Semah kelimesi Arap\u00e7a k\u00f6kenli sem\u00e2 kelimesinden kelimenin sonundaki ay\u0131n (\u0639) harfinin Anadolu a\u011fz\u0131nda h (\u062d) harfine d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fmesiyle \u201csemah\u201d halini alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Arap dilindeki kelime anlam\u0131; dinleme, dinleti \u015feklindedir.<\/p>\n
Alevilerin ibadeti olan cem t\u00f6renlerinde Saz\/Ba\u011flama ile ses bulan m\u00fczik e\u015fli\u011finde, cinsiyet fark\u0131 g\u00f6zetilmeksizin, kad\u0131n erkek birlikte ritimlere dikkat edilerek d\u00f6n\u00fclen rit\u00fcel \u201csemah\u201d olarak adland\u0131r\u0131lmaktad\u0131r.<\/p>\n
Aleviler ve Bekta\u015f\u00eeler inan\u00e7lar\u0131n\u0131, felsefelerini, d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcncelerini, gelenek ve g\u00f6reneklerini g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fcze kadar d\u00fczenlemi\u015f olduklar\u0131 cem t\u00f6renleri ve semahlar ile ta\u015f\u0131m\u0131\u015flard\u0131r. Cemler, Alevi ve Bekta\u015f\u00ee topluluklar\u0131nda gelenek ve g\u00f6rene\u011fe dayanan din hayat\u0131n\u0131n sosyal b\u00fcnyesindeki olu\u015fumun \u00f6tesinde toplumsal, e\u011fitsel, k\u00fclt\u00fcrel ve dini boyutlar ta\u015f\u0131maktad\u0131r. Alevi ve Bekt\u00e2\u015fi dini rit\u00fcelleri ve bu dini rit\u00fcellerde yer alan, onun ayr\u0131lmaz bir par\u00e7as\u0131 olan semahlar, k\u0131rklar\u0131n cemine dayanmaktad\u0131r. Alevi yazma eserleri olan \u201cBuyruklara\u201d g\u00f6re Semah; Hz. Muhammed\u2019in k\u0131rklar meclisinde d\u00f6nd\u00fc\u011f\u00fc semah\u0131n g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fcze yans\u0131mas\u0131d\u0131r. Bele ba\u011flanan \u015fed ve t\u0131\u011fbent, Hz.

Cemleri ve cemlerde d\u00f6n\u00fclen semahlar\u0131 birbirinden ayr\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnemeyiz. Semahlar Alevi cemlerinin hangisinde olursa olsun belirli kurallar i\u00e7inde d\u00f6n\u00fcl\u00fcr ve dini bir rit\u00fceldir. S\u00f6zl\u00fc k\u00fclt\u00fcr \u00fcr\u00fcnleri olan semahlar, yaz\u0131ya ve notaya ge\u00e7irilmeden ku\u015faktan ku\u015fa\u011fa g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fcze de\u011fin gelmi\u015ftir.

Ancak gelenek gere\u011fi gizli yap\u0131lan cemler ve semahlar art\u0131k baz\u0131 \u00e7evrelerde a\u00e7\u0131k\u00e7a yap\u0131lmaya ba\u015flanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.

Alevi cemlerini ve cemlerde d\u00f6n\u00fclen semahlar\u0131 belirli kal\u0131plar i\u00e7ine sokamamak gerekir. Zira genel karakterin de\u011fi\u015fmemesi ra\u011fmen, cemler ve cemlerde d\u00f6n\u00fclen semahlar\u0131n \u015fekli y\u00f6reden y\u00f6reye farkl\u0131l\u0131k arz etmektedir. Uygulamada farkl\u0131l\u0131k olmas\u0131na ra\u011fmen verilmek istenen mesaj ve \u00f6z ayn\u0131d\u0131r. Bunu Alevi ulular\u0131 \u201cYol bir, s\u00fcrek bin bir\u201d \u00f6zdeyi\u015fi ile a\u00e7\u0131klamaktad\u0131rlar. Cemler ve semahlar kesinlikle dini bir rit\u00fceldir ve ibadet maksatl\u0131 yap\u0131l\u0131r. Semahlar, Alevi t\u00f6renlerinin hangisinde olursa olsun, kat\u0131lanlar taraf\u0131ndan belli kurallar i\u00e7erisinde uygulan\u0131r ve s\u0131k\u0131 bir d\u00fczenleri vard\u0131r. Alevi t\u00f6renlerinin ayr\u0131lmaz par\u00e7as\u0131 olan semahlar g\u00fcn\u00fcm\u00fczde, Hz. Muhammed\u2019in Mirac\u0131 s\u0131rs\u0131nda \u0130mam Ali ba\u015fkanl\u0131\u011f\u0131nda toplanan k\u0131rklar meclisinde yap\u0131lan semah\u0131 anmak i\u00e7in yap\u0131lmaktad\u0131r. Semahlarda deyi\u015fler ve nefesler e\u015fli\u011finde a\u015fkla, co\u015fkuyla d\u00f6n\u00fclmektedir. \u0130lahi a\u015fkla yap\u0131lan bu d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015fler, Hakk\u2019a ve hakikate ula\u015fmak i\u00e7indir. Semah d\u00f6nen ki\u015fi, d\u00fcnya kirinden ar\u0131nm\u0131\u015f olur. Y\u00fcz\u00fc ve kalbi nurlan\u0131r; sever, sevilir… Semah d\u00f6n\u00fcl\u00fcrken, saza ve a\u015f\u0131\u011f\u0131n okudu\u011fu nefese dikkat edilir. Semah d\u00f6nen insan cezbeye kap\u0131larak kendinden ge\u00e7er, ayaklar\u0131 yerden kesilir ve semaya do\u011fru y\u00fckselir. Burada s\u00f6z konusu olan \u015fey maddi d\u00fcnyadan vaz ge\u00e7mektir.<\/p>\n
Aleviler a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131ndan dini bir rit\u00fcel olmakla birlikte, folklorik boyutuyla T\u00fcrk k\u00fclt\u00fcr\u00fcne, halk edebiyat\u0131na, halk m\u00fczi\u011fine hizmet etmi\u015f ve etmektedirler. Baz\u0131 ara\u015ft\u0131rmac\u0131lar Alevi t\u00f6renlerinin ve semahlar\u0131n\u0131n ilk \u015fekillerinin \u0130slamiyet\u2019ten \u00f6nce var oldu\u011fu varsay\u0131m\u0131nda bulunmaktad\u0131rlar.
