Melek Taus - The Peacock God of the Yazid




Qu'ret al-Yezid
Revelation of Melek Ta'us








Melek Taus, the "Peacock Angel", is the god of the Yazidis.


The Yazidis consider Tawûsê Melek an emanation of God and a benevolent angel who has redeemed himself from his fall and has become a demiurge who created the cosmos frothe Cosmic Egg. After he repented, he wept for 7000 years, his tears filling seven jars, which then quenched the fires of Hell.

Melek was borrowed from the Arabic term "king" or "angel". In Hebrew, Melekh is King, and Malakh is Angel. Tawus is uncontroversially translated "peacock"; in art and sculpture, Melek Taus is depicted as peacock. However, peacocks are not native to the lands where he is worshipped.

The Yazidi believe that the founder of their religion, Sheikh Adi Ibn Musafir, was an avatar of Melek Taus.

Some people identify Melek Taus as Lucifer, or Satan. The Yazidis do not utter such blasphemy, as it is quite offensive to them to equate Melek Taus with evil. He is an Angel and this is how the Yazidis see him.

In the Islamic scheme of things, he is called Iblis or Eblis (the Calumniator or the Liar), and is considered to be the Prince of Darkness, himself. Azazel, by whatever name he might be called, is also often characterized as a 'Sovereign of the World' - kabalistically being a reflection in the Kingdom of Malkuth, of God in Kether.

In African Islamic traditions, he is known as Zeraili, the angel of death. The thorny acacia bush is sacred to Azazel, according to Arab tribes. His name is pre-Jewish and pre-Islamic. Some speculate that he may have been an early Semitic goat god whose worship later became repulsive to the Jewish and Islamic faiths. Angra Mainyu is Azazel's Zoroastrian counterpart. Andrew Collins, of "From the Ashes of Angels" fame, postulates that Azazel was most likely a powerful goat-shaman.

Whatever he was, he was the Master of Metals and Minerals. In "Genesis of the Grail Kings", Laurence Gardner says this: "It is said in Enoch that Azazel made known to men 'all the metals and the art of working them...and the use of antimony' (otherwise known as stibium [Sb] Element No. 51).

This is an essential ingredient of the preparatory alchemical process when producing the Philosopher's Stone. In the ancient Arab world antimony was called kuhl (or kohl). The related word, 'alcohol' stems from the Arabic al-kuhul, the highly refined Philosophical Mercury prepared from spirits of wine rectified over antimony" [which is, btw, extremely poisonous and related to arsenic].

According to Sir Roger Bacon, when processed in vitriol (a potent cocktail
of Alum, Ammonium Chloride, Sodium Nitrate or saltpetre, and a few
other choice materials) the antimony - a white to silver coloured ore - will be reduced to a 'noble red oil'. "Yes, many say, that when one prepares Stibium to a glass, then the evil volatile Sulphur will be gone, and the Oil, which may be prepared from the glass, would be a very fixed oil, and would then truly give an ingress and Medicine of imperfect metals to perfection."

Thus, the colour red is associated with Azazel as the Master of this most critical alchemical element.. According to traditions in the Middle East, the clay of the earth is red and from it was made man. As the Sovereign of the World of Man, red is again associated with him.

It is interesting that Enoch notes the use of antimony for the purposes of 'beautifying the eyelids', when this sulphide clearly has much more important uses and properties. It is as if we were left a clue that Azazel was an alchemist by the mere mention of the fact that part of his mastery was over this particular element. Metallurgy is also related to alchemy in that many metals and metallic salts are used in these most ancient arts.

The alchemist must forge his gold from basal leads in fire, the same as a smith who produces weapons, goblets, bowls, shields, mirrors and jewellery from ores. Azazel has also been identified with Tubal-Cain, Vulcan, and Thoth due to his mastery of metals and great knowledge.

Antimony is one of these basal leads alchemists use and is often referred to as the White Lead.One of The alchemical symbols for antimony are:



These and other alchemical symbols are painted on his robe.

The following is the Melek Taus legend from "From the Ashes of Angels":

"Yet chief among the Yezidi angels was a unique and very important figure
indeed. His name was, and still is (for the Yezidis still exist), Melek Taus,
the Peacock Angel. He corresponds with the Judeo-Christian concept of
the Evil One - Satan or Lucifer - but this association hardly does him justice, for Melek Taus is seen as a supreme being, with authority over worldly affairs.

To these people he was the creator of the material world, which he made from the scattered pieces of an original cosmic egg, or pearl, inside which his spirit had previously resided.

"According to one Yezidi text known as the Mes'haf i Resh, or 'the Black Book'- the contents of which were entirely unknown to Europeans in Layard's time -it reveals that:

In the beginning God (Kurdish Khuda) created the White Pearl out of his
most precious Essence; and He created a bird named Anfar. And He placed the pearl upon its back, and dwelt thereon forty thousand years. On the first day [of creation], Sunday, He created an angel called Azazil, which is MelekTaus, the chief of all [angels]." ~ pg. 170 'The Peacock Angel'.

