Glad to have found this channel, academic style religious discussion seems to be a very niche subject on RUclips. I wish you all the best with your channel and its future growth.
Great work...! I have some questions plz any one clarify !! 1, In April which day they celebrate New year. 2, Any Muslims or Cristina community will light up using same type of lamp on that day. 3, In which part of Asia Peacock habitats ruclips.net/video/AHXLkDVnAuI/видео.html
@@praveencad1 Hello Pravin I know they celebrate on 21st March. Its a day of Spring Equinox. same as Navroz in Zorastrians. Do you know they have tri-coloured flag just like Indian flag. On the centre of the flag they have Sun symbol having 21 spokes of rays. I think this is could be their Devine no. No. 21 is auspicious according to Vedic traditions. They are the only people in the western Asia who have Sun symbol on their flag in-place of Moon Crescent. That separate them from Islamic traditions.
As a Kurdish Ezidi, I thank you for the video! Yes, we as Yezidis believe in the oneness of God, and many people outside the religion don't know about that which is sad.
It's actually the show's "theme song" which, for whatever reason, he didn't play and instead chose to sing. It made me lol. Every other episode has that song, but an actual recording of it.

Indians claims everything is theirs yazidisim is different religion have some similarities with Hinduism and old traditional europian and middle eastern religions because old religiouns worshipped natural things and idol but that doesn't mean they are same also marriying a non yazidi is not allowed in yazidisimm.some muslims also claim they are similar because of monotheism infact yazidisim is more similar to abrahamic religions than Hinduism but that doesn't mean all are same
@@sameerakannamkotte69 Because Hinduism in itself isn't a religion and the Dharma, faith or way of life as they call it goes back by some estimates 8000 to 12000 years and has been influenced by all the pre-historic non-abrahmic culture, faiths and ways of lives that existed and were later ruined by the organised Abrahmic cults and wars and other natural calamities. Even Indians have not been able to keep their true tradition and knowledge of past intact. It's there in bits and pieces only but still they are closest to their ancient roots.
@@iamyou8994 I respectively disagree with you. Sanatanism was the faith of the Indo-Aryan people group which was in it's origin Monotheistic. Later this Indian regional faith became Polytheistic overtime. Then Zartosht or Zoroaster appears where is understands that the Aryan faith system is being ruined by the Indo-Aryan stock as a result the Devas in Sanatanism became Evil gods in Zartosht's ideology & Ahura/Asuras became Evil gods in Sanatanism ideology. Still we see Zoroastrianism projects Dualistic of deputized polytheistic tendency as stated by Nora Elizabeth Mary Boyce, the renowned British intellectual of Zoroastrianism. Hence Abraham from the Semitic stock enters the battle field. Remember fair skinned Aryans are Japhetic people so Allah/Ellai/Elohim rightfully said that the Sons of Japhetics will be in forefront of civilization & ideological advancements of Human race still they will be devoid of the original spirit of their Creator. Thus the seeds of Abraham a.k.a Isaac & Ishmael progenitions are given the duty firmly establish Allah's original way on earth among humans. 12,000 year old Sanatanism and 3,400 year old Zoroastrianism does not de-legitimize or question marks Abrahamic faith systems, but it actually adds more feathers of truth & blessings to the fact that Allah did actually sent messengers among all racial people of the earth; but for some reason they dislodged themselves from the true path thus needing the Semitic stock to bring them back.
@@shamiromrimmoy5964 Allah sending anything is not a fact but a belief. That’s what you believe, it’s not a fact since Allahs existence itself is a fantasy, it’s not proved. Your entire comment stinks of Genocidal tendencies, of replacing everyone with the the Semitic stock. Stop spreading hatred.
I have to admit to my appreciation of the level of scholarly professionalism and how well-spoken you are, as well as the casual formality of these presentations. Thank you.
@@donlove3741 not when you take a close look as Islamic/Muslim history. There were in the past, as there have been recently with Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), extreme militant groups within the religion, but they are not the majority of Muslims. They were not the majority of Muslims during the Golden Age and they weren't during the age of the first unified empire. The media likes to lie and act like that isn't so for propaganda purposes. I have two doctorates, one in theology and another in theological history. Learning to gain tolerance of other peoples and religions has been common practice for more than half of the sects, large and small, within Islam, since the original ideological and lineage recognition splits created Islamic denominations in the first place.
@@TheImano My question is that -- if Malek taus is one of the special or elite angel, then we focus on Lord. So, with this Yajidi theory, there is a lord same as others religious Lord. Then why Lord loses main focus and U Yajidi pray to Malek taus, instead of Lord?!! In many Muslims countries ( 56 countries ) there's many different types of religion live with harmony and safe. Diversity and harmony is their pride. Muslim countries has sufficient oil -- petroleum. So, they don't interested to apply bad politics or conspiracy to change others government!!??
Specifically Murugan sect of Sanatana Dharma, their highest religious Sheikh has agreed they are part of Sanatana Dharma and worshipped at the Murugan Temple in Washington DC.
@Sensai ... You have wrong information (or just heresy) .. In hinduism there is only one god( and more clearly there is only god,nothing else). Which you are calling "GODS" are deities which are manifestations of that supreme god. Try to learn sanatan dharma..

