The concept of the Afterlife is not explicitly articulated in the syncretic system of Yezidism. The paper is an attempt to reconstruct, as far as possible, the idea of the Hereafter among the Yezidis, based on all available data—popular beliefs, legends about deities, saints and other characters related to the sphere of life after death, as well as certain loci from the Yezidi lore ( Qawl-ū-bayt’ ), containing either direct information on or allusions to the ideas of the Beyond ever existed in the Yezidi tradition
