azerbaijan religion

Zoroastrianism has a number of important beliefs. One is the belief that all God's creations are pure. Zoroastrians don't destroy forests or 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. Fravashi, which is a spiritual element, is believed to be a part of every human being. This element is capable of healing, warding off evil, and inspiring piety in people.

Ahura Mazda, Zoroastrianism’s highest deity, is Ahura Mazda. He is also the Yasna's first spirit. His name means "wisdom." While the religion's beliefs can seem contradictory, there are also similarities.

Dualism

Persia was the first to demonstrate dualism. Zoroastrianism also has some examples. In his work, the renowned philosopher zoroaster explained that dualism is an important philosophical principle. Dualism is a Zoroastrianism concept that relates ontological as well as ethical questions.

The form of dualist monotheism that Early Zoroastrianism was called is known as early Zoroastrianism. The belief system has also 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.

To oppose evil

Zoroastrianism holds that it is a person's responsibility to fight evil. The religion emphasizes social justice and human rights. It believes that humans are fellow workers in the struggle against evil and must therefore treat others with care. They also believe that all humans are born free and will be punished in the afterlife if they do not fulfill their religious duty.


Zoroastrianism’s cosmology is based on the belief that there are good and bad. In the universe, the powers Ahura Maka and Angra Mainyu are at odds. Ahura Mazda is the god light and wisdom in the world. Angra Majoryu is the god evil and destruction. Zoroastrians believe the god Ahura Mazda protects all things from evil. However, Angra Mainyu, the evil force that causes destruction and other natural disasters on the planet, is believed to be responsible.

Care for the environment

Zoroastrianism believes that the responsibility to care for the well-being of others is an integral part of one's life. It emphasizes the importance of doing good, avoiding sin and ensuring the world's prosperity. It also stresses the need to take care of the land and care for children. This is how a person fulfills his or her responsibility for the good of the entire world.

There are two fundamental principles to Zoroastrianism. The Ahura Mazda is the creator of all things and is all good. And the Ankhra Mainyu is the evil deity and opposite to Ahura Mak. The history is a struggle between good and wicked. A vision also shows Ahura Mazda appearing to Zoroaster.

Charitable giving

Zoroastrianism, a religion of charity giving and benevolence, is Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrians left legacies in the Sasanian period to sacred fires, pious foundations, and other charitable causes. They registered their foundations to Muslim authorities as waqfs. These foundations became legally inalienable. Administrators were entitled to a part of the income.

The faith says that everyone has the responsibility to help those who are in greatest need. Charitable acts can be a way to forgive sins and help the soul. Pursisniha 44 states that the soul of a charity person is elevated in heaven.
