Ahura Mazda is the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. According to Zoroastrian beliefs, Ahura Mazda is the creator of the universe and is responsible for all that exists. Ahura Mazda is often depicted as a wise, just, and benevolent deity who is engaged in a cosmic battle with the forces of evil, represented by the deity Angra Mainyu. The ultimate goal of this battle is to bring about the end of the world and the establishment of a new, perfect world in which all people will live in happiness and peace.
Zoroastrians believe that through their thoughts, words, and actions, they can help to bring about this new world and help to advance the cause of Ahura Mazda. The worship of Ahura Mazda is central to Zoroastrianism, and it is believed that by following the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster and living a virtuous life, individuals can earn the favor of Ahura Mazda and attain eternal happiness in the afterlife.