****************************

The Black Book

In the beginning The Invisible One brought forth from its own precious soul a white pearl.
And It created a bird upon whose back It placed the pearl, and there He
dwelt for forty thousand years.
Then on the first day, Sunday, It created an angel called Izrael.
He is Archangel over all the Angels, he who is Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel.
He is the first to be, and to know that He is; for the One can know nothing.
On each of the other Days of the week the One brought forth Angels to serve Melek Taus.
After this, the Invisible One retreated into Itself, and acted no more; but Melek Taus was left to
act.
Seeing the barrenness of the ether, He created the form of the seven heavens, the earth,
sun and moon.
He created mankind, animals, birds and beasts in the pockets of his cloak.
Then He brought man up from the pearl accompanied by angels.
He gave a great shout before the pearl, after which it split into four pieces.
He made water flow from its inside, and that water became the sea.
The Black Book
After that He created a ship in which He rode thirty thousand years,
After which Melek Taus came and lived among men in the city of Lâlish,
Where His temple remains to this day.
He lifted up His voice and the sea became solid and became the earth.
Then Melek Taus brought two pieces of the white pearl.
He placed one below the earth and the other He placed at the door of heaven.
Then he placed in both of them the sun and the moon.
From the scattered fragments of the white pearl He created
the stars which He suspended in the sky for decoration.
And He created fruit trees and plants on land and
mountains to beautify the earth.
And He created a throne upon a throne.
Then the Great Lord, Melek Taus, said to the angels, "I want to
create Adam and Eve and make them give rise to
mankind. Of the seed of Adam there shall be born a Prophet,
and from him shall descend a people on the earth;
then the people of Me, Melek Taus,
and these people are to be the Yezidis."
And it was so!

Revelation of Melek Taus
(Qu'ret al-Yezid)


(fragmentary; lost parts marked with brackets)
Wherefore, it is true that My knowledge compasses the very Truth of all that Is,
And My wisdom is not separate from My heart,
And the Manifestation of My descent is clear unto you,
And when it is Revealed to the Children of Adam it will be seen [.......................]
And many will tremble thereby.
All habitations and desert spaces are indeed of My own creation, set forth,
All fully within My strength, not that of the false gods;
Wherefore I am He that men come with their rightful worship,
Not the false gods of their books, wrongly written;
But they come to know Me, a Peacock of bronze and of gold,
Wings spread over Kaaba and Temple and Church, not to be overshadowed.
And in the secret cave of My wisdom it is known that there is no God but Myself,
Archangel over all the Host, Melek Ta'us.
Knowing this, who dares deny?
Knowing this, who dares fail to worship?
[........................]
Knowing this, who dares worship false gods of Koran and Bible?
Knowing this, who shall make that [...............................]?
Know that who knows Me will I cast into Paradisical gardens of My pleasure!
But the Yezid who knows Me not will I cast into affliction.
Say then, I am the only and exalted Archangel;
And I make prosperous whom I will, and I enliven whom I will.
Say then, I alone am to be praised from the Towers of Lalish,
And from the Mountain of Ararat to the Western Sea.
Say then, Let the Light of Knowledge flash forth from the Ziarahs,
Flash forth from the river of Euphrates to the hiddenness of Schambhallah.
Let My sanjak be carried from its safe place into the Temple,
And let all the clans of Yezid know of My Manifestation,
Even Sheikan, and Sinjar, and Haliteyeh, and Malliyeh, and Lepcho,
And the Kotchar who wander among the heathen.

Meshaf Resh: The Black Book
Alternate


In the beginning God created the White Pearl out of His most precious Essence; and
He created a bird named Anfar. And He placed the pearl upon its back, and dwelt
thereon forty thousand years.
On the first day, Sunday, He created an angel named 'Azazil, which is Ta'us Melek
("the Peacock Angel"), the chief of all.
On Monday He created Darda'il, which is Sheikh Hasan.
On Tuesday he created Israfil, who is Sheikh Shams.
On Wednesday He created Jibra'il (Gabriel), who is Sheikh Abu Bekr.
On Thursday He created 'Azra'il, who is Sajadin.
On Friday He created the angel Shemna'il, who is Nasiru'd-Din.
On Saturday He created the angel Nura'il, who is [...] He made Melek Ta'us chief over
them.

Afterwards he created the form of the seven heavens, and the earth, and the sun, and
the moon [...] He created mankind, and animals, and birds, and beasts, and placed
them in the folds of His mantle, and arose from the Pearl, accompanied by the angels.
Then He cried out at the Pearl with a loud cry, and forthwith it fell asunder into four
pieces, and water gushed out from it and became the sea. The world was round
without clefts.
Then He created Gabriel in the form of a bird, and committed to his hands the
deposition of the four corners. Then He created a ship and abode therein thirty
thousand years, after which He came and dwelt in Lalesh. He cried out in the world,
and the sea coagulated, and the world became earth and they continued quivering.
Then He commanded Gabriel to take two of the pieces of the White Pearl, one of
which He placed under the earth, while the other rested in the Gate of Heaven. Then
He placed in them the sun and the moon, and created the stars from their fragments,
and suspended them in heaven for an ornament. He also created fruit-bearing trees
and plants in the earth, and likewise the mountains, to embellish the earth. He created
the Throne over the Carpet.

