چکیده
This paper examines mokṣa in Indian philosophy and salvation in Islamic thought through a comparative philosophical and theological analysis. It explores how both traditions understand the human condition, suffering, moral responsibility, selfhood, spiritual transformation, and ultimate destiny. The study argues that although mokṣa and salvation share a common soteriological concern with overcoming human limitation and attaining ultimate fulfilment, they emerge from distinct metaphysical and theological frameworks. Indian traditions variously understand mokṣa as liberation from saṃsāra, ignorance, suffering, or karmic bondage, while Islamic salvation is associated with īmān, righteous action, repentance, divine mercy, judgment, and the Hereafter. Particular attention is given to cyclical rebirth and linear eschatology, karma and divine judgment, and differing conceptions of self and ultimate reality. The paper also examines knowledge, ethical practice, devotion, repentance, and divine grace. It concludes that mokṣa and Islamic salvation are analogous but non-identical soteriological concepts, offering a meaningful basis for philosophical dialogue while preserving their distinctive intellectual and theological identities.
