Origin and Duties of the Levites or Ahl al-Bayt

(Translated into English with the help of ChatGPT)

         Who were the ancient Hebrews, and why are they referred to as the “chosen people”? Today, this question captivates the interest of many. Here, we aim to address it through the logic of the ancient sages.

According to the Torah, the chosen ones belong to the tribe of Levi:

"At that time, the Lord separated the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord, to serve Him, and to bless in His name, as continues to this day; therefore, a Levite has no portion or inheritance with his brothers: the Lord Himself is his inheritance, as the Lord, your God, has spoken to him."

Consequently, the tribe of Levi is considered chosen because the Lord Himself is their portion, and they serve God and are able to bless in His name. To further understand the tribe of Levi, we first turn to the logic of the ancient sages.

As is known, in the Torah, the single language of the first “humans” is called safa ahat. The Quran refers to the first “humans” as prophets, who acted as messengers and admonishers. To the extreme Ismaili Shiites, they are known as Ikhwan al-Safa, meaning “pure brothers.” Their purity was associated with the knowledge they received through ecstatic insight from primordial matter, i.e., from Eloah (Ilah). The Ismailis referred to this knowledge as Sufism, where the symbol safa ahat represents “the Sufism of God.”

It is known that the Torah is written using consonants only. Accordingly, in Sufism, consonants serve as symbols, and to understand the meaning of these symbols, one must find corresponding symbols in other sources.

The Levite symbol in Sufism is read as LWN. In ancient sources, this symbol appears as Liban, Lebanon, Alban, etc., signifying El-Benu, i.e., the spiritual world of Ba/Benu. This symbol is also interpreted as Levi-An, referring to the tribe of Levi residing in the city of Ane, otherwise known as the ancient Egyptian city of Hel (Heliopolis). This indicates that the heavenly world of spirits, Lbnum/Alban, was created on the earth of the tribe of Levi—in the city of Hel/Ane.

It is known that the chosen tribe of Levi was called the Levites. In Sufism, the symbol “Levite” is equivalent to the symbol al-Bayt, which in the Quran means “house.” In my books and articles, I have demonstrated that the symbol bayt or bit in ancient sources refers to the celestial house, the realm of the dead, or paradise, which was created by the Turkic Pirs (theurgist-pharaohs) in the city of Hel (Heliopolis) through sacrificial rituals. In the Torah, Albanian, Turkic, and other sources, this paradisiacal house is likened to a heavenly tent. In Islam, this heavenly tent is called the Yemeni covering or the Kisa cloak, which the Prophet Muhammad used to cover himself and his family. This family, according to the sources, is called Ahl al-Bayt, i.e., “the people of the house.” This indicates that the Ahl al-Bayt and the Levites are one and the same.

According to Albanian sources, the celestial Bayt was created in Syunik-Syunik or Gelarkuni. The Torah calls Syunik “Sinai.” Another name for Syunik-Syunik was Sennar, where the Tower of Babylon was built. In the Bible, this region is also referred to as Chaldea. The Torah refers to Chaldea as the land of Gelad/Galaad, inhabited by the Median Ismailis. In Arabic sources, the land of the Ismailis, Gelad/Galaad, is called Gelat (Gulat), where the extreme Ismaili Shiites reside. In my article “Deciphering the Torah through the Language of Birds: From Adam to the Levites-Alevites”, I scientifically demonstrated that the Levites were called Alevites by the ancient Shiites (site: https://firudin.blogspot.com/2020/06/blog-post.html?m=1).

Moreover, Gelat, Chaldea, is also referred to in sources as Helat, which was the property of the Azerbaijani Atabek family. In the Torah, Gelad is associated with the city of Iazer, i.e., the country of Azera—Azerbaijan. Among the Slavs, a similar symbol is known as Kolyada, associated with the figure of Jesus Christ, who is prophesied to appear at the end of time.

The symbols Chaldea, Helat, Gelad, Kolyada, and Gelarkuni indicate that the celestial house is connected with the ancient Egyptian city of Hel. In this city, the Pharaoh-Pir Amon, in an ecstatic state known as Baka, created God, one of whose names was Asar, or Osiris. In the Torah, the symbol of Baka is represented by Jacob, who, by confronting God, received the name Israel, i.e., God Asar/Osiris. In my article “Deciphering the Torah through the Language of Birds: Whom Did Jacob Fight?”, I demonstrated how Jacob “transformed” into God Asar/Osiris (site: http://gilarbey.blogspot.com/2017/03/blog-post.html).

This demonstrates that the tribe of Levi is considered chosen because they are connected with God Asar (Osiris).