Then said the Mighty Lord, "O Angels, I will create Adam and Eve, and will make
them human beings, and from them two shall arise, out of the loins of Adam, Shehr
ibn Jebr; and from him shall arise a single people on the earth, the people of 'Azazel,
to wit of Ta'us Melek, which is the Yezidi people. Then I shall send Sheikh 'Adi b.
Musafir from the land of Syria, and he shall come and dwell in Lalesh".
Then the Lord descended to the holy land and commanded Gabriel to take earth from
the four corners of the world: earth, air, fire and water. He made it man, and endowed
it with a soul by His power. Then He commanded Gabriel to place Adam in Paradise,
where he might eat of the fruit of every green herb, only of wheat should he not eat.
After a hundred years Ta'us Melek said to God, "How shall Adam increase and
multiply, and where is his offspring?" God said to him, "Into thy hand have I
surrendered authority and administration". Then he came and said to Adam, "Hast
thou eaten of the wheat?" He answered, "No, for God hath forbidden me so to do, and
hath said, 'Thou shalt not eat of it'". Melek Ta'us said to him, "If you eat of it, all shall
go better with thee". But, after he had eaten, his belly swelled up, and Ta'us Melek
drove him forth from Paradise, and left him, and ascended into heaven. Then Adam
suffered from the distention of his belly, because it had no outlet. But God sent a bird,
which came and helped him, and made an outlet for it, and he was relieved. And
Gabriel continued absent from him for a hundred years, and he was sad, and wept.
Then God commanded Gabriel, and he came and created Eve from under Adam's left
arm-pit.

Then Melek Ta'us descended to earth for the sake of our people- I mean the muchsuffering
Yezidis- and raised up for us kings beside the kings of the ancient
Assyrians, Nesrukh (who is Nasiru'd-Din) and Kamush (who is King Fakhru'd-Din)
and Artimus (who is King Shamsu'd-Din). And after this we had two kings, the first
and second Shapur, whose rule lasted one hundred and fifty years, and from whose
seed are our Amirs until the present day; and we became divided into four Septs.
To us it is forbidden to eat lettuce (khass) - because its name resembles that of our
prophetess Khassa - and haricot beans; also to use dark blue dye; neither do we eat
fish, out of respect for Jonah the prophet; nor gazelles, because these constituted the
flock of one of our prophets. The Sheik and his disciples, moreover, eat not the flesh
of the cock, out of respect for the peacock; for it is one of the seven gods before
mentioned, and his image is in the form of a cock. The Sheikh and his disciples
likewise abstain from eating pumpkin. It is, moreover, forbidden to us to make water
standing, or to put on out clothes sitting, or to cleanse ourselves in the privy as do the
Mohammedans, or to perform our ablutions in their baths. Neither is it permitted to us
to pronounce the name of Shaitan (because it is the name of our God), nor any name
resembling this, such as Kitan, Sharr, Shatt; nor any vocable resembling mal'un, [...],
na'l, or the like. Before [...] our religion was called idolatry: and the Jews, Christians,
Muslims and Persians held aloof from our religion. King Ahab and Amran were of us,
so that they used to call the God of Ahab Beelzebub, whom they call amongst us Pirbub.
We had a king in Babel whose name was Bukhti-Nossor (Nebuchadnezzer), and
Ahasuerus in Persia, and in Constantinople Aghriqalus. Before heaven and earth
existed, God was over the waters in a vessel in the midst of the waters.
Then He was wroth with the Pearl which he had created, wherefore he cast it away:
and from the crash of it were produced the mountains, and from the clang of it the
sand-hills, and from its smoke the heavens. Then God ascended into heaven, and
condensed the heavens, and fixed them without supports, and enclosed the earth.
Then He took the pen in His hands, and began to write down the names of all his
creatures. From His essence and light He created six gods, whose creation was as one
lighteth a lamp from another lamp.
Then said the first god to the second god, "I have created heaven; ascend thou into it,
and create something else." And when he ascended, the sun came into being. And he
said to the next, "Ascend!", and the moon came into being. And the third put the
heavens in movement, and the fourth created the stars, and the fifth created el-Kuragh
- that is to say, the Morning Star; and so on.
Kitab el-Jelwa: The Book Of Revelation
Melek Ta'us existed before all creatures. He sent his servant into this world to warn
and separate his chosen people from error: first by oral tradition, secondly by this by
this book Jilwa, which is not permitted to strangers to read or to look upon.

First Section

I was, and am now, and will continue unto eternity, ruling over all creatures and
ordering the affairs and deeds of those who are under my sway. I am presently at hand
to such as trust in me and call upon me in time of need, neither is there any place void
of me where I am not present.
I am concerned in all those events which strangers name evils because they are not
done according to their desire. Every age has a Regent, and this by my counsel. Every
generation changes with the Chief of this World, so that each one of the chiefs in his
turn and cycle fulfills his charge. I grant indulgence according to the just merits of
those qualities wherewith each disposition is by nature endowed. He who opposeth
me shall have regrets and be grieved. The other gods may not interfere in my
businessand work: whatsoever I determine, that is.
The Scriptures which are in the hands of strangers, even though they were written by
prophets and apostles, yet have these turned aside, and rebelled, and perverted them;
and each one of them confuteth the other and abrogateth it. Truth and Falsehood are
distinguished by proving them at the time of their appearance. I will fulfill my
promise to those who put their trust in me, and will perform my covenant, or will act
contrary to it, according to the judgment of those wise and discerning Regents to
whom I have delegated my authority for determinate periods. I take notes of all
affairs, and promote the performance of what is useful in its due time. I direct and
teach such as will follow my teaching, who find in their accord with me joy and
delight greater than any joy wherewith the soul rejoiceth.

