“historians have suggested Islam’s beginnings are found in the Persian religion Zoroastrianism”
The Islamic Pig-People have all but destroyed Zoroastrianism but other than that, I’ve never seen an Islamic reference to Zoroastrianism. If I recall correctly, the references in the Koran are always Judeo-Christian.
I know there are historians who think the concept of Satan came from the Zoroastrians but beyond that, I’ve never heard suggestions of other influence.

Mohammad borrowed a lot, from several religions.
there is definitely other things from Zorastrianism.
for example, the narrow bridge that must be crossed,
after death.
and some things, are hard to attribute, because Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, share many concepts.
(and none of them, terrorize and behead those of other faiths...)
it’s also interesting to note,
that Muhammad apparently didn’t learn of Christianity from Orthodox sources. Instead, it must have been Gnostics.
much of Islam includes Gnostic beliefs.
example, that Jesus wasn’t killed on the cross,
but was removed first. That comes from Gnostic texts.
you forget the black stone of Elagabalus that is right now in the corner of the Ka’aba in Mecca
