A Comparative Study of the View of Islam and Zoroastrianism about Afterlife

This paper, titled "a comparative study of the view of Islam and Zoroastrianism about afterlife", addresses the question whether man lives an immortal life or dies an eternal death. This research focuses on "man's afterlife". So, the main question of the research is what, according to Islam and Zoroastrianism, is the outcome of man? What Kind of life will it be if it is eternal? The research findings show that these two religions, though have slight differences about this issue, emphasize on man's "immortality" and the "life" after death. After examining the world and man of Mazdayasna, the paper elaborates on the fate of soul from this perspective. In Islam, special attention is given to the study of the eternity of spirit, soul, the levels of soul and Kholud (immortality). "Kholud" is used in the Quran to mean "immortality". In the Quran and Islam, this discussion comes under the heading of "immortality of soul."
