Современные подходы к изучению исламской сотериологии

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the research methodology of Islamic soteriology in the field of re-ligious studies. The main focus is on empirical and theoretical research paths. It is noted that Islamic soteriology as an object of study can be considered through sociological tools, religious and technical terminology as well as from the point of view of religious exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism. Based on the analysis of relevant sources, this paper points out the conceptual series of Islamic sote-riology and highlights key personalities of Muslim theologians whose works contain the issues of salvation. The research demonstrates that the basis of Islamic soteriology study is methodological and ideological pluralism. The author concludes that the pluralism inherent in Islamic thought pro-vides a golden opportunity for modern scholars and Muslim theologians to formulate an optimistic soteriology in the fold of Islam and extrapolate its positive consequences to the area of interreligious dialogue.
