Abstract

Nasiri- Alavi cult has been one of the most mysterious phenomena of Islamic Studies in the last period. Commonly accepted views concerning this cult have been formed so much at odds with each other that it is hardly possible to endorse their commonalities. The author of the present paper has intended to collect a useful set of studies regarding the mentioned sect done by western scholars of Islamic Studies.  Hence, he tries to introduce and then briefly evaluate the content of the articles and research findings on Nasiri- Alzvi cult.
