Christian/Muslim ThreadsThe 99 names of God, another Persian belief taken by IslamPeace zampeada, So will you admit to me that Allah is the same god as Ahura Mazda? You may find this selection from Zoroastrian scripture quite interesting: Khorda Avesta 1 5. Then Zarathushtra said: 'Reveal unto me that name of thine, O Ahura Mazda! that is the greatest, the best, the fairest, the most effective, the most fiend-smiting, the best-healing, that destroyeth best the malice of Daevas and Men; 6. 'That I may afflict all Daevas and Men; that I may afflict all Yatus and Pairikas; that neither Daevas nor Men may be able to afflict me; neither Yatus nor Pairikas.' 7. Ahura Mazda replied unto him: 'My name is the One of whom questions are asked, O holy Zarathushtra! 'My second name is the Herd-giver 'My third name is the Strong One 'My fourth name is Perfect Holiness . 'My fifth name is All good things created by Mazda, the offspring of the holy principle.

'And he who in this material world, O Spitama Zarathushtra! shall recite and pronounce those names of mine either by day or by night; Muhammed wrote down what some angelic being todl him, because God Hismelf did not come down to him and converse with Him like God did with ALL of the prophets. There is some very strange things about your faith. How can the Trinity be fabricated if it's plainly in the Bible? Anyways, here are some other things the Quran and Avesta have in common, Khorda Avesta 8 10. 'We sacrifice unto Tishtrya (Sirius), the bright and glorious star, who spoke unto Ahura Mazda, saying: "Ahura Mazda, most beneficent Spirit, Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! 11. 'I, O Spitama Zarathushtra! have created that star Tishtrya(Sirius) as worthy of sacrifice, as worthy of prayer, as worthy of progitiation, as worthy of glorification as myself, Ahura Mazda; [53.49] And that He is the Lord of the Sirius; [37.5] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts. [37.6] Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars, [37.7] And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan. [37.8] They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side, [37.9] Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement, CHAPTER 49. 1. The sage asked the spirit of wisdom (2) thus: 'As to these stars which are apparent in the sky, and their number is so great, what is then their duty and influence? 3. And how is the motion of the sun and moon and stars?' 12. 'And the star Vanand is entrusted with the passes and gates of Alburz; (13) so that the demons and witches and fiends may turn from those gates and passes, (14) that it may not be possible for them to cut off and break up the road and passage of the sun and moon and stars. 15. 'And the star Haptoring, with 99,999 guardian spirits of the righteous, is entrusted with the gate and passage of hell, (16) for the keeping back of those 99,999 demons and fiends, witches and wizards, who are in opposition to the celestial sphere and constellations of the zodiac. 22. 'The remaining unnumbered and innumerable constellations which are apparent are said to be the guardian spirits of the worldly existences. 23. Because, as to the creatures and creations of every kind, that the creator Ohrmazd created for the worldly existence, which are procreative and also which are developable (arodishnik), for every single body there is apparent its own single guardian spirit of a like nature. This is all fabricated beliefs that were never a part of Zoroastrianism until the Sassinian times. Modern Zoroastrians will often dismiss this as myth. But you and the later Persians believe that guardian spirits live on stars and they keep demons from entering heaven and our world. |
