A Analytic Comparison between the Origin and the Destination of Soul in Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Three Works of Muslim Mystics (Al-Luma, Sharh-e Taarof and Kashfolmahjoob)

Among religions، there are many similarities in the beliefs with regard to the origin of soul، the fate of soul after death، resurrection، judgment، heaven and hell which indicate the relationship between religions. Despite the fact that such relationship is particularly seen in Abrahamic religions such as Judaism and Islam، it is of great significance to study the similarities between Zoroastrianism and Judaism due to cultural and political links between Zoroastrians and Jews after the fall of Jerusalem، the captivity of the Jews by Nebuchadnezzar، and then the capture of Babel by the Cyrus and the releasing of the Jews which paved the way for the influence of Iranian culture and Zoroastrian beliefs on Jewish beliefs. Studying the beliefs in different religions، in general، and issues related to Eschatology and life of soul after death، in details (as it is the topic of this research)، it will be found out that the God’s inspiration is the source of all of them. Although some of the beliefs of Jews such as transmigration in Cabala do not exist in Islam، there are similarities which cannot be denied.
