Yazidism (Kurdish: Êzdiyatî, Êzdîtî) or Sharfadin[8] (Kurdish: شه‌رفه‌دین, lit. 'Şerfedîn')[9][10][11] is a monotheistic ethnic religion[12][13][14][15] that has roots in a western Iranic pre-Zoroastrian religion directly derived from the Indo-Iranian tradition.[16] It is followed by the mainly Kurmanji-speaking Yazidis and is based on belief in one God who created the world and entrusted it into the care of seven Holy Beings, known as Angels.[8][17][18] Preeminent among these Angels is Tawûsê Melek (also spelled as "Melek Taûs"), who is the leader of the Angels and who has authority over the world.[8][18][19]
