never imagin praising a God who is a bribe taker. The one, who is bribed by worship and then he rewards his worshiper with a part of paradise. The Almighty God is not a dealer, he is neither a buyer nor a seller, and does not need also to be flattered by his creatures. The almighty God of Zarathustra, is the initiator of justice, kindness, and truthfulness and guides his creatures to the same principles. That is why, Zarathustra, has based his philosophy on good reflection, good word, and good deed. In Zarathustra’s philosophy, everybody has the liberty to choose the right way, out of his/her good reflection and since human wisdom is more related to good reflection, thus the followers of Zoroastrianism should precede by each other to the propagation of science and education. In this manner, Zoroastrianism becomes the forerunner of knowledge and enlightenment. “O’ ahura mazda (Almighty God), when I was looking for you with my wisdom and speculation faculties and tried to find you with the eye of my heart, I recognized that you are the starter and the end of everything, you are the source of wisdom and reflection and you are the creator of truthfulness and purity and the judge and justice for the behavior of all the human beings.”
Light and Fire in Zoroastrianism Considering that “light” and “fire,” are the cleanest phenomena in the earth and can never be contaminated, therefore, Zarathustra elevated and chose them as the symbol of Ahur Mazda. Unfortunately, some people out of ignorance, wickedness or guile try to regard zoroastrianism as a fire-worshipping religion, thus damaging its monotheistic characteristic. Interestingly, the very same malevolent people who try to accuse Zoroastrianism of fire worshipping, they confirm the worthiness of light and fire and light up candles in the house of their God. .
every one knows that the development of knowledge, education, and science are directly related to the maturity and integrity of human beings. More knowledgeable and educated the people, less they become prey to the deceitfulness of religious businessmen and on the basis of their rationale they even put them to shame. Omar Khayyam, the noted poet, philosopher, and mathematician says: Oh, Thou, Who didst with Pitfall and with Gin Best the Road I was to wander in, Thou wilt not with predestination round Enmesh me, and impute my fall to Sin? The same philosopher says Said one – “Folks of a surly Master tell, And daub his Visage with the Smoke of Hell; They talk of some sharp Trial of us – Pish! He’s a Good Fellow, and ‘twill all be well.” These poems will respond par excellence to the baseless rhetoric of religious impostors. At this point, one may ask: “Why clergies of different religions consider themselves, the only broker of heaven and assert that the clergymen of the other religions are ignorant and fraudulent, their followers are aberrant whom finally will be punished by hell. Yet, we may here ask ourselves why would the creator of such a vast cosmos, which is beyond human speculation, ever need representatives on earth to guide several thousand or several millions of people. Undoubtedly, if we really try to take advantage of the endowments of our intellectual faculties to liberate ourselves from the slavery of religious brokers, we can terminate the bloodshed, which is caused by so much religious squabbles among the human beings. As the great Iranian philosopher and poet says: For two-and-seventy jangling creeds he hears, And love-voiced Fable calls him ceaselessly, . To dope their followers, clergies of different religions have always tried to take advantage of human potentials in order to mislead them. They have, for example, tried to use endorphins (a neurotransmitter, such as morphine), which is secreted from the brain and intoxicates people, indoctrination, brain washing or the effect of placebo (an non-medicinal neutral substance given to a patient, who thinks that it is medicine, merely to change his feelings), to mislead the people and control their mind and their behavior. Obviously, various religions that do not permit their followers to speculate about the nature and properties of their principles undertake the most wickedness and metamorphose the human beings to thoughtless and unwise animals. As science and culture develop and as human beings's enlightenment increases, Zoroastrian principles of (good reflection, good word, and good behavior) will be shared again, and Zoroastrianism will thus recover its splendour. Having achieved such a summum bonum, it does not matter, how and under what rubric human beings label themselves.

