Zoroastrian Priest son Rozbeh known as Salman Farsi
With time, knowledge, and repeated curiosity, new avenues of life opened. Step by step, change and development took place, creating a ladder by which humanity continued to climb toward higher levels of understanding. Practices of the primitive age gradually transformed into new philosophies of human awakening, linked to the growth and refinement of the human mind.
Humanity also passed through ages in which many gods were worshipped. Then came messengers who called people back to the worship of One God. Among them were Moses, greatly revered in Judaism, and Jesus, greatly revered in Christianity. They renewed the call to divine unity and moral responsibility.
Through these stages of spiritual history, the world finally reached Muhammad (peace be upon him), regarded in Islam as the Seal of the Prophets, who completed and confirmed the chain of earlier revelation.
In this journey of seeking truth, Salman al-Farsi, whose earlier name is commonly given in tradition as Ruzbeh (also rendered as Roozbeh or Rouzbeh), appeared. He is said to have been the son of a Zoroastrian priest from Isfahan. Driven by a deep desire to discover the true path, he searched through different traditions and lands.
During this quest, he learned that Muhammad had appeared in Arabia, receiving the first revelation around 610 CE. So he traveled there to meet him, and in that meeting found the truth he had long been seeking.

Salman Farsi (born Ruzbeh Khoshnudan; Persian: سلمان فارسی; Arabic: سَلْمَان ٱلْفَارِسِيّ) was a Persian religious scholar and one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad. As a practicing Zoroastrian, he dedicated much of his early life to studying to become a magus, after which he began travelling extensively throughout Western Asia to engage in constructive dialogue with non-Zoroastrian groups. His quests eventually led to his conversion to Christianity, and later, to his conversion to Islam, which occurred after he met and befriended the Prophet Muhammad in the city of Medina. He was a prominent non-Arab companion and one of Prophet Muhammad's closest friends; Prophet Muhammad had once stated to a gathering of his followers that he regarded Salman as a part of his family.[4] In meetings with the other companions, he was often referred to by the kunya Abu ʿAbdullah.
