who are druze and how are they diffrent then muslims?

salaam alumKim
"druze"??? never heard of it.

Druze are a Muslim sect.

They are different from mainline Islam in the same way that Jehovah's Witnesses differ from mainstream Christianity.

Do you mean " druids" ?

If so, they were a 'religious ' group that Prue-dated Christianity and were based in Great Britain, and possibly originated in the northern countries of Sweden and Denmark.

There is a lot more information on WICKIEPAEDIA.
.

I have heard that some of them believe God can be present in the human form, but mostly they be live in Islamic doctrine. And they only marry other Druze usually. I do not know much about their practice they are secret like Alawis

The Druze religion is a small, old, unique, and mysterious practice. The history of the Druze is old and unlike any other religion. The religion was established around 1017 in Egypt and North Africa, when the sixth Fatimid caliph, AL-hakim bi-Amrih Allah, declared himself the incarnation of God. However, even before 1017, ideas and increase of the new religion had begun. Hamzah bin ?Ali converted Muhammad ad-Darazi, a Shi?i missionary from which the religion got its name.

Muhammed AL-Darazi preached the new religion to the people of Lebanon and was reportedly killed for letting people practice wine drinking and sexual excesses. After AL-Darazi?s death, Hamzah made new fundamentals of the new sect with the help of many others on many sacred works. In 1021, al-Hakim Hamzah was supposedly murdered, but his followers believed that he had gone into hiding and would return again for his first appearance in a thousand years. After the religion had been established, it moved into Syria and Lebanon. In 1860, a war broke out between the Druzes and the Christians. The British supported the Druze and the French supported the Christians. Over 15,000 Christians died.

The Muslim people do not consider the Druze Muslims but the Druze regard themselves as carriers of the core of the Muslim religion.
The Druze people believe in one God and claim that the qualities of God can not be understood or defined by humans. In the Druze religion, a calf is considered to be the central symbol that represents the negative forces in the world. Another symbol is the Druze star. It represents the 5 wise ministers each with his own quality.

The Druze have evolved from an Islamic atmosphere, however they have some different views. The Druze believe in reincarnation, monogamy and free will to transmit inheritance. Christianity is another religion that compares with Druze. The Druze stress the theory of evolution with respect of the three celestial religions. The Druze have tried, unsuccessfully, to rid the idea of ending in an eternal paradise or eternal hell. They also believe in fate. They believe that everyone?s lives are already planned out way ahead. They also share their belief in Jesus and his four disciples. There are a couple things that the Christians share with the Druze that the Druze do not share with the Muslims. One would be monogamy. The Druze believe in one woman for every one man. They also think sex should only be looked upon for reproduction. Even parts of this could be considered a sin. The Druze are strictly monotheists. They believe that there is only one God.

The Druze hold the Qu?ran to be sacred but looked on as an outer shell, holding ?inner esoteric meaning.? Kitab Al Hikma(The Book of Wisdom) is the book most often used. The strongly believe in instantaneous reincarnation. When one man dies, his soul goes to a baby boy being born. They believe that heaven and hell is spiritual, a complete state of mind. The people of the Druze religion are like no other. They seem to belong to many religions but are yet different. Their beliefs are similar to many but there are those few beliefs that keep them distinct. The Druze is a great religion to learn about. There is much you can learn about by basically combining three religions into one.
