The Zeradishtiya
The Zeradishtiya was among the principles that appeared at the ‘Abbasid time. It maintains two
gods: the god of good, and the god of evil. Al‐Kherbutli talked about some of their principles,
saying: “The essence of Zarathushtra’s principles is that there are many, various events in the
world: Some of them are good, and some of them are evil; these events do not create themselves;
rather they stand on an origin. Zarathushtra thinks that it is impossible to ascribe good and evil to
one origin. For this reason it was necessary for him to explain the world of faith through the
existence of two different, contradictory forces. One force is pure and sacred, from which result
life and natural elements. The other force is wicked and dirty from which issue blights, perishing,
destruction, evil and affliction that befall man. The first force is called Ihriman, meaning the god of
evil or Satan. The other is called Mezad that means the god of good and light.”[3]
Zarathushtra thinks that life does not perish, that it is happy or unhappy through the pleasures in
life, and that its ordeal is three days after death. Then the wind carries it until it reaches the
straight path (sirat). It is judged there fore three days. The good souls go to the Garden, and the
evil ones are driven to the fire.

The Zeradishtiya spread during the ‘Abbasid Time 1. It was adopted by some simple, deceived
persons. It spared no effort to war against the Islamic values, to untie the social links, and to make
the Muslims abandon morals and the Islamic manners.
Anyway, these principles, which spread during the ‘Abbasid time, clearly show us that there was
ideological emptiness, shallow thinking, that ignorance prevailed, that the Muslims had no
knowledge of the reality of their religion, which urged them to be mentally aware and be free
from all kinds of ignorance and inactivity.
Heresies and vague errors appeared at that time in astonishing and strange way. Al‐Rawendiya,
who claimed that al‐Mansur al‐Dewaniqi was their lord who feed and watered them, took place at
that time.[1] Al‐Meqanna’ al‐Khuresani created a heresy. He maintained the transmigration of
souls and claimed that he was a god. He claimed that Allah created Adam, and He turned into His
form. Then he turned into the form of Nuh, then into Ibrahim. Then he turned into the form of the
prophets, then into the form of the Prophet Muhammed, may Allah bless him and his family. Then
he changed into the form of Imam ‘Ali b. Abi Tali, peace be on him. After him he turned into the
