"There is only one God, Haris Almustanir. And Al-Mustanir is his prophet.
Haris Almustanir created the Heavens and Earth. All this is revealed, and all that is hidden. He remains eternal, being of neither flesh nor mortal spirit. He sees all, knows all, and is all. He loves and grants enlightenment to those who love him, but smites those who hate him.
He has revealed his knowledge to Al-Mustanir, his chosen Fam Allahab, and to Al-Mustanir alone. To him he has shone the path to enlightenment, and to 'Ard Allahab. From him did we learn of enlightenment in the Kitab Allahab.
May the flames of Haris Abba guide and protect us together, his Tari'lathir." - The Tari'lathir Montra, the primary creed of the faith.

The Faith of the Tariqat Lahab Altathir is centered on enlightenment. According to the faith, only through enlightenment can you reach 'Ard Allahab, Paradise. And to obtain enlightenment, one must devote himself to the foundation of 'Ard Allahab. The foundation is made up of the three principles: Daily Prayer, the Annual 'Cleansing of Flame', and the Ritual of Fasting in the wilderness.
The religion's followers are tended to by both the Fam Allahab himself, as well as a line of Hereditary Priests appointed by the Fam Allahab called Almutahadiths.
The religion has three main holidays: Eid Alnaar in the winter, and Hafl Alshuelat Aljadida in the spring, and Tathir Allahab.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Faith was founded in the year 1536, when Haris Almustanir gave his revelation to the Fam Allahab.
Since this time, Al-Mustanir has wandered as a traveling Prophet, starting in his homeland of the Kahdan before venturing out into new territory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The four principles of the Foundation are such:
•Daily Prayer: Prayer is to be recited three times a day. Once at Sunrise, once at Sunset, and once at Noon, the time given at which Haris Almustanir presented the mortal kinds with fire.
•The Cleansing by Fire: Each year, during the autumn season, every member of the Tari'lathir faith must under go a ceremonial cleansing by fire, also called Tathir Allahab.
•Once in their lives, every Tari'lathir must take a journey out into the wilderness. There, they must spend three days fasting. This is in honor of the Fam Allahab, and a ceremony where each individual hopes to connect with Haris Almustanir.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Along with Tathir Allahab, the Tari'lathir celebrate Eid Alnaar (the New Year Celebration), and Hafl Alshuelat Aljadida (the Spring Celebration)
