Im from Armenia and I've met ezidis many times (we even have streets called "ezidis street")
There are honest workers, good people and has strong connection with their families .
Armenia is a magical country, they are a wonderful people because it is the only country that will not eliminate the Yazidi people, unlike Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria. Special thanks to the Armenian people 🖤🥀
I am from india..here in india we have lots of Armenian chruch...and right now around 1 million Armenians lives in india...😊😊
@@Black-Dawn Yes but, do not forget Georgia as well, Armenia and Georgia (especially Tbilisi) is home for tens thousands of Yezidis for last 200 years :) For that thanks and glory to both countries.
@@KonstantineMuradovWait, are there Yezidis in Georgia? Oh, I didn't know that. My sincere thanks to Georgia, Armenia and every country that helped welcome my people. Indeed, the Yazidis have gone extinct from Iran, and now the same is happening in Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. 🥺♥️
@@KonstantineMuradovyes I was about to say as a yazidi we love everyone who stood up for us and opened their arms for us, as we yazidis, we will never break the hand that was handed to us❤️🔥
Your authentic pronunciation of Middle Eastern names and words is very impressive.
@Nihilist Seeker it's just his last name bro there is a high chance he is not related to the quresh clan.
Yes, it's surprised me too ,he's good
It's not. He pronounces the KH as a K sound and not a hard H as is correct.
@The Star that’s because they were invaded by Arabs and had Arabic culture imposed on them.
Lol your surname 🤣🤣🤣🤣 are you from House of quresh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn I hope this channel grows, this video was extremely well done
Thanks a lot! The subscriber amount have started to pick up some speed lately, so hopefully we're getting there!

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 TH-cam. 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
th-cam.com/video/AHXLkDVnAuI/w-d-xo.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.
@@LetsTalkReligion Greetings what about Alawites? Hope u gonna make video on Alawites
@@Apkaa
He already did
Thanks for the channel. I think it's underrated, but definitely one of the best if not the best religion channel that I have come across.
Just accidentally I found this channel. It’s very informative. Study about different religions is my hobby and I really enjoy it .
If you find other similar channels, can you share them?
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.
Yezidis are very peaceful and hard working people. We love our Yezidi brothers in Armenia

Ofc you're from Armenia
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.
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
Thanks again, your way of explaining helps us to understand our belief origins and why we are divided instead of unified😢
I really like this Chanel. It’s very interesting to trace, talk about different religions and people that keep alive these beliefs.
There is big Yazidi community in Armenia .they are very peaceful and wonderful people
Good information let them live in peace
Armenia is a wonderful country.
I'm moving to study in Armenia and one of the subjects is yazidism, that's how I discovered this
Didn't they build a new Yezidi temple in Armenia? Wish I could visit it. The Yezidis are a fascinating faith community.
Are Yezidis Vegetarian"s ?
I love the self composed vocals at the end 😂😂
I'm assuming its some oriental stringed instrument that he is attempting to imitate.
Something you'd hear in Turkish, persian, and arab bars.
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.
Yeah i gotta assume he just wanted to show off how good he is at that which he kinda is
🤣🤣🤣
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.
There’s not such thing as Kurdish Ezidi. Ether you’re Kurd or you’re Ezidi.

My heart goes out to the suffering of the Yazidis especially under Daesh.
But not the Muslims?
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 liar 😂
@@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.
@@pali0123 lol what?

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.
Muslim countries has sufficient oil -- petroleum. So, they don't interested to apply bad politics or conspiracy to change others government!!??

7 Angles of Yazidis and read about Sapt Rishis (7 sages) of Hindus
Apkallu the7 sages
Yes it is so similar to Hinduism
Or seven prominently brightest known objects in the sky like Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn. and etymological names of seven days of the week.
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.

Yeah, I learned new things about Ibadis today. Pretty cool 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.

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.

@@Vlogs_Dharma These religions are all of Indian origin and have nothing to do with Islam

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.
Thank you! The origins of the religion is one of the most interesting parts!
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.

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.
th-cam.com/video/N2av-xdtMwY/w-d-xo.html
I'd love it if you came to chat on my channel.
yes, I thought it might have some connection to the city, because Yezidi is also an Iranian religion.

Beautiful. I follow most of your videos. Very informative, well narrated and true to the subject. Much appreciate. Thank you.
Just found this channel and im so glad i did, thanks for the good content!
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
I discovered your channel recently. Thank you for your clear explanation
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❤❤

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 ..
A beautifully told description of the Yazidi faith. Thank you!

