Summary/Abstract: Ahl-e Haqq belief and Ahl-e-Haqq community continue to exist in the western regions of Iran today. Ahl-e Haqq belief, which has many common features with the Alevi-Bektashi communities living in Anatolia, has created its own unique value system. The subject of this study is the myth of Miraj, which has an important place in the belief of Ahl-e Haqq. The miraculous myth is a frequently discussed topic, especially in the Alevi-Bektashi communities in Anatolia. We encounter the miraj myth that existed in Anatolia among the Ahl-e Haqqs in Iran as well. The myth of Ahl-e Haqq, which is told among the Ahl-e Haqqs in Iran, is a reflection of the belief of emergence within the system of values. Along with the myth described here, Hz. It is proved that Ali is the appearance of God. In Anatolian Alawism, the mirac myth forms the beginning of the cem ceremony by establishing a connection with the forty community. Shamans in Turkish culture rise to the sky by cutting their ties from this world in ceremonies. In these ascents, they generally perform their ascent by means of a bird. Similarly, Hz. While Mohammed ascends to the sky, he ascends to the sky on a horse called Burak. The aim of this study is to evaluate the myth of ascension in the Ahl-e Haqq values system in the context of Turkish culture. For this purpose, an ethnographic field study based in Iran's Tehran, Tabriz and Kermanshah was conducted between 2017-2019. The data obtained from the field study was the source of this study. In addition, the words, which are among the first-hand sources obtained from the field, also served as a source for the study. The data obtained were evaluated in terms of cultural history.
