The terms “Bektashi”, “Alevi” or “Kizilbas” are generally used for communities outside the Sunni belief. We see in the existing documents in the Ottoman archives that the Ottoman Empire did not recognize the Kizilbas (Alevism) as a unique belief system or an official sect. The term "Kızılbaş" or "Rafizi" was used especially for the Alevi community outside of the Sunni belief. As a result of the death of Shah Ismail, the Kizilbas living in Anatolia could not find the necessary support from Iran. As the Safavid State collapsed and the dynasty disappeared, there was no longer any connection between the Kizilbas and Iran. In this process, in the Ottoman Empire, following a policy of melting the Kizilbas in the Bektashi pot, he gave the authority to determine his lodge in the Bektashi lodges to Çelebi, who was sitting on the post in Pir House (Haci Bektaş Veli Dervish Lodge) at the beginning of the 17th century. Starting from the reign of Abdulhamid II, madrasas started to be opened in the regions where Kizilbas (Alevi) villages were located, and teachers to teach religion were sent to these areas. Although the Ottoman State did not accept the Kizilbas (Alevi) group as un-Islamic, it described their beliefs as "superstitious" and aimed to convert them from these superstitious beliefs by sending people who were described as wise teachers(common sense person) to the region.
