Zoroastrian influences

Zoroastrian influences are apparent in religions like Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, especially regarding ideas about moral dualism, angels, demons, and the judgment of souls. Zoroaster's teachings emphasized the battle between good and evil, the importance of moral choice, and the eventual triumph of good. Concepts like heaven, hell, and a final judgment, as well as the idea of divine judgment based on deeds, have roots in Zoroastrian tradition. These ideas spread through cultural exchanges in ancient Persia and the Middle East, shaping broader religious and philosophical thought about morality, righteousness, and the afterlife.
