Zoroastrianism
In the religion of Zoroastrianism, it is generally believed that the ancient Iranian Prophet Zarathustra lived between 1500 and 1000 BC. Before Zarathustra, the Persians used to worship the gods of the old Iran-Aryan religion. But Zarathustra condemned all these practices and he said that God is alone and he is the Lord of Wisdom so he should be worshipped alone, in doing so it is generally believed that He introduced the first monotheistic religion to the world. This is not the only concept that is common between the Zoroastrianism and Abrahamic religion Islam but there are certain other concepts that are also considered to be quite effective and they include the concept of Heaven and Hell, Judgment Day and also the final revelation to the world. The concept of Satan is common between Islam and Zoroastrianism. All these concepts are common between both the Zoroastrianism and Abrahamic religion most specifically Islam.
Although in some of the texts it has been discussed that there are some very prominent similarities between these religions but according to other texts, it has been shown that the similarities or the influence of this particular religion on the Abrahamic religions is debatable. The Abrahamic religions are much older as compared to the Zoroastrianism religion. Also, the concepts of prophets and imams are very common and strong in Abrahamic religions specifically in Islam however in the Zoroastrianism there is no concept of prophets there was only this one prophet who is basically the founder of this religion. Also, the Zoroastrianism is a religion that is only present in Iran and India and the Abrahamic religions are mostly found worldwide with a large number of followers. The books of the Abrahamic religions were revealed much earlier in which the foundation of the religions were mentioned clearly and the Zoroastrianism came after these religions therefore, it is difficult to say that this religion has some impact on the Abrahamic religions.
