Throughout history, fire has been one of the effective and fundamental factors in the life of the people of ancient Iran and one of the sacred elements in the religion of Mazdisna. Fire was sacred before the advent of Zarathustra and from the very beginning among the Iranians and was worshiped as one of the prominent gods and after the advent of Zarathustra, it was kept in the fire temple with a special ritual. What this article seeks to analyze is the developments that the fire has gone through after the arrival of Islam in Iran and the gradual conversion of more Iranians to Islam in terms of status and function. Therefore, this research has dealt with this issue through analytical method and library method. Findings show that fire still has an important place in post-Islamic Iran and in Iranian religions in various forms and types, including swearing fire in the claims of some tribes as well as in rituals related to marriage and Mourning has also continued.
