EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enchanting Dollma Teqe, a Bektashi temple nestled in the heart of Kruje, Albania. Established in the 18th century, this sacred site holds deep historical and cultural significance for the Bektashi community, an Islamic Sufi order that originated in Anatolia and spread to the Balkans. The temple, also known as the Dollma Madrasa or the Teqe of the Virgin Mary, is a stunning example of Albanian architecture. Its exterior is adorned with intricate stone carvings and geometric designs, reflecting the rich mystical traditions of Bektashism. At the center of the temple lies a grave, believed to be the resting place of the order's founder, Haji Bektash Veli. Bektashism, a tariqat or spiritual path within Islam, is characterized by its syncretic nature, blending elements of Sufism, Shia Islam, and pre-Islamic beliefs. The order places great emphasis on love, tolerance, and the unity of all religions, making it a unique and influential spiritual tradition in the region. Despite facing persecution and suppression throughout history, the Bektashi community has managed to preserve their distinct identity and continue practicing their faith. The Dollma Teqe stands as a testament to their resilience and the enduring power of their spiritual beliefs. This photograph, taken in 1789, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of rich history and cultural diversity. The temple's exterior, with its weathered stone and intricate carvings, exudes a sense of tranquility and spirituality, inviting us to reflect on the profound impact of the Bektashi tradition on Albanian culture and beyond.
