Aliyiyism

Aliyiyism, also called the Aliyite Tariqa or Aliyite Sufi Order, is a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam that traces its origins back to Sufi Muslims in Northern Nigeria as well as the Yoruba people and the Orishas, during the time of the Sokoto Caliphate.

Aliyiyism teaches that Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali, Orisha Obatallah is one with Jesus Christ, and that Jesus and Ali both are of one essence while being two different individuals.
