Mahabad (prophet)
For other uses, see Mahabad (disambiguation).
Mahabad (Kurdish: مەهاباد Mehabad, Persian: مهاباد Mahābād) is believed to be a pre-Zoroastrian Prophet and may be an alternative name for Adam. He is also called "Azar Hooshang" (the Fire of Wisdom).
He was the first of fifteen successive prophets, the thirteenth of whom was Zoroaster and the last was Sasan, from whom the Sassanid Dynasty may be supposed to trace their descent. Their writings are said to be collected in the Dasatir-i-Asmani.
The Paiman-i-Farhang (Excellent Covenant) is Mahabads code of laws.
