A Comparative Study of the Religion of Sacrifice in the Pre-Islamic and Islamic Periods

The philosophy of human creation is the worship of God and is one of the most ancient common worships of all religions. Sacrifice has started since the time of Adam and is considered as one of the religious duties and part of Hajj rituals. The manner of the animal in question and the conditions of religious slaughter are stated in the Qur'an. In ancient Iran, there was a sacrifice before and during the time of Zoroaster, and after that it was banned and it is mostly offered as an offering. In Avesta, many people are mentioned who offered many sacrifices to achieve their desires. Zoroastrians believe that every human being should be arrested in six or five days during the year. This descriptive-analytical study compares the victim in pre-Islamic and post-Islamic Iran.