Hello Rock hearts, his heart goes to muslims also if they suffered like the yazidis. Taken as slaves etc. But that didn happen for syrians or other muslims. They were just occupying lands and killing who offended daesh. Yazidis it was much worse. So just liquify ur rock hearts. We are with Lions(Bashar, MBZ, Putin) and Yazidis and Iran aswell. They fought Daesh. You are fighting against those who support yezdis online as well.
@@msr5160 i don't think you lie, but it is very clear that : you don't know ANYTHING about what Muslims ( not only in Syria of course ! ) have suffered under daesh. Millions of them displaced, thousands killed, thrown into streets, whole villages burned etc etc etc....or you are not interested in what happens to other people.
Muslims must READ READ READ to understand their environment. The fanaticism in the Muslim world is because of intellectual deficiency. Muslims must READ widely and open their horizons in understanding what is going on so far.
@@baruasafi5880 why Muslims particualry have to do that? An other question, is that implying only muslims don't know about the all other religions and non muslims do ? I'm not assuming you said that so that's why I'm asking

When I first heard the name Yazidi, I wondered if it had any connection with the Iranian city of Yazd, which is the current center of Zoroastrian practices in Iran. I heard that they keep a perpetual sacred fire burning there. You did not comment on the many pictures of fire in your video. Is there any connection?
Yezidism it seems, are that with the followers of God who didnt folow Moses and Israel as a covenant. The one God was followed before Abraham and the people of Israel. And I think Yezidism comes from that, it predates sumerian pantheons. ruclips.net/video/N2av-xdtMwY/видео.html I'd love it if you came to chat on my channel.
Brother what you are doing is something so great and beautiful. Love you for that.. i watched almost your 80% lectures and they are full of knowledge and wisdom.
Wonderful! I see perhaps some small similarities between the Zoroastrians and Yazidi in the use of light as a way to worship God. Zoroastrians have sacred fires. How lovely! Beautiful religion. I would love to worship with them some day.
Great video, just like all the other ones on your channel! This is the first time I've heard anything about the origin of the Yazidi religion. I always assumed it to have originated in the prehistoric era.
@Ben Archer Ben Archer, thank you for that information. I wonder if the named Angels of Judaism (and later Christianity and Islam) entered from the Babylonian culture(s). The Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) was written after the Jews returned from the Babylonian captivity (6th century BC). There is no angel named in these five books. The first time an angel is named in the Old Testament is Daniel 8:16 - 'Gabriel' - which is an alternative spelling of Çibrayil. The book of Daniel may have been written around the fourth century BC. I would be very interested in knowing the etymology of each of the names of the seven angels of Yazidi faith.
You are a beacon lighting in the darkness, knowing that all those who seek the light are unfortunately always the same people., Salutations and appreciations for your valuable efforts, Thank you.
Great video, as I've come to expect from this channel. Thanks so much for your intelligent, informed, and reflective videos. I find them very calming, not only informative.
Hello! I'm a Muslim from Indonesia and i recently found your channel and immediately love it! I love learning about theology outside of Islam's and your channel has helped me understand them!

