From ancient times to the present, one of the great ideals of humanity, has been the ideal of peace and how to achieve it. For this purpose, have been used important tools such as rationalism, ethics and human communication. In the midst, prophets and religious missionaries have played a great role in drawing the idea of peace and directly or indirectly, or they themselves have pursued peace and altruism in the form of religious states or by linking religion and politics, they have led political rulers to avoid war and violence. Due to this issue, this study seeks to investigate this fundamental issue that Mani, who was one of the prophets of ancient Iran, how in his field of thought and action, emphasized the issue of peace and altruism in ancient Iran and in the structure of ancient states. Research findings that have been collected in a descriptive / analytical method, shows that Mani by promoting his religious beliefs, seeks to create a kind of state or religious rule that provides the metaphor of peace and altruism for human beings In order to achieve this goal, Mani uses various strategies such as interacting with other religions or drawing the beauty of peace and altruism with painting and music and he even believes that the ultimate struggle between good and evil is altruism and virtuous peace.
