Yazdâan is the endonym for the [[Harranians]] and should be merged with that page.
 
'''Yazdânism''' or '''Cult of Angels''' (also '''Yazdâni''' or '''Yazdanism''') is a modern term for the monotheistic, though universalist, religion that was practiced by most Kurds up to the Islamisation during the sixteenth century. Yazdânism involved a belief in incarnation as well as 7 angelic beings which defend the world from their equal and opposite number. In Kurdistan a fair estimate still claims Yazdanists being close to one third of the population. They are the ''[[Sabians]]'' of Harran described in [[Maimonides]]' ''Guide for the Perplexed'' and mentioned in Bahá'í writings and in the Qur'an as ''Sabeans''. The name ''Yazdânism'' derives from the Persian language word ''Yazdân'', or ''E-zad'', meaning god .
