The Relation between Weakness and Salvation from Allameh Tabatabaie and Shahid Motahari􀀂s Viewpoints

One of the basic questions asked by the researchers in the field of religion is that whether all of the followers of religions are the people of salvation or whether a few certain people will be saved and reach salvation and in this regard, what kind of destiny is waiting for the weak people - who form a great deal of human population? What are the opinions of religious resources and scholars in this respect? Comparing Allameh Tabatabaie and Shahid Motahari􀀇s viewpoints, the paper deals with illustration of the relation between religious weakness and salvation. These two thinkers not only believe in negative salvation of the weak people but they also believe in affirmative salvation i.e. entrance of the weak people to paradise. It should, of course, be mentioned that Allameh Tabatabaie has come to this conclusion through inclusion of the God􀀇s forgiveness and Shahid Motahari through the lack of their apostasy and having innate religion.
