Theses and Dissertations

Forma, funksioni dhe konstruksioni janë tri elementet bazë mbi të cilat ndërtohet arkitektura në përgjithësi.

Një ndërtesë duhet të ketë strukturë dhe plan që i përgjigjet kërkesave funksionale, të harmonizuara me ambientin e saj natyral dhe të formoj një tërësi intelektuale të qartë dhe të integruar.

Bektashizmi i jep vëmendje të veçantë Waḥdat al-Wujūd (Njësimit) të formuluar nga Ibn Arabiu, një formë panenteizmi kjo. Ka gjithashtu ndikime të mëdha nga Shi'izmi, me përnderim ndaj Aliut, Dymbëdhjetë Imamëve dhe ndërmendjen ritualore të Ashures në përkujtim të Betejës së Qerbelasë. Bektashijtë e çmojnë Nevruzin si ditë të shenjtë.
