Abstract

The northern area of Iraq, often known as the Island (Jazî ra), is home to followers of a ritual known as Yazî diyya (Yazidism) or Satanists. These labels do not apply to them out of animus, but because of the presence of two main ingredients in this ritualsanctification of Yazî d and Satan, and refusal to cursing them. One might wonder how these unusual un-Islamic beliefs have found their way into this ritual. In this paper, I seek to answer the question in order to account for the relation between Sufism and theological issues, and then drawing on the analytic-critical method and a study of the sacred texts of Yazidismnamely, Rash and Jilwaas well as a scrutiny of the life of its founder, I conclude that Adî Musâ firthe founder of Yazidismwas a student of Ghazzâ lî brothers during his sojourn in Baghdad, and then inspired by Ghazzâ lî s, he came to believe in the sanctity of Yazî d and Satan, and thus refused from cursing them as a practical duty. When he tried to establish his ritual around Sinjar Mountains, he incorporated the two doctrines into his denomination.
