Dr Zakir Naik. DA'WAH TO ZOROASTRIANS (PARSIS)

God in Zoroastrianism is known as ‘Ahura Mazda’. ‘Ahura’
means ‘the Lord’ or 'The Master' and ‘Mazda’ means ‘the
 Wise’; hence ‘Ahura Mazda’ means ‘the Wise Lord’ or ‘the
Wise God’. Ahura Mazda stands for God, in a strictly
 monotheistic sense.


Qualities of God according to the Dasatir:

According to the Dasatir, Ahura Mazda has the following qualities:


  • He is One.
  • He is without an origin or end.
  • He has no father or mother, wife or son.
  • He is without a body or form.
  • Nothing resembles Him.
  • Neither the eye can behold Him, nor the power of thinking can conceive him.
  • He is above all that you can imagine.
  • He is nearer to you than your own self.
Qualities of God according to Avesta
According to the Avesta, the Gathas and the Yasna give various 
characteristics to Ahura Mazda such as:

Thus, in Zoroastrianism too, we find a concept of an eternal, omnipotent God. Several verses of
 Yasna praise the Lord as a Bountiful Creator.
