An Elaboration of the Theory of Anonymous Muslims with a Comparison between Professor Motahhari's Theory and Karl Rahner's Theory of Anonymous Christians

One of the most important questions in philosophy of religion and modern theology is the salvation of the followers of other religions, well discussed by Karl Rahner and professor Motahhari. Comparing the ideas of the two great scholars, I have proved that we can talk of a theory of anonymous Muslims similar to the general model of the theory of anonymous Christians of Karl Rahner. Professor Motahhari poses innate and real Islam, compared with regional and formal Islam, and says the followers of other religions who are not officially and nominally called Muslims because they have not understood the rightfulness of Islam, but have innate Islam and cordial submission, are considered unofficial and anonymous Muslims and thus benefit salvation which is similar to the inclusion of the theory of anonymous Christians for non-Christians.