The islam is made to invade other countries convert or kill them and spread the words about there 1600 year old fake god alla. Inside kabba makka madina lies 360 different idols of Hindus and Buddist which they bury after killing the people. Even written in Quran that they have to destroy India by Invations
It was narrated that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will free from the Fire: The group that invades India, and the group that will be with 'Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him.' Sunan an-Nasa'i 3175 It was narrated that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger
Hello!,I absolutely love to see that our religion is known to others despite our low numbers and I really thank you for making this awesome video. As an Ezidi/Yazidi I would like to put some points to make things less confusing: 1-Ezidism is called Ezidism not Yazidism the word Yazidi came after what the Arabs called us and Ezid means God Ezidi means worshipper of God. 2-Ezidism was not called Ezidism nor Yazidism it was called Dasni,and the Arabic caliphate has described kurds living in north Mesopotamia resisting them by the name Dasni,which later changed their name officially to Ezidi that can be seen in the rebellion done by Jafar Dasni and the الداسنية as described by Arabs meaning they already had a king and a system working,this debunks the idea of Ezidism being made by Adi Ibn Musafir and or Yazid Ibn Muawia. 3-While marriage is not allowed between castes it is believed some are from Godly blood which is similar to those ancient Mesopotamian believes 4-And finally the writing was not forbidden,it was in fact forced on the royal class and was optional to the rest due to high persecution and the kurdish language of the Ezidis it lead to them being isolated. Thanks and I hope you get a bigger channel in the future❤❤
Would be interested in learning more about this religion from some with experience in the practice. Let me know if you would have the time for some questions
this narrator on yazidism is highly articulate & describes uszidism in a very clear manner but i’m left wandering the aim of yazidism faith. as the Abrahamic relions aim is to worship one creator a part 2 would be warmly welcomed going in depth with their religious aims facing towards the sun to pray do they worship the sun i found this fascinating
Brilliant absolutely brilliant..this is packed with so much research and valuable information..I’ve been searching for your kind of site for ages. Will certainly incorporate in my classes thank you so much🙏👏
@RedEyeOf Jupiter no terrorists are not my brothers and sisters , stop spitting bullshit, Daesh is a terrorist organization and will never represent islam in anyway
I really love this channel, it give me an more in depth view of religion's and i should learn all of the religion's and get to know what the absolute finest concept of god is, i get that i have my answer in islam as born muslim but i want to know what the Christian perspective and this channel has my answer to the question So yeah, superb content you are delivering