I reward and I punish this progeny of Adam in all different ways of which I have
knowledge. In this my hand is the control of earth and what is above it and beneath it.
I undertake not the assistance of other races, neither do I withhold good from them;
much less do I grudge it to those who are my chosen people and obedient servants. I
surrender active control into the hands of those whom I have proved, who are, in
accordance with my will, friends in some shape and fashion to such as are faithful and
abide by my counsel. I take and I give; I make rich and I make poor; I make happy
and I make wretched, according to environments and seasons, and there is none who
hath the right to interfere, or to withdraw any man from my control. I draw down
pains and sicknesses upon such as strive to thwart me. He who is accounted mine,
dieth not like other men. I suffer no man to dwell in this lower world for more than
the period determined by me; and, if I wish, I send him back into this world a second
and a third time, or more, by the transmigration of the soul, and this by a universal
law.

I guide without a scripture; I point the way by unseen means unto my friends and such
as observe the precepts of my teaching, which is not grievous, and is adapted to the
time and conditions. I punish such as contravene my laws in other worlds. The
children of this Adam know not those things which are determined, wherefore they
oft-times fall into error. The beasts of the field, and of heaven, and the fish of the
sea,all of them are in my hand and under my control. The treasures and hoards buried
in the heart of the earth are known to me, and I cause one after another to inherit
them. I make manifest my signs and wonders to such as will receive them and seek
them from me in their due season.
The antagonism and opposition of strangers to me and my followers do but injure the
authors thereof, because they know not that might and wealth are in my hands, and
that I bestow them on such of Adam's progeny as are deserving of them. The ordering
of the worlds, the revolution of ages, and the changing of their regents are mine from
eternity. And whosoever walketh not uprightly therein, him I will chastise in my own
appointed tie, and turn back to his former charge.
The seasons are four, and the elements are four; these have I vouchsafed to meet the
needs of my creatures. The scriptures of strangers are accepted by me in so far as they
accord and agree with my ordinances and run not counter to them; for they have been
for the most part perverted.

Three there are opposed to me, and three names do I hate. To such as keep my secrets
shall my promises be fulfilled. All those who have undergone tribulations for my
sake, will I recompense without fail in one of the worlds. I desire all my followers to
be united in one fold on account of those who are antagonists and strangers to them.
O ye who observe my injunctions, reject such sayings and teachings as are not from
me. Mention not my name or my attributes, as strangers do, lest ye be guilty of sin,
for ye have no knowledge thereof.

Fifth Section

Honor my symbol and image, for it will remind you of what ye have neglected of my
laws and ordinances. Be obedient to my servants and listen to what they communicate
to you of that knowledge of the unseen which they receive from me.

THE HYMN OF SHEIKH ADI

My understanding surround the truth of things,
And my truth is mixed up in me.
And the truth of my descent is set forth by itself;
And when it was known it was altogether in me.
All who are in the universe are under me,
And all the habitable parts and the deserts,
And every thing created is under me.
And I am the ruling power, preceding all that exists.
And I am he who spake a true saying.
And I am the just judge, and the ruler of the earth.
And I am he whom men worship in my glory,
Coming to me and kissing my feet.
And I am he who spread over the heavens their height.
And I am he who cried in the beginning,
And I am the Sheikh, the one and only one.
And I am he who of myself revealeth all things.
For I am he to whom came the book of glad tidings,
From my Lord who burneth the mountains.
And I am he to whom all created men come,
In obedience to kiss my feet.
I bring forth fruit from the first juice of early youth,
By my presence; and turn towards me my disciples.
And before his light the darkness of the morning cleared away.
I guide him who asketh for guidance.
And I am he that caused Adam to dwell in Paradise,
And Nimrod to inhabit a hot burning fire.
And I am he who guided Ahmed the Just,
And let him into my path and way.
And I am he unto whom all creatures
Come unto for my good purposes and gifts.
And I am he who visited all the heights,
And goodness and charity proceed from my mercy.
And I am he who made all hearts to fear my purpose,
And they magnified the power and majesty of my awfulness.
And I am he to whom the destroying lion came,
Raging, and I shouted against him and he became stone.
And I am he to whom the serpent came,
And by my will I made him dust.
And I am he who struck the rock and made it tremble,
And made to burst from its side the sweetest of waters.
And I am he who sent down the certain truth.
From me the book that comforteth the oppressed.
And I am he who judged justly;
And when I judged it was my right.
And I am he who made the springs to give water,
Sweeter and pleasanter than all waters.
And I am he that caused it to appear in my mercy,
And by my power I called it the pure.
And I am he to whom the Lord of Heaven hath said.
Thou art the Just Judge, and the ruler of the earth.
And I am he who disclosed some of my wonders.
And some of my virtues are manifested in that which exists
And I am he who caused the mountains to bow,
To move under me, and at my will.
And I am he before whose awful majesty the wild beasts cried;
They turned to me worshipping, and kissed my feet.
And I am Adi Es-shami, the son of Moosafir.
Verily the All-Merciful has assigned unto me names,
The heavenly throne, and the seat, and the seven and the earth.
In the secret of my knowledge there is no God but me.
These things are subservient to my power.
And for which state do you deny my guidance.
Oh men! deny me not, but submit;
In the day of Judgement you will be happy in meeting me.
Who dies in my love I will cast him
In the midst of Paradise by my will and pleasure;
But he who dies unmindful of me,
Will be thrown into torture in misery and affliction.
I say that I am the only one and the exalted;
I create and make rich those whom I will.
Praise be to myself, and all things are by my will.
And the universe is lighted by some of my gifts.
I am the king who magnifies himself;
And all the riches of creation are at my bidding.
I have made known unto you, O people, some of my ways,
Who desireth me must forsake the world.
And I can also speak the true saying.
And the garden on high is for those who do my pleasure.
I sought the truth, and became a confirming truth;
And by the like truth they shall possess the highest place like me

Satan the Great!


