=== Yazidism ===
In [[Yazidism]], the angel [[Sheikh Shems|Şêşims]] is venerated as the [[List of Yazidi holy figures|Xudan]] or Lord of sun and light. He is also linked with [[Fire worship|fire]], which is his terrestrial counterpart, and [[oath]]s, which are sworn by the doorway of his shrine. Annually, during the [[Feast of the Assembly]], a ceremonial bull sacrifice is performed in front of his shrine at [[Lalish]].<ref>{{Cite report |last1=Fobbe, Sean |last2=Navrouzov, Natia |last3=Hopper, Kristen |last4=Khudida Burjus, Ahmed |last5=Philip, Graham |last6=Nawaf, Maher G |last7=Lawrence, Daniel |last8=Walasek, Helen |last9=Birjandian, Sara |last10=Ali, Majid Hassan |last11=Rashidani, Salim |date=2019-08-02 |title=Destroying the Soul of the Yazidis: Cultural Heritage Destruction during the Islamic State's Genocide against the Yazidis |url=https://zenodo.org/record/3826126 |journal= |language=en |pages=55–109 |doi=10.5281/zenodo.3826126}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Murad |first=Jasim Elias |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WdTxtgAACAAJ |title=The Sacred Poems of the Yazidis: An Anthropological Approach |date=1993 |publisher=University of California, Los Angeles |pages=313–326 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Kreyenbroek |first=Philip G. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OTQqAQAAMAAJ |title=Yezidism--its Background, Observances, and Textual Tradition |date=1995 |publisher=E.

There are daily Yazidi prayers that are recited during the daytime, divided into three main phases of the day, the morning prayers include "Dua Şifaqê" (the dawn prayer), "Dua Sibê" (the morning prayer), "Duaya Rojhelatî" (the sunrise prayer). For the noon there is "Dua Nîvro" (the noon prayer) and at evening there is the "Duaya Hêvarî" (the evening prayer).<ref name="Aysif-2021" />
