The Alian Order (in Bulgarian: алиани, in Turkish: Alevi) is a Shia Muslim community based in Bulgaria. The term “Alian” derives from the veneration of Ali ibn Abi Talib, cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad, whom the community considers an emanation of God. The community goes by several names in Bulgaria, including Aliani (Алиани), Alevii (Алевии), Kazalbashi (or Kızılbaşı, meaning “red heads” in Turkish), and Bektashi.