THE STORY REVEALED


































Many of us have heard and read stories about this elusive figure
that they call Satan.
Religious people, zealots and ignorants alike have a lot in common: They believe blindly in the demonization of Satan, the Lord of Justice. The prosecutor who is said to preside over the court of G-d.

He has been called:
Lucifer
Azazel
Samael
Shaytan
Evil one
Fallen one
Satan
Iblis
Beelzebub
Baphomet
Unclean one
...etc

But none of these names give justice to this phenomenal character that we all call Satan.
I will start with the first time that Iblis is mentioned in the Qu'ran (as this is to prove to Muslims how phenomenal Satan truly is) and will be his defender, for Iblis is honorable, truthful, mischievious, smart and wise!


Al-Baqara 2:34

And behold, We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam:" and they bowed down: not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: he was of those who reject Faith.

Here is Allah's FIRST INSULT towards Iblis. Calling him a rejector of faith, simply because he wouldn't bow down to a MAN.

Al-Hijr 15 [28]

Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;

[29] "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."

[30] So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:

[31] Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.

[32] (Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"

[33] (Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."

Here Iblis is stating his reason. He is not one to prostrate to man, as Iblis is SUPERIOR to man.

[34] (Allah) said: "Then get thee out from here: for thou art rejected, accursed.

Here Allah CURSES and REJECTS his own creation for not bowing to a MAN made of clay.

[35] "And the Curse shall be on thee till the Day of Judgment."

Again, Allah exaggerates his punishment for his EGO being hurt, and CURSES Iblis again for the second time. Iblis so far has not cursed anyone.
[36] (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are raised."

[37] (Allah) said: "Respite is granted thee,

[38] "Till the Day of the Time Appointed."

[39] (Iblis) said: "O my Lord! because Thou hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth, and I will put them all in the wrong

Here we see Iblis telling Allah to give him respite until the day the dead are raised (Which is never.. clever Iblis!!) And Allah AGREES to it!
Not only Allah agrees to it IMMEDIATELY, making a mockery of his own punishment to Iblis, but he is also intimidated by Iblis, when Iblis says that because ALLAH has put him (Iblis) in the wrong, i.e. DECEIVED HIM, he will put everyone in the wrong too.

[40] "Except Thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy grace)."

Iblis tells Allah that he will put everyone in the wrong, EXCEPT for those SERVANTS of Allah, who are SINCERE and PURIFIED by his grace!

[41] (Allah) said: "This (Way of My sincere servants) is indeed a Way that leads straight to Me.

[42] "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."

And here Allah tells Iblis that Iblis shall NOT have any authority over the servants of Allah EXCEPT those "servants" who put themselves in the wrong and follow Iblis' mischiefs.

(One of them is Muhammad).

Points to note:

Allah clearly claims that Iblis will have NO AUTHORITY over his servants, but we will see from the Hadiths, and the Quran (Satanic verses) how Muhammad was under the influence of Satan, thus proving the following:

1. Allah is a liar
2. Allah has no power over Satan
3. Muhammad was a transgressor
4. Iblis does what he wants and still manages to hold positions of the highest power in HEAVEN! (Yes, heaven, not hell! For Iblis presides over the COURT OF G-D, as a judge)!
Muslims claim many things, amongst them is that Iblis was a Jinn, a creature made of fire. and not an Angel.
But Iblis seems to be the ONLY JINN who is always amongst Angels and the one who holds the highest power over them all, even over Allah!

Al-Khaf 18: 50

Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": they bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? and they are enemies to you! evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!

Here the Quran says that Allah told the ANGELS to bow down to Adam (Not to Jinns), and they did, but Iblis did not, for he was a JINN (Therefore the command did not apply to him). Nevertheless, we see Allah criticizing Iblis once again and LYING. "he broke the Command of his Lord".

Iblis did not break the command because he was a JINN, not an Angel, therefore he was 100% correct in not bowing down, as the command was for ANGELS, not Jinns. But unfortunately this miscarriage of justice BY ALLAH, did not stop Allah from insulting Iblis, and treating him with disdain, and a total lack of respect, despite being one of his own creations.
Ibn Humayd gave us about the same account again, reporting from Salamah- Ibn Ishaq- Khallad b. `Ata'- Tawus or Abu al-Hajjaj Mujahid- Ibn `Abbas, and others.
However, he said: (Iblis) was an angel named Azazil. He was one of the dwellers and cultivators on earth. The dwellers on earth from among the angel used to be called jinn." (Ibid., p. 254)

Iblis' name was in Arabic AZAZIL. In Hebrew he is called AZAZEL, and G-d honors him.
The Torah tells us that G-d tells the Hebrews to always send a FREE GOAT to the deserts whenever they sacrifice, as a gift for Azazel. G-d tells the Hebrews that Azazel's gift must be a goat set free in the desert and NOT KILLED. But G-d's gifts are KILLED as sacrifices.

