Angra Mainyu (Ahriman)

Angra Mainyu, also known as Ahriman, is a figure in Zoroastrianism representing the spirit of chaos, evil, and darkness. He opposes Ahura Mazda, the supreme god symbolizing order and light. In this dualistic belief system, Angra Mainyu embodies all harmful and destructive forces, influencing humanity toward wrongdoing and suffering. Zoroastrian texts depict the ongoing battle between the forces of good (led by Ahura Mazda) and evil (led by Angra Mainyu), illustrating the importance of moral choices and the struggle for righteousness in life. Ultimately, the belief suggests that good will triumph over evil.
