Rumi denies the existence of Ahriman completely:Asghar, Irfan. The Notion of Evil in the Qur'an and Islamic Mystical Thought. Diss. The University of Western Ontario (Canada), 2021. This is our main quarrel with the Magians (Zoroastrians). They say there are two Gods: the creator of good and the creator of evil. Show me good without evil – then I will admit there is a God of evil and a God of good. This is impossible, for good cannot exist without evil. Since there is no separation between them, how can there be two creators?
