Although the Ahl-e Haqq holy books state that the fundamental beliefs of this order have existed from the outset of creation to the present time, its official founder is Soltan Eshâq (or Sahak), also known as Lord of Grace, who lived in Kurdistan in the 14th century. Soltan’s lineage traces back to Imam Musa Kazim, the 7th Shi’a Imam. His father was known as Sheykh Issi and his mother Khatoun Dayrak. (For more information, see Borhan ol-Haqq)
