Who We Are

The Druze religion is a universal religion in which monotheism is the central axis. The religion is secret and is known only to a small group of members of the community called the “Okal,” while the rest of the Druze are called the “Johal”. Religion is not ritualistic but similar to neo-Platonic philosophy.

According to the Druze belief, people who lived in the time of al-Hakam Bamer Allah were given the last chance to join the Muhadun. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED. Nowadays, no one can join the Druze religion unless he was born a Druze.
