Core Principles of the Faith
Ahura Mazda (The Supreme Creator)
Zoroastrianism is strictly monotheistic. God is worshiped as Ahura Mazda, meaning the 'Wise Lord'. He is the ultimate source of all goodness, truth, light, and wisdom in the universe.
Asha (Cosmic Order & Truth)
Asha is the foundational law of righteousness, cosmic order, and ultimate truth. Living in accordance with Asha means maintaining natural balance, honesty, and moral integrity.
Dualism (Good vs. Evil)
The universe involves a moral battle between Spenta Mainyu (the holy, creative spirit) and Angra Mainyu (the destructive, chaotic spirit). Humanity acts as crucial allies to overcome evil through righteousness.
Free Will and Choice
Humans are endowed with rational thinking and complete free will. Every individual is completely responsible for choosing their path—either contributing to cosmic order or supporting chaos.
Sacred Fire (Atar)
Fire is not worshiped as a god, but acts as the supreme symbol of Ahura Mazda’s presence, absolute purity, energy, and the light of truth inside every living being.
Respect for Nature
Zoroastrianism deeply values ecological sanctity. Defiling pure natural elements—such as water, soil, air, and vegetation—is considered an act against the divine design.
