SHIITIZMI, ILAHITË E ASHIKISË NË TRADITËN E DERVISHËVE
SHIITISM, ILAHII AND FLIRTATION SONGS IN DERVISHES’ TRADITION

Summary/Abstract: In this paper it is dealt the appearance and historical development of shiitism especially emphasising the oral musical creative work of the Albanian dervishes where it is dealt with creations of bejtexhis, ilahiis and lyrical songs of flirtation. It deals with the way of singing, handling (usage) of musical instruments and for spreading out of these songs in all other Albanian regions. About shiitism, the foundation of sects of dervishes and of their historical development, fractures and their fights with the Arab Sunnis and later on with the Turks, the paper has put much light on religious and political contradictions, which for many centuries continued to be the main reason of their no unification of positions, their faiths and attitudes or mentality. In cases, when dealing with the Dervishes’ music, the author points out its role in religious rituals, as it is ziqri, mevludi and other religious manifestations in which the music is in their function, therefore their inseparable part as well.
