Ahura Mazda significa “Senhor Sábio” e Zaratustra reconheceu em Ahura Mazda o Deus Verdadeiro, o Criador do universo.

The significance of this cannot be overstated. Zarathustra may have been the first monotheist in recorded history. Zaehner points out, “The great achievement of the Iranian Prophet [was] that he eliminated all the ancient gods of the Iranian pantheon, leaving only Ahura Mazdah, the ‘Wise Lord’, as the One True God.”<ref>Zaehner, “Zoroastrianism,” p. 210.</ref>
A sua importância não pode ser subestimada. Zaratustra pode ter sido o primeiro monoteísta registrado na história. Zaehner destaca: “A grande conquista do Profeta Iraniano [foi] que ele eliminou todos os deuses antigos do panteão iraniano, deixando apenas Ahura Mazdah, o 'Senhor da Sabedoria', como o Único Deus Verdadeiro.”<ref>Zaehner, “Zoroastrianism,” p. 210.</ref>


Some scholars assert that Zarathustra was not a strict monotheist but a henotheist, that is, one who worships one God but does not deny the existence of others. This is a technical distinction. As David Bradley, author of ''A Guide to the World’s Religions'', notes, “[Zarathustra] was a practicing monotheist in the same way that Moses was.”<ref>David G. Bradley, ''A Guide to the World’s Religions'' (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1963), p. 40.</ref> Bradley thinks that Moses knew of the existence of lesser gods but insisted on the necessity of siding with the true God against all other gods.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
