Examination of the Pluralism of the Religions Truth from the Viewpoint of Abd ul-Karim Soroush on the Basis of the Alawi Teachings

The truth of religions and salvation of their followers is one of the religious-study thoughts which have been brought up in the Islamic world and in our country. Its advocates claim that all or a collection of religions are of truth and save-giving and they negate the restriction of right and salvation in a single religion. Dr. Soroush believes that all religions possess truth and are of the same righteousness and can transmit humanities to truth and salvation and bring about happiness and salvation. Referring to multi-layered being of truth, denying the absoluteness of knowledge, relativity of truth, expansion of the divine mercy and guidance and the limitedness of human perception, he insists his claim. By using the teachings of Imam ‘Ali (AS), such as possibility of certain knowledge, absoluteness of truth and negation the limitedness of human perception and mentioning the instance of the complete human, we prove the restriction of righteousness in the single religion.
