The Antichrist, as one of the apocalyptic figures representing evil versus the savior of the greatest justice, is one of the common and challenging concepts in Islamic and Christian theology. With the difference that in the Bibles, the Antichrist is explicitly mentioned, while in the Quran, it is not mentioned; This may be the first reason for the differences and challenges surrounding the Antichrist and related issues. In the meantime, many details about the Antichrist have been narrated in narrative sources, especially in Sunni hadith communities. Muslim thinkers do not have the same views about the personality and physical characteristics of the Antichrist, the time and place of his departure and the events related to it, according to the basics of understanding the hadith. In the meantime, Rashid Reza, despite his attachment to the intellectual foundations of Salafism, has a critical approach to hadith and introduces rationalism as the most important component of measuring the narrations. He considers the hadiths of the Antichrist to be flawed and ultimately fake due to their conflict with other narrations, opposition to the Qur'an and rational reasons. The present study tries to paint a general picture of the subject of the Antichrist among Imami and Sunni thinkers using the content analysis method and then critiques it while accurately conveying Rashid Reza's point of view.

Al-Minar is considered to be of the most outstanding interpretations of the Sunnis during contemporary century having rational- social orientation. The roots of the authors' rational viewcan be traced back to their reformist ideas. Abdoh and Rashid Reza's emphasis on returning to Quran and rereading the Islamic tradition in conformity with the current needs of the society have culminated in their increasing interest in rationalism- the issue in which extremism has resulted in unreasonable and personal interpretations. Investigating and analyzing the content of Al-Minar interpretation, this study, illustrating  the experimental nature of rationalism of Aboh and Rashid Reza, tends to discover the fpoundations of rationalism in Al-Minar interpretation and inspect its flaws. According to the obtained results, the authors of this interpretation have tendency towards experimental intellect and severely disagree philosophical intellect. Of the most noteworthy principles of rational orientation in Al-Minar, coordination between Quran and the experimental findings as well as denial of traditionalism following imitation avoidance in Al-Minar could be named. In addition, of the most outstanding forms of intellectualism in Al-Minar, one can refer to material and sense-oriented interpretations plus Salafi approach. These flaws which have penetrated Al-Minar following Abdoh's life have given a dual approach to this interpretation.

Takfeer (Excommunication) is a phenomenon with which the Muslim world has been preoccupied since the era of Imām Ali and the event of Hakamiyyat. It is also utilized today as an instrument by some Salafis, called Takfeeris, who take a pride in slaughtering the Muslim, documenting it as legal through the theories of their early scholars.
Rashid Rida, one of the contemporary Salafi theorists, has well surveyed various aspects of Takfeer, being deeply influenced by the positions of Ibn Taymyyah.
This article seeks to explore the conditions of Takfeer from the viewpoint of Rashid Rida, who believes there must be distinguition amongst general conditions of Takfeer, excommunication of a definite person and the implementation of Takfeer laws. He defines the general condition of Takfeer as denial of one of the principles of religion but maintains Jahl (Ignorance) and Ta,weel (Interpretation) as two of the barriers on the way of excommunicating a definite person.
