Zoroastrianism is based on the revelations of the Persian prophet Zarathustra, or Zoroaster in Greek.

Zarathustra taught that the world and everything in it was created by a Wise Lord, or Ahura Mazda.

Before Zarathustra, Persians believed in multiple deities, as did most nomadic tribes at the time.

Zarathustra preaches three basic virtues: good thoughts, good words and good deeds.

Zarathustra says: "Happiness unto him who gives happiness unto others."