Hindu civilisation is the oldest in the world so its only obvious that had influence on many cultures and languages. Exact parallels can be drawn between the Hindu mythology gods and Greek mythology gods. The languages, the science , its really fascinating to read how the knowledge went from the Hindu civilisation towards the west and east and transformed into many new things along the course of history.
I find it lamentable that they, like many Sufis, are treated terribly because their beliefs are different from others. May God soften hard hearts so that Divine Justice be tempered by Divine Mercy. Their music sounds very delightful.
Lol dude shut the hell up about Sufism. Your western peaceful lovey dovey nonsense isn't most Sufism. Did you know there are Sufi Jihadist groups? Did you know Taliban are Sufi's? Did u know ISIS was allied with an iraqi sunni sufi jihadist group Fighting USA armny and in 2014 the sufi jihadist group pledged total allegiance to ISIS?
I'm Muslim. I have no idea of all these sects until 20yrs ago. Wahabi, Sunni, Shia, Ahmadi. Some are only know to me few yrs back. Never really bothered much. Anyway, minimally to be a Muslim, you have to hold on to the 6 pillars of faith followed by 5 pillar of Islam. But of course, if I were to see or heard things like contractual marriage even for 1 day, I'd freak out and wonder is that even Islamic?
Thanks for sharing with us your great research! Yazidism seems to me presenting more of an esoteric branch of combined Zoroastrianism and mystic sects of a certain Abrahamic religion similar to those Kabbalist and Druze.
FYI the 'X'of Xwedê ( 3:04 )is not pronounced the way you pronounced it, but as the hard 'ch' from the Scottish 'Loch', it is a phonetic phenomenon that is made in the back of the throat. Keep up the good work!
The correct pronunciation of "Xwede" is kho-de!!! I am from Kurdistan Region. Excellent work :) By the way, your Arabic pronunciation is really good, are you from an Arab descent? Each caste can only marry from the same caste (i,e sheiks from sheiks and Pirs from Pirs)
I like the way your present your videos. Historical info, how it affects their lives in the modern world, etc. Well Done. I learn about people I have never heard of before. Keep up your good work.
@Detective kool Abraham and Saar seem to have alot of similarity with Brahma and Saraswati. However, I was pointing to the fact that Kartikeya isn't the only deity that has a peacock as a vahan, as Saraswati ALSO has a peacock as a vahan. In my opinion I think the Yazidi faith is a combination of Abrah amic religions Babylonian religions and Indo/Iran religions ( Hinduism and Zoroastrianism). That's why I do think it has to do more with Brahma than with Murugan... but as I said it's just an opinion.
Yes.. You are right, YAZH was ancient musical String Instrument which was familiar at the time of Lord Muruga/Karthikeya/Subramanya/Shanmuga.. From where all the srting instrument starting from Veena.....till guitar originated.. Not only Peacock, even Rooster was the companion of lord Muruga(Karthikeya), still in some part of Balochistan they call Murga for Rooster..
Well in this case the peacock is not some vehicle/ companion Of a god, it's just the icon or representations of their most revered Angel ..why especially peacock? Because peacock was considered an immortal bird hence related it with immortal being like an angel and plus Hinduism dosent have Adam in their origin story ..
Looks like a mix of Zoroastrianism, Sanathan Dharma and Sufism with a dash of Islam thrown in to save their skin. The temples and peacock are so Indian. 🙏
The Turkic word for peafowl is Hindi. They thought Turkey, the bird, is related to peafowl and called it Hindi. In fact, many believe Alexander is a derivative of Al-skanda..
It's look like they are part of Hinduism. Recarnation, they use oil lamps, peacock is Saivaties God Murugan's like vehicle and they have seven Angeles in their stories and temples, of course Lord Sun
@Kailash Chaudharymost of the stories from Tamil were stolen by North and in North you call by different name. There is are lot of stories about Murugan. How he evolved Tamil and so on ..
@@peterparker-pl8wt Yes you are correct...All gods are ot Tamils and all stories are of North Indian sanatani's. Tamils followed Aaseevagam . Which was destroyed by the Aryan invasion. Watch Tamil Chinthanaiyalar Peravai channel in you tube for more information. Kindly watch from beginning for better understanding.
@@peterparker-pl8wt they are an Iranic people, do u understand what that means? If not, look it up! Why do U bring up the word Islamist!? I didn’t mention that word! I am Iranian and they are part of my people group, u don’t need to teach me about them! They have nothing to do with Indians hahahaha u wish lol
@@nagato7169 Bhimrao ambedkar himself said Aryan migration belongs in the trash and that it is fake,I'm a south indian BTW,what if later someone else says that us south Indians are from Indonesia and Malaysia cuz we look like the people there?,or northeast Indians are from south China and southeast Asia cuz they look like the people there?The so called Aryans are actually from india
As a Hindu, I can relate. Adi in Sanskrit means ancient. So Sheikh Adi, or the ancient learned, is like Adi Shankaracharya. Adviya must be derived from Advait, which means there is only one supreme that resides in everything. Yezidis worship fire, have a caste system that has become rigid over time, has a significant place for gurus or the learned people. They also worship Peacock, which is associated with Lord Murugan. Lord Murugan is the God, and his most beloved servant is the Peacock. There is no concept of conversion in Hinduism. . You can follow any god or be an atheist, but you still remain a Hindu. Similarly, ancient Hindu knowledge was not written but passed on from one generation to another generation through voice. But in a much more organized way. So many relations with Hinduism cannot be coincidental. Just like the Roma community in some parts of Europe find their roots in India and still maintain some level of culture, I am sure Yazidis are another branch of Hinduism. One of their religious leaders had been to India and prayed in Lord Murugan temple.
Interesting video. Just for future references: the Kurdish 'x' is pronounced as the ch in 'Loch' :'). If you see a letter with a 'hat' ( ^ ) on it, you have to say the letter long (you have to stress the vowel).
I don't know if you have done a video on the Assyrians. I think a indepth video on how they adopted Christianity, maybe the difference between the Assyrians and the Chaldeans, how much the religion is intertwined with the culture, and their persecutionas a Christian minority in the Middle East? Would be an awesome video as all your videos are🙂
Xwedê isn't pronounced as SHwede, it's pronounced as Khwade which means God in Kurdish language...as a Muslim Kurdish I really thank you for this video about our people and all other your useful videos 👍🤍
I have a recollection of Mansur al-Hallaj's (d.922 c.e.) Kitab al-Tawasin becoming popular among Yezidis for the similar interpretation of Iblis refusing to bow to any other than God, but I am unsure if I'm remembering correctly. I know this was also the position of Ahmed al-Ghazali who took on Shaykh 'Adi as a disciple (see Garnik S. Asatrian, Victoria Arakelova. The Religion of the Peacock Angel. Routledge, 2014: 37). Did you come across this connection to Hallaj in your research? I love your videos, thanks for sharing your research!
Hello everyone, I'm an Indian Hindu, wanna share something very typical. Last night I saw a typical dream and I was unable to understand it's meaning but today I don't know what generated curiosity to know about Yazidis and I started searching videos about Yazidis. I found that so many things of my dream are visible in the videos I saw. I got more curious to explore Connection of Yazidis with our Hindu Sanatan Dharma (Religion). I'll be thankful if I can connect with some Yazidi who understands English language please 🙏 God bless everyone with inner happiness 🙏 Om 🕉️🙏
Another way is that you click my youtube account. There're 1 or 2 videos. Considering privacy, you can initially contact me and we can share our whatsapp numbers
No matter what your religion or belief is, people have a right to live in peace and no other religion should dictate on them. Long live the Yazidis and their religion.
Hi! Im yezdi and i just wanted to correct some of the informations that you are presenting! We do NOT believe in reincarnation, we belive in heaven and hell. We DO have religious books and text but unfortunately very very few of them left because daesh burned them!
Very informative, thanks! one question is why did Muslims and Christian consider them devil worshippers if there is an idea within some sufi circles that Satan was one of the pure monotheist, that he loved God so much that he refuses to bow down in front of anyone?
I wanted to add this point to the video. The Yazidi view of Melek Taus as a hero for refusing to bow to Adam is as you say a rather common view among some Sufis regarding Iblis. It makes sense if you consider the idea that Yazidism (at least post-middle ages) stems from a Sufi order, so the idea probably comes directly from there. I chose to leave this out of the video as it could be interpreted to confirm the idea that Melek Taus is equivalent to the devil, and as it is a very complicated and nuanced subject I didn't want to cause any more confusion. To answer your question, this idea among the Sufis was also highly criticized by some other Muslims (and I assume Christians too). In the case of the Yazidis I think it's been used more as a justification for social and political anxieties to highlight their "otherness", which made it more controversial than when Sufis claimed basically the same thing. I think another difference could be that Melek Taus is a point of reverence much more than Iblis is in Sufi circles, even if they hold this view. So whereas those Sufis are seen as "Muslims who have a wacky idea about Iblis" the Yazidis give him a much more important role as a point of semi-worship, which would be more controversial.
@@LetsTalkReligionhe way I understood it, the Yazidis know that God is good and they don’t worry about him so they pray to the Devil (Melek Taus aka King Peacock) to appease him so that he won’t do bad things to them.
I don't know about yarsnasim, but shabacks are an ethnic group in mousil, they are mostly shia muslim, ali illahisim are an religious group in diyala iraq, they whorship ali ibn abi talib.
The video is great as an yazidi I really thank you and would like to note that yazidies are much more ancient than 12th century as being said in your video 5:32( yazidism enters the world stage in the 12th century )
Milan Kalo24 well there's a dispute as to wether it's mostly traditional Kurdish beliefs with a Sufi flare or just Sufism gone wild which would make it not ancient, but people aren't sure
Ezdis, or Yazdis DO have two sacred books called “Jilwa” and “Mashafa Rash” which the latter means “The Black Book” They do NOT believe in reincarnation. Xwede simply means God, or Lord. And the X is pronounced as German CH as in BACH. Anyway, thank you for your contents, I enjoy them immensely. Kudos to you.

