Question
Melek Taus repented his refusal to perform this action by using his tears to quench Hell for 7,000 years. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this action. Yazidis are accused of devil-worship because the Peacock Angel’s refusal to perform this action out of loyalty to God resembles Iblis’s refusal to perform it out of pride.
ANSWER: bowing before Adam [or prostrating before Adam; accept word forms; prompt on bowing or prostrating by asking “before whom?”]
[10e] Melek Taus refuses to bow before Adam, who is created from this substance. Genesis 3 (“chapter 3”) states “For you are [this substance], and to [this substance] you shall return.”
ANSWER: dust [accept soil or earth or dirt or clay; prompt on ground]
[10m] Due to Melek Taus’s devil-like actions, Islamic law does not regard the Yazidis as these people. This term refers to non-Muslims like Christians and Jews who were inspired by previous revelations.
ANSWER: People of the Book [or Ahl al-kitāb]
