Abstract

The debate on whether Zoroastrian teachings and Zoroastrian religion are mystical among researchers of ancient Iranian religions has been a controversial issue. Some researchers, both Iranian and much less non-Iranian, believe in the mysticism of Zoroastrian teachings and Zoroastrian religion. They believe in mystical and esoteric interpretations of the Avesta (especially Gahan) and other Zoroastrian texts and have followed this Zoroastrian mystical view in the works of famous and great people such as Ferdowsi, Sheikh Eshraq, Rumi, etc. Using the descriptive-analytical method, in this article, their claims and their reasons are mentioned first; Then, citing the Avesta text and the opinions of prominent researchers, the view that the Zoroastrian religion has mystical and monotheistic foundations in the field of theology and cosmology is criticized and rejected; Then it is shown with analyzes that this religion lacks mystical elements in the field of practical mysticism. Naturally, by rejecting the monotheism and mysticism of Zoroastrian religion, its relationship with islamic mysticism and monotheism will also be of a kind of contradiction.