I so agree! I have often wondered about the Yazidi people and their beliefs.
A beautifully told account of their faith. Thank you!
Great video ...BUT... so darn irritating at the end with the attempt at, whatever the heck was it? Stop.
Glad to have found this channel, academic style religious discussion seems to be a very niche subject on RUclips. I wish you all the best with your channel and its future growth.
Yes there are very few of us! Glad you found your way here.
Great work...!
I have some questions plz any one clarify !!
1, In April which day they celebrate New year.
2, Any Muslims or Cristina community will light up using same type of lamp on that day.
3, In which part of Asia Peacock habitats

@@praveencad1 Hello Pravin I know they celebrate on 21st March. Its a day of Spring Equinox. same as Navroz in Zorastrians. Do you know they have tri-coloured flag just like Indian flag. On the centre of the flag they have Sun symbol having 21 spokes of rays. I think this is could be their Devine no. No. 21 is auspicious according to Vedic traditions. They are the only people in the western Asia who have Sun symbol on their flag in-place of Moon Crescent. That separate them from Islamic traditions.

You did not mention how astoundingly similar their religious practices are to the Indian Sanatan Hinduism and to some extent Zartoshtanity.
Indians claims everything is theirs yazidisim is different religion have some similarities with Hinduism and old traditional europian and middle eastern religions because old religiouns worshipped natural things and idol but that doesn't mean they are same also marriying a non yazidi is not allowed in yazidisimm.some muslims also claim they are similar because of monotheism infact yazidisim is more similar to abrahamic religions than Hinduism but that doesn't mean all are same
@@sameerakannamkotte69 Because Hinduism in itself isn't a religion and the Dharma, faith or way of life as they call it goes back by some estimates 8000 to 12000 years and has been influenced by all the pre-historic non-abrahmic culture, faiths and ways of lives that existed and were later ruined by the organised Abrahmic cults and wars and other natural calamities. Even Indians have not been able to keep their true tradition and knowledge of past intact. It's there in bits and pieces only but still they are closest to their ancient roots.
Well said chori
@@iamyou8994 I respectively disagree with you. Sanatanism was the faith of the Indo-Aryan people group which was in it's origin Monotheistic. Later this Indian regional faith became Polytheistic overtime.
Then Zartosht or Zoroaster appears where is understands that the Aryan faith system is being ruined by the Indo-Aryan stock as a result the Devas in Sanatanism became Evil gods in Zartosht's ideology & Ahura/Asuras became Evil gods in Sanatanism ideology. Still we see Zoroastrianism projects Dualistic of deputized polytheistic tendency as stated by Nora Elizabeth Mary Boyce, the renowned British intellectual of Zoroastrianism.
Hence Abraham from the Semitic stock enters the battle field. Remember fair skinned Aryans are Japhetic people so Allah/Ellai/Elohim rightfully said that the Sons of Japhetics will be in forefront of civilization & ideological advancements of Human race still they will be devoid of the original spirit of their Creator. Thus the seeds of Abraham a.k.a Isaac & Ishmael progenitions are given the duty firmly establish Allah's original way on earth among humans.
12,000 year old Sanatanism and 3,400 year old Zoroastrianism does not de-legitimize or question marks Abrahamic faith systems, but it actually adds more feathers of truth & blessings to the fact that Allah did actually sent messengers among all racial people of the earth; but for some reason they dislodged themselves from the true path thus needing the Semitic stock to bring them back.
@@shamiromrimmoy5964 Allah sending anything is not a fact but a belief. That’s what you believe, it’s not a fact since Allahs existence itself is a fantasy, it’s not proved. Your entire comment stinks of Genocidal tendencies, of replacing everyone with the the Semitic stock. Stop spreading hatred.
Thanks again, your way of explaining helps us to understand our belief origins and why we are divided instead of unified😢

