The Buyruks are a collection of spiritual books providing the basis of the Alevi value system. The word buyruks in archaic Turkish means adepts.

Topics addressed in the Buyruks include Musahiplik (spiritual brotherhood) and a wide range of Alevi stories and poems among other things. The story of Hajji_Bektash_Wali is found in these books.

The Buyruks contain Qur'anic verses, sayings of Imam Ali, Ja'far as-Sadiq and the other Twelve Imams, as well as sayings and songs written by Yunus Emre, Pir Abdal Musa, Shah Ismail, etc.

[edit] Authority

The Buyruks include pillars which Dedes must uphold, and Alevis must also generally adhere to the rules put forth by them.
