Zurvan, Infinite Time, is the father of twin spirits Ahura Mazda and Ahriman in the Zurvanite tradition. Zurvan's faith produced Ahura Mazda, while his momentary doubt produced Ahriman.
⚠ Orthodox Zoroastrianism rejects Zurvanite parentage entirely, holding both Ahura Mazda and Ahriman as uncreated primal spirits. The Zurvanite heresy was a significant sectarian tradition in Sassanid Persia.
