High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yazdanism is a term introduced by Mehrdad Izady to denote a group of native Kurdish monotheistic religions: Alevism, Yarsan and Yazidism. Izady claims that the Yazdani faiths were the primary religion of the Kurds until their Islamization in the 10th century[page needed]. The three religions of Yazdanism are primarily practiced in relatively isolated communities. The adherents of Alevism, Ahl-e Haqq and Yezidi are estimated to constitute about one-third of the Kurds. According to Izady the principal feature of the Yazdani faiths is the belief in seven benevolent divine beings that defend the world from an equal number of malign entities, even though this concept does not exist in Alevism, but there are 7 spiritual persons in Alevism, which are called "Ulu Ozan". Accordingly, another important feature of the religions is a doctrine of reincarnation. The belief in reincarnation is by the Nusayri (Shamsi Alawi) documented.
