Summary/Abstract: Sami Frasheri is one of the most prominent figures of the Albanian National Renaissance period. With the diversity and multidimensionality of his works, Sami Frasheri indicated cultural and intellectual universality. He was a great scientist that contributed to the progress of many scientific fields (natural and social) and art fields. One of the complex issues of the Balkan peoples and especially for Albanians with which he dealt more, is the beginning of the spread of Islam, which was embraced in Albanian lands, not only in its main variant, Sunni, but also in the form of different orders (tarikate), as Bektashi, Halveti, Melami, Kaderi, Sadi, Rufai, Nakshibendi, Shazeli, Mevlevi etc. In this study we tried, though concisely, to present his thoughts and views on the Bektashi tariqa, tariqah best known in Albanian lands, which found more support from Christian population than in other countries of the Ottoman Empire. By browsing, studying and analyzing the collection of the works of Sami Frasheri, we have attempted to disassociate in inductive and deductive approach and content of their submission, to draw conclusions, coming through a critical perspective, without prejudice and without prior constructions, but with conclusions that flow naturally as a result of its author's views on this tarikat.
