Zoroastrianism, the most important ancient Iranian religion, is still practiced today. It was originally developed in Iran during the seventh century B.C. Later, it became the official religion of the Sassanid Empire, which ruled over Iran for about four centuries before being conquered by the Arabs in the seventh century A.D.
After Iran’s incorporation into the Islamic empire, the majority of its population was gradually converted from Zoroastrianism to Islam.
Zoroastrianism is based on a belief in the constant struggle between Ahura Mazda, the source of all goodness, purity and light, and Ahriman, the source of all evil and darkness. The conflict continues till finally goodness overcomes evil.
In fact, this world exists only as a stage for this important struggle and all human acts have a moral character which bears upon this cosmic battle.
Iranian Zoroastrians are mainly concentrated in Tehran, Kerman and Yazd.
