| | Ahura Mazda |
 | | Ahura Mazdah was the god of prophetic revelation, and bore both Ahriman and Ormazd. | | | In Persian belief, Ahura Mazdah ("Lord Wisdom") was the supreme god, he who created the heavens and the Earth, and another son of Zurvan. | | | As leader of the Heavenly Host, the Amesha Spentas, he battles Ahriman and his followers to rid the world of evil, darkness and deceit. |

| | Ahura Mazda |
| | Ahura Mazda is not the only god in the universe of Zoroastrianism, and he is not the sole creator of the world. | | | While there are historical sources indicating that Ahura Mazda comes from indo-iranian religions, in which there were two categories of gods, ahuras and daivas, Ahura Mazda only appears in connection with Zoroastrianism, the religion that has its origins in the preaching of Zarathustra, around 600 BCE. | | | The former is the holy spirit, the latter, the destructive one, and is also known as Ahriman. |

| | Who Are We Zoroastrians? |
| | Ahura Mazda, he taught, was a friend to all and never to be feared by man, who in turn should worship Him. | | | Ahura Mazda knew that Anghra Mainyu, because of his inherently destructive nature and ignorance, would attack the material world bringing within it disorder, falsehood, wickedness, sorrow, cruelty, disease, suffering and death. | | | The prophet Zarathushtra, in his sublime hymns, the Gathas, revealed to mankind that there was the One, Supreme, All-Knowing, Eternal God of the good creations---Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Wisdom, who was wholly Wise, Good and Just. |

| | TEMPLE OF ZOROASTER |
| | Confident in the truth revealed to him by Ahura Mazda, Zoroaster apparently did not try to overthrow belief in the older Iranian religion, which was polytheistic; he did, however, place Ahura Mazda at the centre of a kingdom of justice that promised immortality and bliss. | | | Having received a vision from Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, who appointed him to preach the truth, Zoroaster apparently was opposed in his teachings by the civil and religious authorities in the area in which he preached. | | | Zoroaster rejected the cults of all the gods except one ahura, Ahura Mazda, the "Wise Lord." It is not certain that Zoroaster was the first to proclaim Ahura Mazda. |

| | Zoroastrianism |
| | Zoroastrianism is a religion of absolute faith and unswerving devotion to Ahura Mazda. | | | Sacred fire in the altar of a temple is a symbol that reminds the Parsee of the glory of Ahura Mazda. | | | The prophet of Iran preached that all that is good and beneficial to mankind is the creation of Ahura Mazda and everything that is malignant is the creation of Ahriman or Satan. |

| | Zoroastrianism, Zoroaster, Zarathusthra, Zarathustra |
| | The worship of the ahuras (lords) may have reflected the practice of the pastoral upper classes, and tradition holds that Zoroaster was born into a family that worshiped only the ahuras. | | | The message of the prophet, however, was that Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, was the sole creator and lord of the world and that the worship of the daevas was the worship of evil. | | | Two groups of gods were worshiped, the ahuras and the daevas. |

| | Ahura Mazda revealed his eternal law to the prophet Zarathushtra in the Gathas; he proclaimed the law of consequences and the reality of life hereafter, and he prescribed true happiness ( Ushta) for the righteous. | | | The dignity, spirituality and privity of Ahura Mazda, presented by Asho Zarathushtra was an innovation in the ancient world. | | | The term Ahura Mazda signifies the Lord of both celestial and terrestrial worlds. |

| | Ahura Mazda offered Ahriman peace if Ahriman would worship the good things Ahura Mazda created, but Ahriman refused, and Ahura Mazda showed Ahriman his inevitable fate. | | | Ahriman is thought to be the first personification of "the Devil" because Zoroastrians believed in a completely dualistic form of religion. | | | Ahriman himself then 'rushed forth from the regions of the North to lure away the Prophet from the path of righteousness,' but the prophet resisted the temptation and affirmed that he would never do the bidding of Ahriman. |

| | Traditional Zoroastrianism: Tenets of the Religion |
| | The Zarathushtri religion was the first to proclaim that Ahura Mazda will send the Saoshyant, born of a virgin, and many other religions took on this belief. | | | For the Zarathushtri, ethnic identity and religion are synonymous, as declared in the Vendidad by Ahura Mazda Himself - the Mazdayasni faith was revealed by Ahura to the Aryans under King Jamshed, thousands of years before Zarathushtra, and was meant only for the Aryans of Iran. | | | Marrying, Zarathushtri man or woman, to a Zarathushtri only is commanded in our religion in the Vendidad, to preserve the spiritual strength of the Aryan Mazdayasni religion, and the ethnic identity of the Zarathushtri Aryans. |