I'm Muslim and I studied many religions and I'm amazed with this guy's knowledge
I agree with you bro, as muslim we have to learn and understand more about other religions in order to practice the toleration.
@@TheImano funny..
@@donlove3741 not when you take a close look as Islamic/Muslim history. There were in the past, as there have been recently with Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), extreme militant groups within the religion, but they are not the majority of Muslims. They were not the majority of Muslims during the Golden Age and they weren't during the age of the first unified empire. The media likes to lie and act like that isn't so for propaganda purposes. I have two doctorates, one in theology and another in theological history. Learning to gain tolerance of other peoples and religions has been common practice for more than half of the sects, large and small, within Islam, since the original ideological and lineage recognition splits created Islamic denominations in the first place.
@@TheImano so much tolerance. Yazidi are facing it
@@TheImano My question is that -- if Malek taus is one of the special or elite angel, then we focus on Lord. So, with this Yajidi theory, there is a lord same as others religious Lord. Then why Lord loses main focus and U Yajidi pray to Malek taus, instead of Lord?!!
In many Muslims countries ( 56 countries ) there's many different types of religion live with harmony and safe. Diversity and harmony is their pride.

Their beliefs system , temples, peacock , reincarnation etc are close to Indian approach...!
Specifically Murugan sect of Sanatana Dharma, their highest religious Sheikh has agreed they are part of Sanatana Dharma and worshipped at the Murugan Temple in Washington DC.
@Sensai lol ,they are dharmic they are tolerant ,even buddhists ,jains and sikhism follows one god but they are tolerant and dharmic
@Sensai ... You have wrong information (or just heresy) .. In hinduism there is only one god( and more clearly there is only god,nothing else). Which you are calling "GODS" are deities which are manifestations of that supreme god. Try to learn sanatan dharma..
I agree, i dont believe they came before dharma, their original concept goes back to mesopotamia, before indian civilization.
Its probably the other way round

When I first heard the name Yazidi, I wondered if it had any connection with the Iranian city of Yazd, which is the current center of Zoroastrian practices in Iran. I heard that they keep a perpetual sacred fire burning there. You did not comment on the many pictures of fire in your video. Is there any connection?
i also agree with ur point.
No
Yezidism it seems, are that with the followers of God who didnt folow Moses and Israel as a covenant. The one God was followed before Abraham and the people of Israel. And I think Yezidism comes from that, it predates sumerian pantheons.

Probably it originated after hallaj
@Ben Archer Ben Archer, thank you for that information.
I wonder if the named Angels of Judaism (and later Christianity and Islam) entered from the Babylonian culture(s).
The Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) was written after the Jews returned from the Babylonian captivity (6th century BC). There is no angel named in these five books. The first time an angel is named in the Old Testament is Daniel 8:16 - 'Gabriel' - which is an alternative spelling of Çibrayil. The book of Daniel may have been written around the fourth century BC.
I would be very interested in knowing the etymology of each of the names of the seven angels of Yazidi faith.

Hello!,I absolutely love to see that our religion is known to others despite our low numbers and I really thank you for making this awesome video. As an Ezidi/Yazidi I would like to put some points to make things less confusing:
1-Ezidism is called Ezidism not Yazidism the word Yazidi came after what the Arabs called us and Ezid means God Ezidi means worshipper of God.
2-Ezidism was not called Ezidism nor Yazidism it was called Dasni,and the Arabic caliphate has described kurds living in north Mesopotamia resisting them by the name Dasni,which later changed their name officially to Ezidi that can be seen in the rebellion done by Jafar Dasni and the الداسنية as described by Arabs meaning they already had a king and a system working,this debunks the idea of Ezidism being made by Adi Ibn Musafir and or Yazid Ibn Muawia.
3-While marriage is not allowed between castes it is believed some are from Godly blood which is similar to those ancient Mesopotamian believes
4-And finally the writing was not forbidden,it was in fact forced on the royal class and was optional to the rest due to high persecution and the kurdish language of the Ezidis it lead to them being isolated. Thanks and I hope you get a bigger channel in the future❤❤

