"Melek Taus (in Arabic: "طاووس ملك", Kurdish: Tawusê Melek), also spelled Malik Tous, translated in English as Peacock Angel, is one of the central figures of Yazidi religion. In Yazidi creation stories, God created the world and entrusted it to the care of seven Holy Beings, often known as Angels or heft sirr, preeminent of which is Tawûsê Melek, the Peacock Angel".
Melek-Taus or Tuvusi-Malak personifies the two sides of fire - fire as a life-giving light, and, fire as a destructive heat, that is both Good and Evil. This dual nature is hinted at by his name, which literally means: Tav - Sun (Light), U - and, Si - Shadow, Malak - Archangel, - "Archangel of Light and Shadow".
Yazidis believe that good and evil both exist in the mind and spirit of human beings. It depends on the humans, themselves, as to which they choose. In this process, their devotion to Tawûsê Melek is essential, since it was he who was given the same choice between good and evil by God, and chose the good.
Tawûsê Melek is sometimes transliterated Malak Ta'us, Malak Tawus, or Malik Taws. Melek was borrowed from the Arabic term meaning “king” or “angel”. Tawûs is translated as “peacock”. In the ancient east, especially later in Sufism, the peacock was a symbol of beauty, pride and wisdom. In the Yezidis the peacock means sun, wisdom, beauty, variety and harmony.
