Abstract

Religion is a major source of values, which has an immense impact on human behaviour and actions. Humanity has no peace and satisfaction without it. Indeed, human beings desire a peaceful environment by birth. Every divine guidance and rational ideology recognizes and endorses the existence of God Almighty in its own portfolio. Monotheism is the foundation for establishing an ideal global society. The ancient human society’s religion, Zoroastrianism, is a monotheistic religion that originated in the Middle East long after Hinduism. This paper will underline the fundamental principles of monotheistic faith in Islam and Zoroastrianism. It will reduce rumours and extremist behaviour between them. This research article at hand will pave the way for interfaith harmony, universal peace and integrity. This comparative study will analyze the significant monotheistic concepts in human society, focusing on differences between Islamic and Zoroastrian studies. It will be based on the written resources of Islam and Zoroastrianism and follow a library research method, intending to denote a comparative view of Monotheism in them. This study will encourage researchers to think about interfaith dialogue, the promotion of commonality and a peaceful global society.

Keywords: Religion, Monotheism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Interfaith Harmony, Global Peace.
