Al-Jiwa and Melek Taus

[Sol Rei 666]

1) Will Melek Taus appear on Zeus's name page? I've researched a few times on my own and I've almost never found any information, and if I do, it's just a few things.

2) I think the best and most powerful book I have ever read was Al-Jiwa. Every time I read it I feel a great energy of the Gods burning within me, and I always become reflective. The first time that read that Perfection i just got emotional and started crying, but not out of sadness.

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.)
