Abstract

Abstract
The salvation is an subject that has occupied human mind since the beginning of creation. Hence, all religions and schools in the world have made an attempt to clarify this human concern in an appropriate way with regard to their original texts. Some of them have been so insular that they have limited salvation only for a specific sect. Therefore, the prosperous have let themselves think of others as those who are doomed to affliction and deserve punishment!
Mulla Sadrā, an famous Islamic philosopher, has depicted a beautiful picture of salvation by an intellectual approach and with traditional confirmation that can pleasantly solve the life problems of people of various sects and religions together. When we investigate Mulla Sadrā’s viewpoint, we sometimes find him an exclusivist who think only Muslims pious will be saved, sometimes find him an Inclusive who introduced us to many honors Muslims, and he sometimes introduces himself as a pluralist by accepting of degrees of salvation and understanding degrees. However, we find his last and comprehensive viewpoint as an intellectual theory and beyond all these theories.
