Abstract

But other sources and members of this group have called the mselves Izadi or Izadiah. This article will investigate the correct name of the group and also will analyze the root of itsbeliefs. The author argues that system of beliefs of Izadiah was a mix of Zoroastrian and Islam, Judeo- Christian beliefs and Izadiah is the correct name of this religious minority