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.
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
Sect? similar to the Druze etc.? omg it is an old independent religion and not a sect of Islam or Christianity etc.

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..
@ً Yes, it does come from Islam. In my opinion that's the best way to practice Islam. However purists may disagree so I wrote the two separately.

Quality content through and through 👌 Subscribed!
Fascinating and tragic, as with most stories about religion. Very well done.
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!
Correct. has the same root as Iranian Khodah
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
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.
They were also treated poorly cause they are not Arab and there are many racist Pan Arabs in the region
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?
Yeah I feel the same way for all of Latin America and Africa
I really appreciate your Content and especially how accurate you are of pronouncing the words🙏
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.
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?

WE just want PEACE... in OUR World there is no evil, so the devil does not exist eather. Think bevor you belive,There can be no other power besides God... ya xwedé u tauwisi melek God bless you!
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.
so glad i got recommended this channel!
:-)
What a great channel and great scholar! You're doing great work Philip!
Thank you. Your videos are so interesting and informative. I an happy to subscribe to your channel.

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).

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
Informative video and impressive outro music.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.
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 🕉️🙏
@@Alvin-qe8xn
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
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.
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.
Or Hinduism came from the Yazidis
@@shukeelc5177 there are now archiological evidences that Hinduism evolved in India and spread across the world. previously it was believed that people came out of
India and developed hinduism. reality is out
So enjoyable. Thank you for your clarity.
This is a really interesting and informative video! Also, I like the song at the end. 🥰🥰
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🙂
Huge admirable effort, I wish I can see an Egyptian makes an effort like this, thank you
Same
Thanks for a very knowledgeable presentation.
You are doing great work. And by great I mean GREAT! Such work should be praised. And I hope you get millions of followers on your TH-cam channel
This outro is world class, you should end all the videos with it.
In Sanskrit Aadi means "the begining"
That is tamil word
@@Priya-dz1wo check first this is sanskrit word
@@Priya-dz1wo your name is also a sanskrit word
@@Priya-dz1wo what the hell is this fight of Sanskrit and tamil what u people wana do to each other .
@@yashdeepkeer6937 whenever we mention 'Sanskrit' many tamils lose their balls. Simple.
I find strange resonances with Sanatan Dharma.
The points of commonalities are:
1. Centrality of Fire in worship and passing of religious scriptures not through the writings but through vocal renderings. This is the basis of the Vedas for which they were called Shruti.
2. Worship of Sun (and not Moon as in Islam)
3. Praying facing East to salute the rising of Sun signalling the natural order of waking up to action.
4. The distinct presence of godly beings (Devatas) lesser to the Supreme Consciousness (ParaBrahman as in Hindu)
5. Peacock is linked mythologically with Indra. It's feather features prominently as the ornament of headgear of Krishna.
It was the state emblem of the Mauryan Dynasty (hence the name)
6. Reincarnation of soul and predominance of Karma with the goal to achieve a state of devoid of the baggage of Karma to derive Moksha is the summation of Hindu faith.
7. The name of Adi is very common to both Hindu and Jainism. It means the ancient source. E.g. Adi Shankaracharya, Adinath.
8. Yazidi sounds more like Azadi, the community which remained free from the pressures of conversion that is so very evident.
9. And whoa! did I hear correctly that the tenets of the Yazidi religion is collectively called Addawiyya, the Sufi Order. Or is it just a morphed way of saying Advaita.
10. Caste system and the prohibition regarding intermarriage reminds much of the Gotra system of Hindus.
I have merely found the uncanny similarities. They need not be true. But neither can we rubbish so many coincidences.
Yeah!!! I'm also surprised to find so many similarities between hindus and yazdis
Muslims don't worship the moon or any other creature. They are strict monotheistic. They worship the one and only Creator of everything.
Or is to make you feel better about yourself !!!? That every one is pagans like you!!!!?
@@benaissa9684 I am very thankful to you that you have given me such a praiseworthy title of being a pagan.
It may be unworthy according to your religious ideology and of the Islamic people. But, your monotheism is again very reprehensible to me and my religious beliefs that seeks to find the breath of God in every atom and every object of Nature that is accessible through the 5 senses and discernable through the 6th sense of Yogic Union.
