyed.

As for number of Bektashis and followers or members or even sympathizers of the other Sufi orders in Albania, there are many assumptions, but it is very difficult to estimate or to establish even close, not to say, precise data. However, bearing in mind their (dervish’s) influence in this region, it is possible to say, rather correct and true, that at least half of whole Muslim population in this part of Europe and Balkans is, in some way, connected or affiliated with the certain Sufi order.
