About Liberal Yazidism

Liberal Yazidism is a reform progressive Yazidi Movement within Islam

We are a group of Liberal Yazidis who are carrying out a reformation of our path in order to return back to our original royal Umayyad Arab and Sufi Muslim roots while keeping in mind the post modern progress of our 21th century's world .

​

Why the Yazidi reformation still matters ?

1- Because of deadly legalistic Pharisee like rules that caused the Stoning of Du'a Aswad

2-Because of the betrayal and the abusive Pharisee backward ,merciless rules that was carried out by the Yazidi spiritual council against the ISIS rape survivals and their families , forcing Yazidi mothers to abandon their children  and to give up their children in order to be halfheartedly accepted ( along with bullying and social stigma )  in the community ! or to face total expulsion along with their children !

3- Because of the enmity and denial of our royal Yazidi Umayyad Arab and Muslim roots

4- Because of the forced Kurdification against us

5- Because we aren't allowed to marry whomever we love and we have to follow some spiritually dead racial and made up religious theories which doesn't even exist in early Yazidism .

6- Because of the lack of spiritual teachings , the spiritual life that should enrich our souls and satisfy our spiritual hunger , while the Yazidi spiritual council is only busy in Politics and appeasing the clans .

7- Because of the refusal of accepting Converts .

​

What Liberal Yazidis are Standing for ?

​

1- Equality between all races , sexes and orientations , we reject and condemn the claims of  racial superiority and we aren't Kurds either ( but Kurds as well as all races are welcome to Join Liberal Yazidism )

​

* A Woman could be a Shaykh , Pir or Faqir and a qawal as well as a spiritual guide just like men.

* Yazidi men and women can marry whomever they love regardless of any religious , ethnic or sectarian background .

* Converts are welcome to Join our Liberal Yazidi Muslim Path .

​

 Liberal Yazidi statement of Faith :

1- We believe in Allah and Muhammad PBUH our last prophet and messenger . All is One .

2- We believe in Melek Taus the lover of Allah and he is our teacher and master . All is One .

3- Melek Taus who is the Peacock Angel is Iblis PBUH (Lucifer ) . All is one .

4- All the holy Prophets and Alawliyah/Saints are the Incarnation of Iblis with the exception of Imam Ali And his offspring who are the Incarnation of God's Light directly . Yet All is One .

5- Good and Evil comes from God/Allah . All is One .

6- Without Evil there is no meaning for  Good , without Darkness there is no meaning of the light , without day there is no meaning of Night . All is One .

7- We should Thank Allah for both Good and evil . All is One .

8- Love and Union with God is the ultimate goal of the Yazidi Muslim , Islam simply means surrender , ie to surrender the self to God and to be immersed in the divine/the one . All is One .

9-There are 4 stages in order to reach this union : Sharia - Tariqah - Marifah - Haqiqah . All is One .

10- God is to be worshiped/loved directly without intermediaries , saints , statues ( including the Sanjaq peacock statue , we reject the Sanjaq rituals  in Liberal Yazidism) and objects , Melek Taus is the master of Monotheists and he has refused to worship anyone  and anything other than God and he also refused intermediaries , Melem Taus himself want to empower us and not to view him as Intermediary either . we should seek the divine directly till we reach the stage of Haqiqah and see nothing but God . All is One .

​

Our beliefs are based on our ancient oral Yazidi poems , and we will Translate many of the Yazidi Poems  during our Journey in this Blog .
