Ahura Mazda (Zoroastrian Supreme deity)

Ahura Mazda is the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, founded in ancient Persia. Representing wisdom and light, Ahura Mazda embodies all that is good and serves as the creator of the universe, promoting truth and order (Asha). Zoroastrians believe in the constant struggle between Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, the spirit of chaos and deceit. Followers are encouraged to choose good thoughts, words, and deeds to align with Ahura Mazda's divine will, aiming for a harmonious existence and ultimately, a better world.
