Put the Arabic 4 in the title.

I tried but I had issues with it

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Alright. I have a question for y'all. Do you consider Zoroastrians to be people or the book or no? What do you consider to be the qualifications for it? Just those said in the Quran?

Yeah because they were given the Avesta.

Though from a historical context, because the Quran and Hadith often mentions specific scriptures such as the Torah, Gospel, and the Psalms, it's often associated with the Jews and Christians, but since the Quran doesn't reject the idea that books were sent to other countries and the fact that the Avesta has a small amount of references to the Tawhid of Allah or Ahura Mazda, plus placing lots of emphasis on good deeds much like Islam, I consider the Avesta to be a divine book although Allah placed that responsibility to Zoroaster (as) and then his later followers corrupted it to include multiple pagan and dualist influences

[Jolthig]

Interestingly enough, Ahura Mazda can mean "Mighty Lord" in Persian. There are other translations for it as well but this is the one that I remembered.

Plus, the Avesta still contains multiple attributes of God in common with the Quran, such as "Merciful" and "All-Forgiving".

Ahura Mazda can mean Mighty or Wise Lord.

You reject the dualism? Is this not also a major feature of Islam with Allah and Iblis? Or Christianity with God and Satan?

Zoroastrians believe that there is a good god and a bad god who is their version of Satan and the bad god created all the bad in the world.

That's what I meant by dualism

[Northern Davincia]

Don't mind me as I indulge in some tunes.

[Jolthig]

The poll is up

[Jolthig]

Don't mind me as I indulge in some tunes.

I'll consider this your way of saying "tag"?

Indeed!

[Jolthig]

Ok, that's fine then.

[Jolthig]

I fixed the number problem.

[Kubumba Tribe]

That's not what 4 looks like. It's look like this: ٤

[Jolthig]

You're right. My mistake

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Ahura Mazda can mean Mighty or Wise Lord.

Angra Mainyu is lower than Ahura Mazda. He is no more a god than Iblis either.

[Jolthig]

That's not what 4 looks like. It's look like this: ٤

I tried putting that number earlier today and it doesn't work for some reason.

So I went with someone's advice on their understanding of the number.

I may have to talk with a mod?

Still, he created the diseases of the world. Diseases are created by Allah himself since he is the creator of everything. Some are to punish those who disobey him after sending a prophet

I guess so. Try going to technical

[Jolthig]

Curious, who is the other Ahmadi who voted second?

[United Islamic Commonwealth]

Why do Ahmadis get 3 sections but Shia only get 1?

Angra Mainyu doesn't create anything. It isn't even considered a singular entity to create something. It is evil, not the creator of evil.
