Druzism is a monotheistic religion incorporating several elements from Abrahamic religions, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Pythagoreanism, and other philosophies. The Druze call themselves Ahl al-Tawhid "the People of Monotheism" or al-Muwaḥḥidūn "the Unitarians". Druzism originated from Ismailism, a branch of Shia Islam, but is it's own faith. Druze follow the seven pillars of Ismailism.
Basics[]
The Druze religion originated in the Ismaili sect of Shia Islam, but has many features of gnosticism and neoplatonism in addition to the Abrahamic religions. Defining features in game:
- Muslim rulers can - and are expected to have - multiple wives.
- Mosque Holdings can be held by anyone without penalty.
- Muslim dynasties grow decadent unless the men have enough land and win wars.
Druzism is a heresy of Shia Islam.
