Zoroaster received a revelation from Vohu Manah (Good Thought). Vohu Manah told him to lay aside his material body and as a soul visit Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord). Ahura Mazda then instructed Zoroaster, called now to be a prophet, in the doctrines and duties of the true religion (Noss 353). For the following eight years, he received more visions each one revealing more and more of the religion. The intentions of Zoroaster were pretty much an elaboration on the religion that was established by the Aryans. He also believed Ahura Mazda was the supreme deity. Although he believed there were other deities, he believed Ahura Mazda was the one that created the other deities. At the time, Aryan religion called their spirits devas (good) and asuras (evil). For whatever reason, Zoroaster changed this around to asuras meanin

After Zoroaster’s death, many changes occurred. It got to the point that some followers of Zoroasterianism began to worship Zoroaster himself. Over time, the stories of Zoroaster’s life were exaggerated until things like his birth and the curing of Vishtaspa’s horse became legends in themselves. Another glaring change that occurred was that Zoroastrianism became less monotheistic. One example is that of the spirit Mithra. Zoroaster more or less didn’t concern himself with Mithra, but after his death, Zoroaster’s followers “reinstated” Mithra into their religion. Another change, and one that would have angered Zoroaster was the fact that people once again began using haoma and making animal sacrifices to Zoroaster.

Muhammad and Zoroaster were both “chosen” by receiving visions. Jesus’ birth was actually foretold by the prophets and he was the expected Son of God. All three “saw” their religion go through changes after their respective deaths, although no one more so than Zoroaster.

Muhammad’s success could be measured in much the same way as Jesus’. Although Muhammad himself isn’t worshipped in the way that Jesus is by Christians today, he did convert many people to his religion, although not many in the beginning. He challenged people who wanted to see miracles by saying that his only miracle was the Koran and any miracle would be one directly from Allah, and one only had to look at the wonders of nature to see that miracle. After winning a series of violent wars with the established religion’s followers, more and more people began to see that Muhammad was correct, until the city of Mecca mass converted.

In conclusion Zoroaster, Jesus, and Muhammad were completely different men from completely different b