گفتي كه مرا دوست نداري گله اي نيست بين من و عشق تو ولي فاصله اي نيست گفتم كه كمي صبر كن و گوش به من كن گفتي كه نه بايد بروم حوصله اي نيست پرواز عجب عادت خوبيست ولي حيف تو رفتي و ديگر اثر از چلچله اي نيست گفتي كه كمي فكر خودم باشم و آن وقت جز عشق تو در خاطر من مشغله اي نيست رفتي تو خدا پشت و پناهت به سلامت بگذار بسوزد دل من مساله اي نيست
Abdul Ahad Mohmand Abdul Ahad Momand Intercosmos CosmonautNationality AfghanBorn January 1, 1959Sardah, AfghanistanOccupation* PilotRank ColonelTime spent in space8d 20h 26mSelection 1988Mission(s) Soyuz TM-6* previous or current Abdul Ahad Momand (b. January 1, 1959) was the first Afghan cosmonaut and spent nine days in space aboard the Mir space station in 1988. He currently lives in Stuttgart, Germany. Along with Commander Vladimir Lyakhov and Dr. Valery Polyakov, Momand was part of the Soyuz TM-6 three-man crew, which launched at 04:23 GMT August 29, 1988. Momand's inclusion in the mission was a significant symbol. During his brief time on the Mir, Momand took photographs of Afghanistan, participated in astrophysical, medical and biological experiments, spoke to Afghan president Najibullah and brewed Afghan tea for the crew. The September 6 landing of Soyuz TM-5 was delayed because of mechanical complications on the Mir. Radio Moscow reassured listeners that Lyakhov and Momand were fine and in touch with Mission Control. A recording was played of them laughing. The British media jumped on the story and incorporated words like "marooned" and "lost in space" into their headlines. They even suggested (erroneously) that the cosmonauts had run out of food. With each passing orbit, the danger for the crew became more and more serious. A day later, the retro-fire was successful, and at 00:50 GMT Soyuz TM-5 landed near Dzhezkazgan. During touchdown there was no live radio coverage, only live television pictures of Mission Control. Born in Sardah, Afghanistan, Momand graduated from the Polytechnical High School in Kabul and then the Air Force Academy. He served in the Afghan Air Force and later trained in the USSR as a pilot.
Afghanistan might have been a very different place today if the astronomer-prince Ulughbek had not been assassinated by Muslim extremists on October 27, 1449. Earlier in the 15th century, Ulughbek's parents, Shah-Rukh and Gawhar-Shad, had emerged victorious from the battle for Timur's empire. They established their capital city Herat (in present-day Afghanistan) as a center of culture and learning. They founded madrassahs -- colleges -- open to both men and women students. Their son Ulughbek was based as Emir, or Prince, in Samarkand. He founded two madrassahs in Samarkand and Bukhara. Inscribed on the Ulughbek Madrassah built in Bukhara in 1417, can still be read the words: "It is the duty of every Muslim man and woman to acquire knowledge. " The Madrassah in the Registan in Samarkand is tiled in a sparkling pattern of stars -- for Ulughbek is most famous for his observatory built in 1428, and opened the following year by his proud mother Gawhar-Shad. It was unsurpassed in the world. The great round building was bisected north to south by a gigantic marble quadrant which was cut down deep into the ground for stability. Its sights were moved into position on brass rails. This enabled the most accurate star tables ever to be complied. The attention of their ruler to science aggravated the religious extremists. These were to unite under Hodja Ubaidulla Akrar, leader of the Sufi Nakshbendi order. When Ulughbek's father died, and Ulughbek was now the ruler of the empire, Akrar persuaded Ulughbek's son Abd-al-Latif to overthrow his father. Ulughbek was beheaded, and his observatory razed to the ground by the religious extremists. One of the astronomers, Ali-Kushji, managed to escape with a copy of the star catalogue that had been compiled in Ulughbek's observatory and had it published. It was to be translated into many languages and in use for the next two hundred years. Ulughbek became recognized as one of the world's greatest astronomers. The empire inherited by Ulughbek disintegrated as rival warlords fought over it. Herat, once a leading center of civilization and culture, now lies in one of the poorest regions in the world. When the the observatory site in Samarkand was opened to the public in 1970, the sculptor of Ulugbek's memorial inscribed on it the words of Ulughbek which had particularly incensed the religious leaders: "Religion disperses like a fog, kingdoms perish, but the works of scholars remain for an eternity."
