خلاصه ماشینی:

In such a country, where its religious government was founded by Ardashir, atheist groups that caused the fall of the Sasanians were ignored. In fact, it is evident that the official announcement of Mani's new faith began in the era of Shapur I, the successor and founder of the Sasanian government, who was crowned in Ctesiphon in 242 AD. During the four centuries of Sasanian rule, Zoroastrianism was the official religion of the country. It is said that there exists a fundamental and simple existential truth to such movements as Manichaeism and Mazdakism, and the difficulties in their formation were what placed them in the light of the final fall of Iran's national religion. Manichaeism no longer has an external existence, but for a period of a thousand years, it was the religion of a large group of followers who were inspired by the ideals and founding principles of this faith, which they considered divine1. From the examination of the texts, it appeared that Manichaeism was in some way a branch of Zoroastrianism and the source of various movements, such as the Christian movement, which created a pattern for religious life in Central Asia for many centuries. Mani was a Zoroastrian, and his father was wealthy and a man of knowledge who had great religious inclinations. In other words, through his inspirations, Mani sought the union of East and West based on the common religious beliefs of his era. Mani's faith had followers in the East until the 7th century AD.