The symbol Asar in sources also appears as Azer, Khazar, Ashur, etc. In Sufism, the symbol Khazar denotes Hu-Azer, i.e., God Azer. In historical sources, the chosen Hebrews are referred to as Khazar Turkic beks, who, following the path (Tariq) of Sufism, ascended to the level of Baka and transformed into gods Asar/Osiris. Another name for Sufism, Targum, originates from the symbol Tariq.

The religion of these first gods was called Isna-Asheriya, meaning “God Asher/Asar, born on Mount Sinai.” Their book, the Torah, is mentioned in sources as Ktuv Ashuri, i.e., “Kitab Asar” or “the Book of Azer/Osiris.” In Sufism, the symbol Torah, or Torahh, also denotes “a Turk following the path of Tariq.”

From all this, it follows that the chosen Levites were Ismaili Turkic beks of the city of Gel-Gelad, the land of Iazer, i.e., Azera, Azerbaijan. They were the ones who created the celestial Bayt on Mount Sinai (Syuni), i.e., the house of God Asar/Osiris, or the “Promised Land.”

In Sufism, the symbol Bayt signifies three realms: the earthly hall of God—the city of Hel, inhabited by Levite kings; the subterranean cave of Jabarut, located beneath this earthly hall; and the celestial spiritual world of Malakut (Hebrew Malkhut), created above the earthly hall of Gel.

In ancient coins, the earthly hall of God is called Mülkə-Hu and is associated with the Jalair Shahs of Azerbaijan. The Arabic name Jalair derives from the ancient Albanian lineage of the Aranshahs—Gelar or Gelarkuni. Therefore, the earthly hall of God, referred to as Hel in ancient Egyptian sources, was the property of the Albanian Aranshah family Gelarkuni. According to sources, Jerusalem, after its construction, was renamed Hel.

This indicates that the celestial Jerusalem, or the Bayt Malakut of God, was created in the heavens above Gelarkuni.

According to Hadiths, the house of the Prophet Muhammad is also the house of his cousin Aqil (Akila), i.e., the same house of Hel. This celestial world was referred to by the Jews as God, and by extreme Shiites as the wilayat of Imam Ali. Consequently, the Levites and Ahl al-Bayt were Khazars, i.e., Azerbaijani Turkic beks.

“Leviticus” is the name of the third book of Moses, which in Talmudic literature is called Torat Kohanim, meaning “Torah of the Priests and Kohanim” in Sufism. These priest-kings descended exclusively from the line of Aaron of the tribe of Levi. Considering that the symbol Levite corresponds to Alban, and Aaron corresponds to the Albanian king Aran-Shah, it becomes clear that the Khazar Hakam-Levite were the Gelar beks of Azerbaijan. They were divinely chosen to serve in the Sanctuary as representatives of the primogeniture of the entire people.

According to the Book of Leviticus, the principal duty of the Levites-Kohanim was to oversee the timely performance of sacrifices to sustain the divine fire. Miraculously kindled, this fire was meticulously maintained. Since sacrifices were continually offered on the altar, fresh blood was always poured upon it, and the smoke of burnt offerings perpetually ascended to the heavens. It was precisely this smoke of sacrificial animals that sustained the Tabernacle, i.e., the celestial world of spirits—paradise.

The entire ritual system for this purpose was conducted by the holy Levites of Gelarkuni, i.e., the Gelar beks. Only they could enter the subterranean hall of the Tabernacle of Assembly, i.e., the cave of Jabarut, located beneath the hall of God. Only they could approach and bear the Ark of the Covenant, housed in this cave.

In Christianity, the Bayt, or house of God, was called a monastery. The monk overseeing the monastery’s affairs was called a Kelar, i.e., a Gelar Levite. From the symbols Kelar/Gelar derives the term clergy. The clergy refers to the land of the Lord, and the clerics—priests, Levites, and prophets—serve it. The land of the Clergy, or Gelar, is another name for Galilee. From ancient times, it was inhabited by the Ismaili Nizaris, known to us as the Nazarenes. And Jesus of Nazareth was called Ieshua by these Khazar Turks, meaning “O (great) Shiite.”

From all of this, it follows that from the earliest times, the Gelar beks of Gelad, in the land of Iazer—modern Azerbaijan—were divinely chosen to serve God. This holy lineage, since the creation of the “world,” served the One God of all religions and safeguarded His Bayt. In sources, this lineage of ancient Ismaili shahs was called the Gadjaras. Their country was what is now Iran, referred to as Memaliki Makhrusei Gadjar, i.e., “the Protected Land of the Gadjaras.”