The only difference between the religious ideology of both of us is that I am not at all worried how and to whom and which mode you and your ilk prefer to approach spirituality while the Muslim religion is worried sick why we don't prefer to approach spirituality through the eyes of your prophet and his interpretation of spirituality as written in your one and only Book. The extent of your worries are so congenital that your prophet has actually laid down rules of torture and decapitation of people like us who are worshipping God through Nature and idols and natural objects. We are Kaffir for you. You are nuisance for us.
The sort of irksome nuisance that finds drilling holes in ancient gigantic sculptures of Buddha in Bamiyan of Afghanistan to be highly religious so that those beautiful things could be blasted off with dynamite. And then you would shout and dance with glee Kalashnikovs in hand all smiling with the thought that possibly your Allah has reserved some place in his Heaven for such destructive tribes to enjoy copulation with 72 female angels or Hoors.
Noh!! Please spare me and my pagan friends from such savagery and tribal behaviour.
Also don't say Muslims don't worship anything that is born from Nature.
Ask any devout Muslim what do you aspire?
The answer would be to go to the pilgrimage of Haj.
And what do you do when you are finally at the Haj.
You take a walk around the big black stone called the Kaaba.
Now, that is also idolatry.
When you keep a picture of the Kaaba with lines from the scriptures of yours and kneel before it, that is also idolatry.
When you don't break the fasting of the Ramadan period unless the Moon is visible that evening, that is also idolatry and paganism.
If Muslims don't really worship the Moon then why is this Moon so prevalent in every symbolic structure of Islam? Why are every Muslim flag having the symbol of Moon and the evening star?
Just that it is your form of paganism and that is appreciated by all of us. No harm in doing so. Just don't act Holier than thou.
@@SirVonn
Wow you wrote an essay!!!
1. If you are not woory about Islam don't spread lies about it.
2. If you don't know history don't talk about it. The Pagans were the ones who start fighting the prophet and tortured Muslims. And Muslims defended themselves. After migrating and having their own city.
3. There is no law in Islam to force or harm anyone to convert. There is no cempultion in religion. It stated clearly in the Quran.
4. If Muslims were forcing anyone we wouldn't have until this day 10% of Egypt Christians. And almost 50% Lebanese. Jews lived among us for hundreds of years and Zoroastrians still exist in Iran.
5. If it was the cas. Pagans in your country. I suppose India. Would've been exterminated.
6. Again more lies. You find no excuse just to bring Terrorism. If Islam was like that. The whole Earth would've been gone.
7. Terrorists are small minority responsible for their own act.
8. Islam reached Irak, Egypt and Afganistan in the first 15 years after the death of the prophet. In a time of the 2nd Calif, were most of the companions of the prophet were alive.
9. If it was the destruction of Statues or other thing from Islam. Nothing would have been left since 1400 years ago.
10. Does it make you a Watch worshiper if you see the time to do something!!? Fasting have a specific time. That's it.
11. Kaaba is a mosque in itself. People used to pray inside it. Then it was left and a larger mosque was built around it. As a temple. No Muslim worship or pray to the Kaaba.
If you are not really woory or bothered by Islam, why are you forcing yourself to make lies about Islam!!!!?
I don't care about your paganism, I don't need to make any lie about it. You can worship rats and monkeys if you want.
In one hand you see the attribute of paganism as praiseworthy, in the other hand you try your best to force it by lies upon others !!!!! Is it a controversy!!!!
Keep your paganism for yourself, we are Monotheists. We worship only the Creator.
If being pagans is good keep it for yourself. You don't need to lie about Islam to make it more praiseworthy whith your paganism!!!!! Unless it's just wishful thinking of yours, so you feel more comfortable in your skin !!!
@@SirVonn
1. This video or thread is not about Islam. Why did you find the need to bring Islam in it ? If you don't have a problem!!!?
2. If I say, for example, you are a Chinese. And you answer "no, I'm an Indian". It should be the end of my statement. Why I'll have any need to keep telling you, you are a Chinese!!!! It doesn't make any sense, isn't it? It's even stupid, to say the less.
3. So, why do you need to tell lies about Islam !!?
_ Did ever any Muslim told you that he worship the moon !!? NO
_ Does Muslims have any text telling them to worship the moon!!!? NO
- Did ever any Muslim told you that he worship the Kaaba!!!? Even a child!! NO
- Is there any religious text telling Muslims to worship the Kaaba!!? NO.
-
The Quran state clearly that To God belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn you are facing God. The Kaaba is just a unified direction and a sacred place.
If someone has an issue with himself or his religion, it doesn't fix that issue that he lies to himself and pretend that everyone else have the same issue.
If you have a problem worshiping rocks, trees,.. or any creature don't lie to yourself that everyone is doing the same thing. It won't fix anything. Everyone is accountable for himself and no others.
Informative as always. Great job.