This means that G-d is only happy with the shedding of blood, and requires killing sacrifices. But Iblis/Azazel does not. He prefers that creatures be set free as a gift to honor him! How beautiful is that?

Ancient Hebrew/Jewish ritual for YHVH and AZAZEL:

In Lev. xvi. the single allusion to Azazel is as follows:

On the tenth day of Tishri (see Atonement Day) the high priest, after first performing the prescribed sacrifices for himself and his family, presented the victims for the sins of the people. These were a ram for a burnt offering, and two young goats for a sin-offering. Having brought the goats before Yhwh at the door of the tabernacle, he cast lots for them, the one lot "for Yhwh" and the other "for Azazel." The goat that fell to Yhwh was slain as a sin-offering for the people.

But the goat of Azazel (now usually known as the "scapegoat") was made the subject of a more striking ceremony. The high priest laid his hands upon its head and confessed over it the sins of the people. Then the victim was handed over to a man standing ready for the purpose, and, laden as it was with these imputed sins, it was "led forth to an isolated region," and then let go in the wilderness.

So now we have seen that even G-d HONORS Iblis/Azazel with sacrifices.
Funny that, because most of the people think that G-d hates Satan, and that he is G-d's enemy. Obviously this is not the case. In fact, Satan is G-d's best friend, as he has kept him in business all these years!

Continuing with the SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE that G-d honors Satan:

The two goats on Yom Kippur; the mitzvah is for them to be identical in appearance, size, and value, the two shall be chosen together. (Talmud - Yoma 62a)

The Talmud teaches that these two goats should look identical -- like twins. This seems strange. Why would the goats need to be identical, especially when their purpose is so different? (Perhaps because Satan is the TWIN of G-d?)

The origin of the two goats themselves is found in that famous episode when Jacob (Yaqub) is persuaded by his mother to dress up like his brother. Rebecca (his wife) instructs him:

"Go now to the herd and bring me two good goats..." (Genesis 27:9)

Two GOOD goats she says. So one for the sacrifice to YHVH and one to be set FREE for Azazel.

Just a small note:

Azazel means: "G-d strengthens" from Hebrew root AZAZ. So in fact Iblis seems to be a very strong character who is fully worthy of sacrifices, not killed sacrifices, but living ones, and the "GOAT FOR AZAZEL" is always offered together with the goat to YHVH.

Satan as he first appears in the Hebrew Bible, is not necessarily evil, much less opposed to G-d.
On the contrary, he appears in the book of Numbers and in Job as one of G-d’s obedient servants – a messenger, or angel, a word that translates the Hebrew term for messenger mal’akh into Greek angelos.

In Hebrew, the angels were called ‘sons of G-d’ Bnei Elohim, and were envisioned as the hierarchical ranks of a great army, or the staff of a royal court.

Satan - Merciful to animals

The story of Balaam in the biblical book of Numbers, for example, tells of a man who decided to go where G-d had ordered him not to go.

Balaam saddled his ass and set off, ‘but G-d’s anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of the Lord took his stand in the road as his Satan’ that is, as his adversary, or his obstructor.

This supernatural messenger remained invisible to Balaam, but the ass saw him and stopped in her tracks … [22:23-25 follows]

The third time the ass saw the obstructing angel, she stopped and lay down under Balaam, ‘and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he struck the ass with his staff.’

Then, the story continues [22:28-30 follows] … Then ‘the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, with his drawn sword in his hand, and he bowed his head and fell on his face.’ Then the satan rebukes Balaam, and speaks for his master, the Lord:

‘Why have you struck your ass three times? Behold, I came here to oppose you, because your way is evil in my eyes; and the ass saw me. … If she had not turned away from me, I would surely have killed you right then, and let her live’ (22:31-33).

Here is Satan rebuking Balaam for HITTING his she-donkey!!

Now, can you see that SATAN is merciful? Iblis is more merciful than Allah indeed!

Points to note now:

1. Iblis prefers FREE animals as a sacrifice. G-d wants them bleeding and DEAD.
2. Iblis is merciful. Allah is not.

Satan in the book of Job

The book of Job, too, describes the satan as a supernatural messenger, a member of G-d’s royal court. But while Balaam’s satan protects him from harm, Job’s satan takes a more adversarial role.

Here the Lord himself admits that the satan incited him to act against Job (2:3).

How can SATAN have so much influence over G-d in order to make G-d hurt his own creations?

The story begins when satan appears as an angel, a ‘son of G-d’ - Bnei Elohim, a term that, in Hebrew idiom, often means ‘one of the divine beings.’ Here this angel, satan, comes with the rest of the heavenly host on the day appointed for them to ‘present themselves before the Lord.’

When the Lord asks whence he comes, satan answers, ‘From roaming on the earth, and walking up and down on it.’

Point to note: G-d is supposed to KNOW everything, so why did he ask Satan where he has been? lol!
Also, as you can see, Satan was NOT confined to hell or in chains, he was ROAMING the Earth, free as a bird.

Here the storyteller gives the idea that satan’s special role in the heavenly court is that of a kind of roving intelligence agent, like the secret police and intelligence officers.

