Best Answer

A:

Of course, both religions are monotheistic, with Islam worshipping the Abrahamic God and Zoroastrianism worshipping Ahura Mazda. In addition, Judaism adopted several important concepts from the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians during the Babylonian Exile, and these were in turn passed down to Christianity and then Islam. These concepts include the devil, angels, heaven as a place of reward for the righteous and hell as a place of punishment, and the Day of Judgement. Through later contact, Islam also adopted details of the bridge of judgement (Sarat) and the five times daily prayers.

How is zoroastrianism different from Christianity?

There are many similarities between Christianity and Zoroastrianism, but also some differences.Christians believe in God, whereas followers of Zoroastrianism believe in Ahura Mazda .In Christianity, Jesus has already come, born of a virgin. In Zoroastrianism, the Saoshyant is yet to come, and will be born of a virgin. Both will fight evil at the end times.Fire is sacred in Zoroastrianism, but not in Christianity. Orthodox followers of Zoroastrianism prefer neither to bury their dead in the sacred ground, nor cremate them.


Are the Muslims in Iran following zorastrian tradition?

Zoroastrianism was the main religion of Persia (Iran) before the arrival of Islam. Islam is the religion of Muslims. There are still some followers of Zoroastrianism in Iran as well as in Karachi in Pakistan and Mumbai in India. They are called Parsis. Iranian Muslims now mainly follow the Shia branch of Islam. They do not follow the main traditions of Zoroastrianism. It is possible that the Zoroastrian past of Iran has left some traces in modern Iranian culture.

Zoroastrianism place of origin?

Some scholars, including Mary Boyce, Professor Emerita of Iranian Studies at University of London, conclude that Zoroastrianism began in southern Russia, the area from the Iranian people of today emigrated. Others say that Zoroastrianism may have originated in central Asia, perhaps in Afghanistan. I find the southern Russia origin more persuasive, not only because the Iranian people originated there, and therefore could have brought the religion with them into eastern Iran, but because of similarities between Zoroastrianism and Hinduism, which could also have originated in southern Russia. Zoroastrianism did not reach the Medes and Persians of western Iran until around the eighth century BCE, leading some to believe that the religion originated there.
