Zarathustra

Zarathustra, also known as Zoroaster, was an ancient Persian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. He lived around the 6th century BCE in what is now Iran. Zoroastrianism emphasizes the duality of good and evil, the importance of individual choice, and the worship of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god. Zarathustra’s teachings focus on moral values, truth-telling, and righteousness. His philosophy influenced other major religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and his ideas on the fight between good and evil continue to resonate in various cultural and spiritual contexts today.
