Aliyites are those who follow AL-'Aliyiyyah, a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam which often incorporates elements of religious syncretism, seemingly influenced by Zoroastrianism, Yoruba African religions, and Buddhism.
Aliyite Muslims believe Imam Ali shares an essence with Jesus Christ, and that the two religious figures shared a common soul of God. Many Aliyites also believe in Orisha Ogun, and that he was one with Imam Ali.
Lots of Sweetgum Kriyul people, especially ethnic Qarsherskiyans, are Aliyites.

Aliyites are part of AL-'Aliyiyyah (Arabic: العليئية), a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam, which considers the possibility of Zarathustra and the Buddha being prophets whose message may have been corrupted over time, and many of it's followers believe in Orishas from West African religions, believing they were Islamic religious figures, and not deities. Many Aliyites believe Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib and that Imam Ali and Jesus Christ share a common essence which is the Soul of God (روح الله).
My Aliyite friend said Orisha Ogun is not a reincarnation of Imam Ali, but a continuation of the life of the first Imam, who is the first and the last (أول و أخر).
