- Abstract
This article explores the historical foundations of the idea of a single deity in Zoroastrianism. As noted in the article, the idea of creation and patronage in Zoroastrianism remains one of the most difficult issues of avestalogy. Zoroaster was one of the first to introduce the First Cause, which created existence based on the important potential of human thought and mental possibility, into the realm of the practice of faith in a way that can be perceived through abstract symbols and spirit. First, in the history of religions, it is necessary to separate the function of creation from primitive views, from totemism, and connect the idea of creation with an abstract divine nature. The article contains scientific opinions on the need to comprehend the creative function of Ahura Mazda as a sovereign and unified creative entity. Also, "Gohs", included in the nask "Yasna", the creative work of the Avesta, revealed that in the Zoroastrian period a serious choice was made regarding primitive polytheism and mythical images. It is analyzed that the supreme god of Zoroastrianism Mazda comes in the connection with the meaning Ahura - "high honor, greatness, lord", which is an expression of his quality, incomparable greatness. Ahura Mazda and his angels proceed from the fact that divine concepts such as Good Intention, Perfect Mind, and Good Possession of the Universe are the founders of a single spiritual unity. It has been scientifically proven that their functions are directly aimed at ensuring the will of Ahura Mazda and the stability of good. On the basis of scientific analysis, it is proved that the Avesta initially described the world only as a combination of virtues and balance, and the founder of the Zoroastrian religion introduced into practice purely spiritual and spiritual factors, and through them the idea of being "controlled" by abstract forces.
