## Ahura Mazda: Overview
**Ahura Mazda** is the supreme god and creator in Zoroastrianism, the ancient Iranian religion founded by the prophet Zoroaster in the 7th century BCE[4]. The name translates to "Lord Wisdom"β*Ahura* meaning "lord" and *Mazda* meaning "wisdom"[1].
## Key Attributes
- Creator of the universe and all that is good[5][6].
- Embodies wisdom, light, and truth[1][4][6].
- Central figure in a cosmic dualism, eternally opposed by Ahriman (Angra Mainyu), the spirit of evil and chaos[4][6].
- Considered all-wise, bounteous, and undeceiving[2].
- Associated with six immortal beings (Amesha Spentas) who assist in governing creation[4][7].
## Role in Zoroastrianism
- Humanity is believed to have free will to choose between the forces of good (Ahura Mazda) and evil (Ahriman)[4].
- Ahura Mazda is worshipped as the source of all that is just and righteous, and Zoroastrian teachings have influenced other major world religions[4][5].
## Historical Significance
- First prominently invoked during the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550β330 BCE)[1].
- No physical images of Ahura Mazda were permitted at the royal court, emphasizing a focus on spiritual worship[1].
Ahura Mazda remains a foundational figure in the history of monotheistic thought and continues to be revered by Zoroastrians today[4][5].
