Allah had other religions before islam came didnt he?
I belong to a religion wich is based on an even older religion. The religion of the one god. Is it possible that this one god is the same one god muhammed talked about?
The Avesta are the oldest scriptures talking about messiahs, heaven and hell, one god, angels et c. Some texts like arash the archer goes back 8000 years. Zoroaster came back talking about the comming 3 messiahs, born from virgin mothers of gods seed.
And he predicted one, that will be born 1000 years later under the star of david. 1000 years later 3 zoroastrian priests followed the star and there was gods messenger Jesus. You can find it in the bible they even say "predicted by the prophet".
Quote from the KJV bible. Book of matthew.
[1] Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
[2] Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
[3] When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
[4] And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
[5] And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
The prediction was in the Avesta,
A Zoroaster converted into muslim said that there was an avesta mentioning Muhammed as the finall prophet. The Avestas are not neatly kept in a book as in islam, it is many texts, all are mostly lost, some are kept, the oldest from around 8000 years ago.
If judaism is also gods religion, or a people of the book. Then can Zoroastrianism be it to? I mean, it is more like islam than judaism. "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good deeds", and its the oldest religion mentioning one and only god, angels, heaven and hell "the beginning and the end".
Its also not racist as judaism only restricted to Jews.
So my point is, is it possible that Zoroastrianism can be one of the religions of god before muhammed that islam speaks of?
Proselytizing and conversion: Parsi Zoroastrians do not proselytize. In recent years, however, Zoroastrian communities in both Iran, Europe and the Americas have been more tolerant towards conversion. While this move has not been supported officially by the priesthood in Mumbai, India, it has been endorsed by the Council of Mobeds in Tehran.
only people sick of the islamic regime and want the old persian religion.
Why are they sick of the Islamic regime? This is perhaps the best thing which has happened to Iran since it was conquered under Hazrat Umar Farooq (Razi Allah anho).
You reject all false religions? Didnt muhammed say that they are the book of the people and worshipp the same god?

Zoroastrians do accept converts, the reason its been closed is cause of years of persecution. The indian zoroastrians dont get to, cause when they fled the islamic invation east they promised the king to not mix with the locals, and even today they stick to that promise.
Cause the islamic republic cares more about other nations. You know how much money they give to Hezbollah and Hamas? Entire Lebanon is working cause of Iranian aid so does Palestine. Just to help "fellow muslims" as the quaran says. And how do they thank us? They love Saddam and say death to the arabs enemies, Israel, USA and IRAN.
You see, Iran was always a super power before Islam, Iran defeated the Roman Empire while fighting turkish invadors in the north, Iran was destroyed and suddenly the arabic tribes united and just like the mongols united tribes are strong. After islam in Iran Iran has always been an averege nation.
Care to explain this? "Hazrat Umar Farooq (Razi Allah anho)", remember im not a muslim.

No our Holy Prophet (Sall Allahu alaihi wa salaam) didn't say that.

Then what kind of religion is Zoroastrianism? Is this king who is no longer around their god who dictates to them their beliefs and practices? Some king centuries ago tells the zoroastrians not to mix with the local people, and they make it an article of their religion, how ridiculous. Dont you realize that your religion is false and has absolutely no spiritual power whatsoever. Your numbers are declining, to the extent that there are barely 20 thousand Zoroastrians in Iran, which has been the homeland of zoroastrians for over three millenia!
On the other hand Allah Taala has promised in the Holy Quran in Surah an-Nasr that people will enter Islam in swarms, and we can see today that the True Religion has spread to the extermities of the Earth and is the fastest growing faith in the world.

Yes Islam is a religion which emphasizes charity and helping your brothers. Iran is doing a marvelous job supporting their Muslim brothers in the Middle East who are suffering at hands of the infidels. Muslims should be willing to sacrifice their own comfort and luxury for the sake of their brothers who need it more. Zoroastrians will never understand this concept, to them looking after number one is more important, but Islam has taught us to know better. Israel and America are the enemies of all Muslims, including Iranian Muslims.
Care to explain this? "Hazrat Umar Farooq (Razi Allah anho)", remember im not a muslim.
Hazrat Umar (Razi Allahu anho) was the second khalifa of the Muslims. During his khilafat the pagan Persians invaded the Muslim settlement of Hilla in modern day Iraq. The pagan Persians invaded with an army of 120 thousand, but the Muslims were only able to raise an army of 30 thousand to defend themselves. But because Allah Taala is on the side of the Muslims, He helped give us victory at the famous Battle of Qadisiyah in 636 CE (Subhan Allah). 25 thousand of the Persians were killed, but only 5 thousand Muslims were martyred. This great victory was the beginning of the Muslim conquest of Persia, and the fruits of Muslim victory some 1400 years ago result in Iran being an Islamic state today.

Zoroastrianism is more of an awaiting thing, 3 messiahs was comming one of them Jesus, when they started comming people must follow them, the prophets of the only god. Zoroastrianism is much like judaism, some say that the prophets havent come some say they have thats why zoroastrianism is falling, people are saying that Jesus, and islam are the awaited religions.
Zoroastrianism can be shorted into this. Good deeds, Good words, Good thoughts. It tells you to be a good person, and that there is only one god, and that he will send prophets that you shall follow.

But still they hate Iranians cause they are not arabs. And love Saddam Hussein that killed 3 million Iranians by bombings and evereyone are talking about 300.000 kurds!
They have food on the table cause of Iran, and they thank Iran by hating Iran...

That is a very good achievment, the Sassanid Persian had an advanced millitary, crossbows, elite knight wich later became the euopean knights, with armour of steel even on the horse. Doctrines wich made the Roman Empire run scared from the holy land and asia minor.
30.000 arabic tribesmen with nothing but swords defeating a sassanid persian army in 120.000 is a great achievment, makes you wonder if islam is thrue.
But still they hate Iranians cause they are not arabs. And love Saddam Hussein that killed 3 million Iranians by bombings and evereyone are talking about 300.000 kurds!

Who are "they"? The Muslims throughout the world are more than grateful to Iran. Saddam Hussein was a puppet of the West. He believed in Arab nationalism, just like you believe in persian nationalism. But Imam Khomeini believed in Islam, and in Islam there is no nationalism. Now we can see throughout the Arab world that pan-arab nationalism is falling apart, now only secular rich women in the middle east believe in nationalism.
Haha Imam Khomeni had an indian father, i think he was sunni from western india. his mother was persian. He called himself a muslim. Pretty funny mix.
Pan-arabism falling appart? thats good for you, it will mean that the islamic world can unite just as it did during the crusades, saladin was a kurd, he saw also only muslim. If you forgett about pan-arabism it will be very good for the islamic world but bad for the rest.

Yes he was a Muslim, it makes no difference if his father was indian. (Actually his father wasn't indian). Because Islam is a universal religion, it has nothing to do with where you are from. I myself am Pakistani not Arab, but that doesnt matter, we are all Muslims by the grace of Allah. Salahuddin Ayyubi was a great Muslim hero, people are sometimes surprised that he was Kurdish and not Arab. In fact the great muhaditheen like Imam Bukhari were mostly Persian. When Muslims are cured of the disease of nationalism we will rise again and become a formidable force, insha Allah.
When a person speaks on a subject in which the one being spoken to might not know the background, it is good for the speaker to use simple terms and to be clear and explain things.
Saying all religions are false can confuse someone who does not know the Islamic background.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
