دراسة أكاديمية: المقارنة التاريخية بين "أرطا فيراف نامه" وقصة المعراج الإسلامي

This academic study examines claims linking the Zoroastrian text Arda Viraf Namag with the Islamic Mi’raj narrative. Through a detailed historical, chronological, and source-based analysis, the study demonstrates that the Mi’raj predates the final compilation of Arda Viraf Namag, making direct borrowing unlikely. The research also explores narrative and symbolic similarities, highlighting shared motifs in religious literature without implying direct influence. The paper provides a comprehensive comparison of textual context, religious function, and chronological gaps, offering a clear framework for understanding the relationship between these two religious narratives.