Here satan terrifies and harms a person but, like the angel of death, remains an angel, a member of the heavenly court, G-d’s obedient servant.

It does not matter what Satan does, he is always doing what he is supposed to do. He encourages G-d to hurt some, he saves the ones he wills, and he prosecutes the ones he does not approve of. And G-d ALWAYS accepts his judgments, because Satan is his spy, and his mischievous best friend.
I mention TOBIT Chapter 12, where we have an Angel that serves Iblis and does his job when he is busy. His name is RAPHAEL, whose name means: G-d has healed.

The story goes that Tobit was a righteous man and always did the right things. I quote from the Bible:

{1:19} Every day, Tobit traveled though all his own people, and he consoled them, and he distributed to each one as much as he could from his resources.

{1:20} He nourished the hungry, and he supplied clothes to the naked, and he showed concern for the burial of the dead and of the slain.

{1:21} And then, when king Sennacherib had returned from Judea, fleeing the scourge which God had caused all around him because of his blasphemy, and, being angry, he was slaughtering many from the sons of Israel, Tobit buried their bodies.

{1:22} And when it was reported to the king, he ordered him to be slain, and he took away all his belongings.

{1:23} In truth, Tobit, fleeing with nothing but his son and his wife, was able to remain hidden because many loved him.

{1:24} In truth, after forty-five days, the king was slain by his own sons,

{1:25} and Tobit was able to return to his house, and all his resources were restored to him.

The story is here for the ones who are interested: Please read it all, it is really interesting!

But I am coming to the point now:

See how G-d was BAD towards Tobit:

{2:10} But it happened one day, being tired from burying the dead, he came into his house, and he threw himself down next to the wall, and he slept.

{2:11} And, as he was sleeping, warm droppings from a swallow’s nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind.

{2:12} And so the Lord permitted this trial to befall him, in order that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, which is even like that of holy Job.
So, Tobit was a good man, always putting his life at risk to bury the dead, and one day, he becomes blind and G-d ALLOWS IT, in order to TEST his patience!

Are you following? See how EVIL this G-d is, as he should already KNOW IT ALL, but obviously he does not.

The story continues:

{2:19} In truth, his wife Anna went out to weaving work daily, and she brought back the provisions that she was able to obtain by the labor of her hands.

{2:20} Whereupon it happened that, having received a young goat, she brought it home.

{2:21} When her husband heard the sound of its bleating, he said, “Look, so that it might not be stolen, return it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat, or to touch, anything stolen.”

{2:22} At this, his wife, being angry, answered, “Clearly, your hope has become vanity, and the manner of your almsgiving has become apparent.”

{2:23} And with these and other similar such words, she reproached him.

Here we see a case of DISCORD at home. Because Tobit became BLIND, and G-d allowed it, his wife had to work very hard in order to obtain FOOD.

You can read the verses in between as i am jumping a few to make a point

{3:7} And so, on the same day, it happened that Sarah, the daughter of Raguel, in Rages, a city of the Medes, also heard a reproach from one of her father’s servant maids.

{3:8} For she had been given to seven husbands, and a demon named Asmodeus had killed them, as soon as they had approached her.

Here we see that the Bible does NOT condemn a woman for having 7 husbands!
Read the verses after that.. and ..

{5:5} Then Tobias, departing, found a splendid young man, standing girded and seemingly ready for travel.

{5:6} And not knowing that he was an Angel of G-d, he greeted him, and he said, “Where are you from, good young man?”

{5:7} And so he answered, “From the sons of Israel.” And Tobias said to him, “Do you know the way that leads to the region of the Medes?”

......

{12:13} And because you were acceptable to G-d, it was necessary for you to be tested by trials.

{12:14} And now, the Lord has sent me to cure you, and to free Sarah, your son’s wife, from the demon.

{12:15} For I am the Angel Raphael, one of seven, who stand before the Lord.”

The link will tell the whole story, but the point in this one is that RAFAEL (Raphael) is one of the Angels who work for IBLIS / SATAN. Iblis being the Archangel.
Thus he commands these Angels to test mankind but he is MERCIFUL and always tells his angels to teach the right thing.

Iblis is superior. Jinns are superior.
Besides, it was Allah who DECEIVED him (Iblis) and punished him for obeying his first command: "Do not bow to anything but me!"

Al-Haj 26

Behold! We gave the site, to Abraham, of the (Sacred) House, (saying):
"Associate not anything (in worship) with Me; and sanctify My House for those who compass it round, or stand up, or bow, or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).

Therefore BOWING to MAN is associating him with WORSHIP.

Allah is most deceiving. Allah has given UNLAWFUL commands to Angels, and to Iblis, and for this error, he is suffering the constant bullying and mischiefs of Iblis, for Allah has NO POWER over Iblis. He cannot stop him.

Iblis is an angel who does the works of G-d, therefore he is G-d's helper.

Muslims blame their weaknesses on Satan, and if this is so, it means they are under his influence. Thus if they are under his influence they are not the servants of Allah, for Allah said:

[42] "For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."

This means that Muslims who are under the influence of Iblis are the ones who DELIBERATELY put themselves in the wrong.

That means: Muhammad, Ali, and all the rest of his gang, and also the rest of the Muslims world who commits violence and other atrocities.

Genesis:

2:16 God gave the man a commandment, saying, 'You may definitely eat from every tree of the garden.

