Summary/Abstract: Alevism emerged as a result of the power struggles over who would be the caliph after the death of the Prophet. It has been used to characterize the followers of Prophet Ali and the members of the Ahl al-Bayt. In Islamic history, it has also been used to describe different mystical, political and theological formations that are considered to be part of the Shia and Shia and have beliefs about Prophet Ali. In the course of the historical process, Alevism has been divided into different branches within itself and has become a belief that shows its influence in different geographies. Finding a place for itself among Turks, Alevism became one of the most important religious organizations in Anatolia, especially with Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli. The Alevis, who spread to the Balkans with the settlement policy, were organized as "hearths" and continued their beliefs. Alevis who returned to Anatolia with the migrations from the Balkans continued their beliefs and culture. In this study, the origins, religious organizations, similarities and differences in terms of worship and social life of Seyyid Ali Koç Baba Quarry and Seyyid Şücaaddin Veli Quarries, which are among the Alevi communities living in Eskişehir and its vicinity, are focused on. Büyükyayla, Salihler and Kütahya Aydınlar villages around Eskişehir Seyitgazi, which are predominantly inhabited by the followers of Ali Koç Baba Quarry, and Arslanbeyli Village of Şücaaddin Veli Quarry were selected as samples.
