III. In Persia

Persia, a prosperous ancient nation in Asia, is home to Zoroastrianism (Mazdéïsme), founded by the prophet Zoroaster. This religion centers on the duality of good and evil, represented by two opposing divine forces. Zoroastrianism teaches that the ultimate goal for all beings is final redemption, achieved through multiple lifetimes of karmic retribution. Only after this process can the soul attain ultimate happiness.

This religion rejects the concept of eternal damnation in hell, considering it incompatible with the compassionate nature of the Creator.
