Faith is one of the basic concepts in different religions and has many examples because each religion is based on certain beliefs. The basis of religion in Islam is the belief in the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad, but the beliefin Christianity is based on believing by lordship of God with lordship of Jesus. This difference caused the concept of salvation to be presented differently in religions. Therefore, the views of contemporary Arab thinkers on salvation and religious pluralism are different; some chose an inclusive view on the salvation of the followers of other religions, while others preferred an exclusivist view. According to the first point of view, salvation includes the followers of other religions, but according to the second point of view, it does not include their status. These two contemporary approaches were examined in this article based on the perspective of the contemporary thinker Dr. Abdul Jabbar al-Rifai. So far, the views of contemporary Arab thinkers from both Christian and Islamic traditions - especially the view of Abdul Jabbar al-Rifai - have not been examined in an independent research form. The premise of this article is that humans do not deserve punishment in terms of humanity, and therefore, the main question of this research has been raised based on Al-Rifa'i's point of view.How does this contemporary thinker think about religious pluralism and the salvation of followers of other religions? Does he believe in the plurality of religions and the possibility of saving non-Muslims or not?

Keywords: Islam, Christianity, pluralism of religions, universalism, exclusivity, Abdul Jabbar Al-Rifai
