Zoroastrianism which was one of the main religions that influenced Islam in a great manner, and tried to incorporate some of its teachings into the religion and hence the Arabic culture of the time Zoroastrianism did not influence Islam in any way that I know of.. Nothing in common at all.. Culturally could be. Last remaining practitioners of this religion are Parsis, concentrated mainly now in India.. Parsis in general are very well educated and are traders and merchants and in general are quite well off.. However, they do not as far as I know, accept converts and hence their numbers have gone down dramatically over time.. Wife of my friend was a Parsi (she passed away 5 years ago) so I know little bit of what I am talking about here.. Zoroastrianism, A community in whose religious ceremonies the invocation of fire occupies the central place, who wear the sacred thread, whose ancestors worshipped gods named Mitra Vayu, Veretraghna, whose society was traditionally divided into various orders of priests, warriors and peasants, who consider themselves descendants of the Aryans
