Discussion regarding the Zoroastrian religion, or in other words, Magianism, has a long history in Islamic history. During the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), the question was raised whether this religion is divine and whether its followers are considered People of the Book or not. In subsequent years, this question has continued to be raised. In this writing, the author has attempted to examine the perspective of Islam and the method of approach of the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them) towards this religion. To this end, the author first introduces the word 'Magus', its background, and the question of who the Magians are, and then discusses the Magians in the Quran and traditions.