2:17 But from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, do not eat, for on the day you eat from it, you will definitely die.'

So here we have the CLASSIC LIE and the DECEIT of G-D.
1. Reversed psychology.

G-d used reversed psychology (he should have known better, one would think) and pointed to the INNOCENT HUMANS the very tree they were not supposed to eat from. And it not a very important tree, it was just a tree of GOOD AND EVIL. This meant G-d DID NOT WANT Humans to be aware of GOOD or EVIL.

WHY??? We will soon know why.

But that's not all. He also LIED. He told the humans that ON THE DAY they eat from it, they would DIE. (Surely a lie, because they did not die).

Now let's continue:

Genesis

3:1 The serpent was the most cunning of all the wild beasts that God had made. [The serpent] asked the woman, 'Did God really say that you may not eat from any of the trees of the garden?'

3:2 The woman replied to the serpent, 'We may eat from the fruit of the trees of the garden.

3:3 But of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God said, 'Do not eat it, and do not [even] touch it, or else you will die.' '

3:4 The serpent said to the woman, 'You will certainly not die!

3:5 Really, God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'
______________________

Points to note:

a) G-d created the serpent as THE MOST CUNNING OF ALL THE WILD BEASTS.

b) The serpent told the woman SHE WOULD NOT DIE if she ate from the tree.

c) The serpent TOLD EVE THE TRUTH. And the truth was:

God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'
____________________________

Now, WHO is the cunning one?
Who lied??

More points to make:

1. The garden was a huge place, but the serpent was at the right place at the right time. (Strange.. G-d could NOT stop the serpent, could he?)

2. The serpent HEARD what G-d said (But it seems G-d was not aware of its presence).

3. The serpent KNEW about GOOD and EVIL, and it also knew that G-d was HIDING this from the humans.

4. If the serpent was cunning (No, the most cunning) of all the beasts, it means that it too knew GOOD and EVIL, and obviously it too ate from that tree, and G-d did NOTHING.

After that, the whole story is flawed.

Humans eat the fruit, humans realize they were naked (which is rubbish, because nakedness was not a shameful thing, and if it was, G-d himself is guilty of making it shameful), then they HEAR G-D'S VOICE, and G-d ASKS where they were hiding.

It means, G-d did not even know where they were!!

Let's see.. what does it take to BE LIKE G-D? Ahh, just to know GOOD and EVIL. Then you are LIKE G-D. So the serpent has told us the characteristic of this G-d, and from where I am standing, he surely does not seem too different from us. We know GOOD and EVIL, so WE are like G-d.

After all, we were created "at their image, after their likeness"

WHO IS G-D then?? If we were created at their image and after their likeness, it means we look like them. We don't necessarily have to behave like them, as it says nothing about behaviour. We were after all, created LIKE them, but not totally from them. They added their ESSENCE to the essence of Earthlings, or walking apes.

THIS VERY STORY was SUMERIAN, written 4,000 years before the Torah was written.

Would you believe if I told you that the Sumerians tell us that their G-Ds are actually beings from another planet, that came from the heavens in their spacecrafts?

It's all true. This is precisely what they told us. They are called ANUNNAKI. (Those who from heaven to earth came).

Now, whether we believe or not, is another story, but they tell us just that. And there is no need to interpret anything, just read and enjoy the read, for you shall find many mysterious things there, and they will open your eyes, like the fruit Adam and Eve have eaten.

So, in reality these "beings" were "divine" if you like to call them that, and obviously a hell of a lot wiser and more knowledgeable than the humans THEY CREATED. In fact it was the GODDESS NINMAH. (Not a man, not a G-d, but a GODDESS).

She was a GENETICIST. She performed GENETICAL MANIPULATION, DNA CLONING and was a doctor.

Now, how is that for a people who lived around 6,000 BC?

Then, 4,000 years later comes the Hebrew tribe and they create their own stories COPYING every single thing (Genesis) from their book.

The rest of the Torah is NOT copied. Some of it is true Historical accounts, and although many of the events were true, they DID NOT apply to the Hebrew people to a certain degree.

Anyway... I don't want to destroy your faith or belief, so believe in what you want.

Now, that is NOT to say the whole Torah is false. NO WAY. Because it is NOT.

In fact the stories (most of them) are really true. The only difference is that they did not apply exclusively to the JEWS. The Jews were merely telling Sumerian stories of creation, and then they MERGED these stories with their own stories.

Now, whoever interpreted these stories was an idiot, because the information contained in the Torah is a goldmine for those who are truly capable to understand it, to read it, WITHOUT making the mistake of interpreting it.

Many have learned the INTERPRETED Torah, therefore although you may know what it says, you do not comprehend, and instead of accepting the stories, you search to TWIST their meanings to make these things sound as if they were bad.

The Snake was HONEST. He said the truth. (His name was ENKI. He was the G-d Enki of the Sumerians.)

G-d himself was ENLIL (Brother of Enki).

Enlil was the leader of the G-ds (say the CEO). Enki, despite being older was the second in command, because his real job was to be a GENETICIST, amongst other things, like THEIR SISTER, NINMAH.

ENKI, ENLIL & NINMAH = Brothers and sister, the ones in command of the Earth Mission.

These were OUR first G-ds.

Monotheism only started when these g-ds fell out with one another.
