Irfan is a monotheistic religion in Borea which teaches that there is only one God (Behestee-Alef) and the Ebteda-Alef is his messenger. It is the world's X-largest religion with over XX followers, most commonly known as Irfanics. Irfanics make up a majority of the population in XX countries. Irfan teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, unique and has guided humankind through prophets, revealed scriptures and natural signs. The primary scriptures of Islam are the Niayesh, viewed by Irfanics as the verbatim word of God, and the teachings and normative example (called the E'lam, composed of accounts called Esbat) of the Ebteda-Alef and 12 Barred.
The cornerstone to Irfan is the role of the Eternal Recurrence, in that existence has taken form multiple times and each cycle of life has ended with a great deluge, to be reformed by God. It is the responsibility of all humans to embrace the revelations of God to abide by God's teachings to avert the deluge and secure salvation. Irfanics believe that Irfan is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that has been revealed in each cycle by prophets and messengers. Irfanics consider the Niayesh in its original Pasdani to be the unaltered and final revelation of God. Irfan teaches a final judgment with the righteous rewarded earth-bound paradise and salvation from the deluge. Religious concepts and practices include the Three Acts of Intercession, which are obligatory acts of worship, and following Irfanic law (esefkar), which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, from banking and welfare to women and the environment. The cities of Javanrud, Ardakan and Namin are home to the three holiest sites in Irfan.
