The Druze are a monotheistic religious and social community, found primarily in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan.

Rooted in Ismailism, the Druze beliefs incorporate elements from Abrahamic religions, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Pythagoreanism, and other philosophies creating a distinct theology known to highlight the role of the Mind and truthfulness.

The Druze call themselves Ahl al-Tawhid "the People of Monotheism" or "the People of Unity" or al-Muwaḥḥidūn "the Unitarians".

The Druze community plays an important role in shaping the history of the Levant, particularly Lebanon, often taking on a much larger role than their demographic weight.

The Druzes are known to form a close knit and cohesive social community but also integrate fully in their adopted homelands.
