recruit an army among them instead of collecting the tax it was due. They presented the government with all the rules that prevented them from complying. These are all religious and moral obligations for them. They are the following:<\/p><p>FIRST ARTICLE<\/p><p>According to our Yazidi religion, every member of our sect, whether big or small, girl or woman, must visit Melek \u1e6c\u00e2&#039;\u00fbs three times a year, that is, firstly, from the beginning to the end of April, Roman calendar; second, from the beginning to the end of September; third, from the beginning to the end of November. If anyone does not visit the image of Melek \u1e6c\u00e2&#039;\u00fbs, he is an infidel.<\/p><p>SECTION II<\/p><p>If a member of our sect, great or small, does not visit his highness \u0160ei\u1e2b &#039;Ad\u00ee bn Mus\u00e2fir \u2013 may God sanctify his mysteries! once a year, that is to say from the fifteenth to the twentieth of September, Roman calendar, he is unfaithful according to our religion.<\/p><p>ARTICLE III<\/p><p>Every member of our sect must visit the place of sunrise every day when it appears, and there must be no Muslims, Christians, or anyone else at that place. If someone doesn&#039;t, he&#039;s an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE V<\/p><p>Each member of our sect must daily kiss the hand of his brother, his brother from the hereafter, namely the servant of the Mahdi, and the hand of his \u0161ei\u1e2b or pir. If someone does not, he is considered an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE V<\/p><p>According to our religion, it is something unbearable when the Muslim begins in the morning to say in prayer, God forbid! \u201cI take refuge in God, etc. 38 If any of us hear it, let him kill the one who says it and kill himself; otherwise he becomes an infidel.<\/p><p>SECTION VI<\/p><p>When a member of our sect is about to die, if there is no brother of the world to come and his \u0161ei\u1e2b, or his p\u00eer and one of the \u1e33aww\u00e2ls with him to say three words about him, to know ; &quot;O servant of Melek \u1e6c\u00e2&#039;\u00fbs whose ways are high, you must adhere to the religion of the one we worship, who is Melek \u1e6c\u00e2&#039;\u00fbs, whose ways are high, and not die in any other religion than his .<\/p><p>And if anyone comes and tells you something about the Muslim religion, or the Christian religion, or the Jewish religion, or any other religion, don&#039;t believe it and don&#039;t follow it. And if you believe and follow another religion than that of the one we worship, Melek \u1e6c\u00e2&#039;\u00fbs, you will die unfaithful\u201d, he becomes unfaithful.<\/p><p>ARTICLE VII<\/p><p>We have something called the blessing of \u0160ei\u1e2b &#039;Ad\u00ee, meaning the dust of the \u0160ei\u1e2b &#039;Ad\u00ee tomb \u2013 may God sanctify its mystery! Every member of our sect must have it in their pocket and eat it every morning. And if he doesn&#039;t eat it intentionally, he&#039;s an infidel. Likewise at the time of death, if he intentionally does not possess some of this dust, he dies unfaithfully.<\/p><p>ARTICLE VIII<\/p><p>Regarding our fasting, if anyone from our sect wishes to fast, he should fast at his home, not at another&#039;s. For during the fast, he must go each morning to the house of his \u0161ei\u1e2b and his pir, and there he must begin to fast, and when he breaks his fast, likewise, he must go to the house of his \u0161ei\u1e2b and his his p\u00eer, and there break the fast by drinking the sacred wine of \u0161ei\u1e2b or p\u00eer.<\/p><p>And if he does not drink two or three glasses of this wine, his fast is not acceptable, and he becomes an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE IX<\/p><p>If a member of our sect goes to another place and stays there for up to a year, then returns home, then his wife is forbidden to him, and none of us will give him a wife. If anyone gives him a wife, that one is an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE X<\/p><p>Regarding our dress, as we mentioned in the fourth article that each of our sect has a brother for the hereafter, he also has a sister for the hereafter.<\/p><p>So if one of us makes a new shirt for himself, it is necessary for his sister for the afterlife to open the neckband of it, that is to say the neckband of this shirt, with his hand . And if she doesn&#039;t open it with her hand, and he takes it, then he&#039;s an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE XI<\/p><p>If someone from our sect makes a new shirt or dress, he cannot wear it without baptizing it in the holy water which is in the sanctuary of his highness \u0160ei\u1e2b &#039;Ad\u00ee may God sanctify his mystery! If he wears it, he is an infidel.<\/p><p>SECTION XII<\/p><p>We can&#039;t wear a light black dress at all. We cannot comb our heads with the comb of a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew or any other. We also cannot shave our heads with the razor used by others than ourselves (Yazidis), unless it is washed in holy water which is at the shrine of His Highness \u0160ei\u1e2b &#039;Ad\u00ee .<\/p><p>So we are allowed to shave our heads. But if we shave our heads without the razor having been washed in this water, we become infidels.<\/p><p>ARTICLE XIII<\/p><p>No Yazidi can enter a Muslim&#039;s bathroom, or take a bath in a Muslim&#039;s house, or eat with a Muslim spoon, or drink from a Muslim cup, from a cup used by another sect. If he does, he&#039;s an infidel.<\/p><p>ARTICLE XIV<\/p><p>Regarding food, there is a big difference between us and other sects. We don&#039;t eat meat or fish, squash, bamia (okra), fasulia (beans), cabbage or lettuce. We can&#039;t even live where the lettuce is sown.<\/p><p>For these and other reasons, we cannot enter military service, etc.<\/p><p>The names of those who affixed their signatures:<\/p><p>THE LEADER OF THE YEZIDI SECT, THE EMIR OF \u0160EI\u1e2a\u00c2N, \u1e24USEIN.<br \/>THE \u0160EI\u1e2a RELIGIOUS OF THE YEZIDI SECT OF THE \u0160EI\u1e2a\u00c2N DISTRICT, \u0160EI\u1e2a NA\u1e62IR.<\/p><p>THE.
