Özet:

Druzism which emerged in the lands of Egypt under the influence of the Ismaili sect during the period of the sixth Fatimid caliph, al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, and shaped within the framework of the divinity of the al-Hakim, is accepted as a esoteric belief. The Druze have kept their beliefs for centuries in accordance with their belief in taqiyya and secrecy, and for this reason, they have been called a closed and secret community. As a result of the seizure of Druze works and researches about the sect, we have learned about Druzism, but the belief still remains a mystery today. Various studies have been carried out about Druze in our country. These studies are mostly on the history, beliefs and political events of the Druze. There is no a study in itself on music. We come across studies on music in foreign sources. In these studies, Druze music and funeral laments are mentioned. There is no specific study dealing with Druze religious music. For this reason, our article will focus on the religious music of the Druze. This study was carried out to research the religious music tradition in the Druze faith. Accordingly, by applying the scan-compilation method, one of the qualitative research methods, domestic and foreign studies on the subject were examined, and some texts related to our topic were translated into our language. In addition, interviews were made with Druze by using the interview method, and recordings of Druze religious music were attained. These sound recordings were written on note with examples from the forms. Since this study was created from our master's thesis, no notes were included and all the data we obtained in our research are presented in our article in a limited way.
