The Zoroastrianism Beliefs



define religion

Zoroastrianism believes in the purity and innocence of all God's creations. Zoroastrians do not destroy forests nor pollute rivers. In fact they are often called "the first ecological religion".

Ahura Mazda

Zoroastrianism has its core concept in Ahura Mazda's manifold immanence. According to the religion, every human being possesses a Fravashi, a spiritual element that embodies God. This element has the ability to heal, ward off evil, and inspire piety in humans.

Ahura Mazda is the highest deity in Zoroastrianism. He is also a Yasna spirit's first spirit. His name means "wisdom." Although some of the beliefs in the religion may seem contradictory or even inconsistent, there are still similarities.

Dualism

Persia was the first to demonstrate dualism. Zoroastrianism also has some examples. The renowned philosopher zoroaster explained in his work that dualism was an important philosophical principle. Zoroastrianism uses dualism to relate ontological and moral questions.

Early Zoroastrianism has been called a form of dualist monotheism. It has been compared to other monotheistic worldviews. One of the most controversial issues is the Angra Mainyu. They are believed to be evil by choice and nature.

It is our duty to resist evil

Zoroastrianism holds that it is a person's responsibility to fight evil. This religion is committed to social justice and the protection of human rights. It believes that humans are fellow laborers in the fight against evil and should treat others with compassion. They believe all human beings are free to choose their religion, and that they will be punished after death.


Zoroastrianism's cosmology affirms the existence of both good and harm. This is because the two powers Ahura Mainyu (the god of light and wisdom) are opposing each other in the universe. In the world, Ahura Mazda is the god of light and wisdom, and Angra Mainyu is the god of evil and destruction. Zoroastrians believe Ahura Mada protects the universe against evil, but Angra Mainyu is responsible to the earth's devastation and natural disasters.

Obligation to take care of the good

Zoroastrianism teaches that a person's duty is to look after the good in their lives. It emphasizes the importance of doing good, avoiding sin and ensuring the world's prosperity. It stresses the importance of taking care of the earth and caring for the children. So, people can take care of their responsibility to the greater good of the planet.

Zoroastrianism is based on two principles. One is Ahura Más, who created the universe and is all goodness, and one is Ankhra Mainyu. Ankhra Mainyu the evil deity is opposite Ahura Más. The history of the world has been a battleground for good and evil. In visions, Ahura Mazda also appears to Zoroaster the prophet.

Charitable giving

Zoroastrianism practices charitable giving. Zoroastrians left legacies in the Sasanian period to sacred fires, pious foundations, and other charitable causes. They registered their foundations in the Muslim authorities as waqfs. The property in these foundations became legally inalienable and the administrators were entitled to a share of the endowment's income.

The faith teaches us that all human beings have a responsibility to help others in need. Charity is a virtue that can make up for sins, and it can also help save souls. Pursisniha 44 states that the soul of a charity person is elevated in heaven.
