Parsis, followers of Zoroastrianism, do not believe in Allah. They revere Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in their religion.
While both Zoroastrianism and Islam are monotheistic religions originating in the Middle East, they have distinct beliefs and practices. Here are some key differences:
- Supreme Deity: Zoroastrians worship Ahura Mazda, while Muslims believe in Allah.
- Prophets: Zoroastrians recognize Zoroaster as their prophet, while Muslims believe in Muhammad as their final prophet.
- Holy Book: The Zoroastrian holy book is the Avesta, while the Quran is the holy book of Islam.
- Practices: Zoroastrianism emphasizes fire worship and the concept of good versus evil, while Islam focuses on prayer, fasting, and charity.
The Parsis have maintained their distinct religious identity for centuries, holding onto their beliefs and practices despite facing challenges and conversions throughout history.
