SHAITAN

[Gu ru]

The Head God of the Yezidi People


Among the most revealing examples of a culture that has resisted assimilation from the Abrahamic sects, is the religion of Yezidism.

The Yezidis, a tribe that was called “The Whites of the Middle East”, is a religious sect that has “deviated” from the traditional Islamic narrative of the Region but predates them also.

In accordance to their doctrines, they mention that “Shaitan” is actually the bringer of Truth, Illumination and the King of the Heavenly universe. They see no evil in His figure, only goodness, and they consider Him the highest hierarchy that is on par with “God”.

The Name Shaitan or Satan, is so sacred to the Yezidis, that they believe that the moment one utters that Name, one is in direct communication with God. Therefore, they mostly call Satan by the title Melek Taus, meaning “Highest Messenger”.

They are correct about that statement. These beliefs have made them become a target for genocide by Islamic terrorists, who seek to exterminate their beliefs under the pretext that they are “Satanic”, a true statement in fact, but only an excuse to cause unnecessary violence.

Hello, I am a Yezidi and I enjoy studying my religion and history. I would like to comment on this depiction.

Many people believe that Tawûsî Melek was elevated to the head of the angels only after passing a test. But this idea is foreign and contradicts our actual religious beliefs.

Our Qewls never mention that Tawûsî Melek became the leader of the angels because he passed any kind of trial. Rather, he is appointed by God as their chief from the moment the universe is created. As it says in Qewlê Padişah:

“My King created the universe from the pearl and the jewels and entrusted it to the seven eternal mysteries.
On that day He made Tawûsî Melek their leader.”

And in Qewlê Mersûma Cebêra we read:

“My King is the Creator.
He created Tawûsî Melek from His Light
and made him the leader of the seven angels.”

The story about an alleged test does not appear in any of the narrative religious genres of Êzîdîtî—neither in Serhatî, Çîrok, Destan, nor in Çîvanok. These texts are usually much more detailed than the Qewls, and they would certainly mention such a test if it were part of our tradition.

Likewise, this story is not accepted by any religious authority or traditional Yezidi religious scholar.

This is yet another example of how easily misunderstandings about the Yezidis can spread, and how they are used to demonize us.

(P.S.: The same has been done to Christians and Islamic sects as well.)
