Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2013, Vol 45, Issue 91
Abstract
One of the most important issues of Abrahamic Religions is faith. Paul the Apostle and Fakhr Rāzī, two thinkers in two religious fields of Christianity and Islam, have expressed their opinions in details in this regard. In discussing the consequences of faith, Paul the Apostle talks about salvation, justness, new life, security from devils and enemies, calmness and reception of God’s promises. Fakhr Rāzī also believes that faith would remove the punishment of blasphemy. He views forgiveness of sins, safety in this world and the Hereafter, noble sustenance, Paradise and eternal well-being, dignity and affection as being among the consequences of faith. The views of these two thinkers concerning the consequences of faith are comparable. The present article addresses their viewpoints on the consequences of faith with a descriptive, analytical, and comparative method. This survey indicates that both consider salvation, calmness, security, forgiveness of sins, and a new life as the consequences of faith. However, there are some differences in their opinions as well.
