Signification
Referring to a point in time after which something happened.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is frequently used in Iranian historiography to discuss the 'Pre-Islamic' vs 'Post-Islamic' eras, or the 'Pre-Revolution' vs 'Post-Revolution' periods. Classical poets often use the shorter 'از آن پس' to maintain meter in poetry, while modern novelists prefer 'از آن زمان به بعد' for realistic dialogue. On platforms like Instagram, you'll see 'از اون موقع به بعد' used in 'story-time' videos where influencers describe a life-changing moment or a 'glow-up'. Iranians often use this phrase to mark the beginning of family traditions or the time a family member migrated abroad, which is a common theme in Iranian life.
Use with 'دیگر'
Pair this phrase with 'دیگر' (digar) and a negative verb to say 'never again since then'. It sounds very native.
Avoid Future Tense
Never use 'آن' (that) for future events. If you mean 'from now on', use 'از این به بعد'.

Absolutely. It is the standard way to describe historical continuity in formal Persian.
English 'Since' can be a preposition or a conjunction. 'از آن زمان به بعد' is specifically the adverbial 'ever since then'.
Use 'از این به بعد' (Az in be ba'd). Just change 'ān' to 'in'.