No, It's absolutely not a branch of Zoroastrianism lol, there's too many pre-Abrahamic elements in Yezidism that differ a LOT from Zoroastrianism

In india , there's a god called kartikeya who had a peacock companion too. Lord Kartikeya is son of lord shiva and brother to lord Ganesha
Saraswati as well:) She is the companion of lord Brahma= Abrahamic ...
@Detective kool Abraham and Saar seem to have alot of similarity with Brahma and Saraswati. However, I was pointing to the fact that Kartikeya isn't the only deity that has a peacock as a vahan, as Saraswati ALSO has a peacock as a vahan. In my opinion I think the Yazidi faith is a combination of Abrah
amic religions Babylonian religions and Indo/Iran religions ( Hinduism and Zoroastrianism). That's why I do think it has to do more with Brahma than with Murugan... but as I said it's just an opinion.
They are an Iranic people.
Yes.. You are right, YAZH was ancient musical String Instrument which was familiar at the time of Lord Muruga/Karthikeya/Subramanya/Shanmuga.. From where all the srting instrument starting from Veena.....till guitar originated..
Not only Peacock, even Rooster was the companion of lord Muruga(Karthikeya), still in some part of Balochistan they call Murga for Rooster..
Well in this case the peacock is not some vehicle/ companion Of a god, it's just the icon or representations of their most revered Angel ..why especially peacock? Because peacock was considered an immortal bird hence related it with immortal being like an angel and plus Hinduism dosent have Adam in their origin story ..
Thank you for the presentation. It is well done and very informative.
Looks like a mix of Zoroastrianism, Sanathan Dharma and Sufism with a dash of Islam thrown in to save their skin. The temples and peacock are so Indian. 🙏
Skanda, son of Shiva, is the greatest military commander in Indian mythology. He never bowed down to anyone. Peacock is his symbol.
The Turkic word for peafowl is Hindi. They thought Turkey, the bird, is related to peafowl and called it Hindi. In fact, many believe Alexander is a derivative of Al-skanda..

@@sowdha79 South Indian means what is ur surname.
As a Hindu, I can relate. Adi in Sanskrit means ancient. So Sheikh Adi, or the ancient learned, is like Adi Shankaracharya. Adviya must be derived from Advait, which means there is only one supreme that resides in everything. Yezidis worship fire, have a caste system that has become rigid over time, has a significant place for gurus or the learned people. They also worship Peacock, which is associated with Lord Murugan. Lord Murugan is the God, and his most beloved servant is the Peacock. There is no concept of conversion in Hinduism. . You can follow any god or be an atheist, but you still remain a Hindu. Similarly, ancient Hindu knowledge was not written but passed on from one generation to another generation through voice. But in a much more organized way. So many relations with Hinduism cannot be coincidental. Just like the Roma community in some parts of Europe find their roots in India and still maintain some level of culture, I am sure Yazidis are another branch of Hinduism. One of their religious leaders had been to India and prayed in Lord Murugan temple.

I have a recollection of Mansur al-Hallaj's (d.922 c.e.) Kitab al-Tawasin becoming popular among Yezidis for the similar interpretation of Iblis refusing to bow to any other than God, but I am unsure if I'm remembering correctly. I know this was also the position of Ahmed al-Ghazali who took on Shaykh 'Adi as a disciple (see Garnik S. Asatrian, Victoria Arakelova. The Religion of the Peacock Angel. Routledge, 2014: 37).
Did you come across this connection to Hallaj in your research?
I love your videos, thanks for sharing your research!
Thank you. Your videos are so interesting and informative. I an happy to subscribe to your channel.
Hello everyone, I'm an Indian Hindu, wanna share something very typical.
Last night I saw a typical dream and I was unable to understand it's meaning but today I don't know what generated curiosity to know about Yazidis and I started searching videos about Yazidis.
I found that so many things of my dream are visible in the videos I saw.
I got more curious to explore Connection of Yazidis with our Hindu Sanatan Dharma (Religion).
I'll be thankful if I can connect with some Yazidi who understands English language please 🙏
God bless everyone with inner happiness 🙏
Om 🕉️🙏

