A Comparative Study of Mans Destiny after Death from the Perspective of Zoroastrianism and Islam
Abstract:
The doctrine of life after death is among the basic principles of divine religions. The present paper is a comparative study of man’s destiny after death in the view of Zoroastrianism and Islam. Like Islam, Zoroastrian believes in the life after death, a doctrine which is referred to in several places in Avesta and Pahlavi texts. The paper first addresses the idea of the hereafter and man’s destiny after death from the perspective of Zoroastrianism and Islam, and then, making a comparison between the two, the author mentions the similarities and differences between them. He also points out to some of the similarities between the views of the two religions about the doctrine of life after death including the necessity of afterlife and its continuity until the Resurrection, and the reward and punishment assigned for the righteous and sinners. There are also some differences between them; for example Zoroastrianism believes that man’s abodes in the world after death are heaven, hell and Hamistegan, whereas Islam believes that they are two: purgatory heaven and hell. Zoroastrians think that the soul is brought back to without body in the world after death but Muslims believe that the soul together with a body suited to it is brought back to life in the world after the death. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper discusses this subject by referring to the Quran, the Avesta and Pahlavi texts.
