**Four *Spiritual Stations* in Alevi tariqat:** Sharia, tariqa, haqiqa, and marifa. Marifa is considered "unseen", and is actually *the center* of the *haqiqa* region. Marifa is the essence of all four stations.

Four Doors is a concept in Sufism and in branches of Islam heavily influenced by Sufism such as Isma'ilism and Alevism. In this system, there are four paths to God, starting with Sharia, then to Tariqa, then to Marifa, and then finally to Haqiqa.

In Alevism, ten stations are listed for each of the Foor Doors. Hence, in full, the Four Doors are also known as the Four Doors and Forty Stations (Turkish: Dört Kapı Kırk Makam). These Forty Stations are listed below.^[1]