Hello dear, hope you must be doing well. Nice to hear from you.
How can we directly connect ?
Can we share our e-mail IDs and can share our whatsapp numbers for further communication ?
Another way is that you click my youtube account. There're 1 or 2 videos.
Considering privacy, you can initially contact me and we can share our whatsapp numbers
A religion celebrated and perpetuated only by oral tradition builds incredibly resilient families and communities. Another great lesson, thank you.
No matter what your religion or belief is, people have a right to live in peace and no other religion should dictate on them. Long live the Yazidis and their religion.
Huge admirable effort, I wish I can see an Egyptian makes an effort like this, thank you
Same
Hi! Im yezdi and i just wanted to correct some of the informations that you are presenting! We do NOT believe in reincarnation, we belive in heaven and hell. We DO have religious books and text but unfortunately very very few of them left because daesh burned them!
Can you please tell me more about your believes and thoughts .
Hi, can you tell me does the yazidis have any connection with yazid ibn muwayia? I’m just saying because of the name.
Sheikh Adi.. who is he???
You should amplify the book which is left
@@humblebee8334 no there is not any connections
Very informative, thanks!
one question is why did Muslims and Christian consider them devil worshippers if there is an idea within some sufi circles that Satan was one of the pure monotheist, that he loved God so much that he refuses to bow down in front of anyone?
I wanted to add this point to the video. The Yazidi view of Melek Taus as a hero for refusing to bow to Adam is as you say a rather common view among some Sufis regarding Iblis. It makes sense if you consider the idea that Yazidism (at least post-middle ages) stems from a Sufi order, so the idea probably comes directly from there.
I chose to leave this out of the video as it could be interpreted to confirm the idea that Melek Taus is equivalent to the devil, and as it is a very complicated and nuanced subject I didn't want to cause any more confusion.
To answer your question, this idea among the Sufis was also highly criticized by some other Muslims (and I assume Christians too). In the case of the Yazidis I think it's been used more as a justification for social and political anxieties to highlight their "otherness", which made it more controversial than when Sufis claimed basically the same thing. I think another difference could be that Melek Taus is a point of reverence much more than Iblis is in Sufi circles, even if they hold this view.
So whereas those Sufis are seen as "Muslims who have a wacky idea about Iblis" the Yazidis give him a much more important role as a point of semi-worship, which would be more controversial.
@@LetsTalkReligion I see, that explains it! Thanks for the reply.
I think the Satan refused to bow down to other people,s God. Their lies the difference.
@@LetsTalkReligionhe way I understood it, the Yazidis know that God is good and they don’t worry about him so they pray to the Devil (Melek Taus aka King Peacock) to appease him so that he won’t do bad things to them.
Your channel is so educational you doing an amazing job thank you very much
This is a really interesting and informative video! Also, I like the song at the end. 🥰🥰
This outro is world class, you should end all the videos with it.
Wait, why did you do the end credits a capella? What happened to your Oud?
I am curious also about Yarsanism, Shabackism and Ali-Illahism.
I don't know about yarsnasim, but shabacks are an ethnic group in mousil, they are mostly shia muslim, ali illahisim are an religious group in diyala iraq, they whorship ali ibn abi talib.
Love this. My first love topic. Thank you so much.
Greetings to the Yazidis and Kurds, the most merciful and pure people of the Middle East.
The video is great as an yazidi I really thank you and would like to note that yazidies are much more ancient than 12th century as being said in your video 5:32( yazidism enters the world stage in the 12th century )
Milan Kalo24 well there's a dispute as to wether it's mostly traditional Kurdish beliefs with a Sufi flare or just Sufism gone wild which would make it not ancient, but people aren't sure
We are sure. the things that man added to our religion are very little compared with the whole religion before him
Ezdis, or Yazdis DO have two sacred books called “Jilwa” and “Mashafa Rash” which the latter means “The Black Book”
They do NOT believe in reincarnation.
Xwede simply means God, or Lord. And the X is pronounced as German CH as in BACH.
Anyway, thank you for your contents, I enjoy them immensely. Kudos to you.
Anyone else love the scat version of the outro music as much as I did? He’s really good at that!
As informative and fascinating as are all your talks. Thank you.
We have Adı Sankarachariya n they have Sheikh Adı..
Too many coincidence.. ❤️
Yes, an Indian Hindu who lived in the 8th century is related to a Lebanese Muslim who lived in the 10th century.
stop with this bullsh*t i was a hindu myself , there is no way how someone from different time period was related just because they had "adi" in name
Stop associating with us... it's disrespectful for our religion
Love the outro music!!
03:00 Here the X represents the sound usually trascribed as "Kh" as in persian "Khuda".
The words are cognate aswell as the germanic words for GOD.
@@enderdogancnc Kurds are Iranian dear
@@BlueBlue-mm7kn how is that related to anything he said?
@@BlueBlue-mm7kn ...and arrogant comments speak for themselves. As well as those who offer them so freely.
Haha, loved the singing at the end. Great video.
Filip, is that you goofing around at the end mumbling the oud music part? i loved it!
Very well explained. Thankyou . A striking resemblance to brahminical orthopraxy in India .
