Mo-Salman = "Muslim", means in Persian "Followers of Salman". This is Salman's code for his work.

Fire was symbol of God, not God in Zoroastrian religion. It gave warmth to everyone in darkness and was symbol of hope and internal light..Zoroaster never claimed to be God Profit, he was always seeking for God and fighting Pagan Priesthood. He brought the One God Theory, based on all Living Things look alike, so there must be one God. He told people to respect the Water, Land, Air and Fire.

[DamavandGon]

Zoroastrians were not fire worshipers, they believed on one God, the God of Great Wisdom, life giving, merciful and forgiveness.

Zoroastrians believed on human rights, charity, self purification through Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds and doing good for sake of goodness.

All of this could be found through Cyrus the Great who was Zoroastrian.

The Priesthood of Late Sassanian period Corrupted the message of Zoroaster and created Cast system, also because of Roman Empire wars, Taxes

[DamavandGon]

Salman Wrote most of Quran, except the Hadith portion. He was against the Persian Cast and heavy Taxation, but he respected the Original Zoroastrian Doctrine and he transferred most of it to Islam, also copied Jewish and Christian books. Thus they said Quran was well Written. His work can be seen by

- Equality and brotherhood ( To remove Cast system)

- No Taxation on Muslims

- 5 times prayers (Same as Zoroastrian)

- One God, merciful and benevolent (Zoroastrian)

- Charity/Giving (Zoroastrian)
