Abstract:
Praise be to Allah, Lord of world, prayer and peace be upon the most honorable creature prophet Mohammed and his pure progeny….His Almighty God created Man, preferred him amongst other creatures by making angels prostrate themselves before him, then sent him to Earth to test his rank; either to be satisfied with what God had chosen for him or to follow his wishes and desires. His Almighty God granted Man a reason or mind to guide him for the right path, yet his soul tempts him for the other path, so he has an interior balance. Satan had envied Man, promised to tempt and seduce all people, save the loyal worshipers of God, so there are two enemies for Man : - his soul and Satan. His Almighty God granted Man is the protector of Man, again, granted him a method, carried by the good people, so there are two supporters for Man : - his reason and the infallible person, represented by the prophets and the Divine caliphs. Hence the conflict between Man and Satan, soul and reason and falsehood, had imitated since the first day for Adam on Earth. All good and weak people are waiting for the day in which right and justice prevail everywhere. The idea of the savior is a natural one for everyone, the most Merciful had promised his appearance in all the heavenly books and preached for him by all His missions, prophets and messengers. This study is to exhibit the character of this savior in the Islamic thought and in the heavenly books, attempting to recognize his character; is he exist or he would be exist?This belief or doctrine is widely exist in all religions which agreed upon the idea of the savor and here lies the importance of this study which attempts to recognize the idea of savior of each heavenly or earthly religion in an objective, comparative and historical study.The study includes three chapters preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion with a bibliography. The first chapter includes three topics to show the meaning of savior in linguistics and tradition in different language, the Qur'anic texts that deal with this term in its different derivations and the term in the light of the holy prophetic traditions, respectively. The descriptive analytic method had been followed in this chapter.The second chapter exhibits the idea of Savior in the three heavenly religions chronically, that is to say starting with this doctrine in the Judaism, Christianity and Islam within three topics while the fourth topic compares the concept of savior in these three religions following the comparative historical method.The concept of savior in the positive religions is the subject of the third chapter which deals with it chronically within three topics : - Savior in Zoroastrianism, Indian and Buddhism, respectively, while the fourth topic compares the concept of savior in these three positive religions following the comparative historical method.The study concludes a number of important results that could be summarized as following : - The texts of the holy Qur'an and prophetic tradition make Muslims different from other in this field of study as these texts are a very important factor for the right understanding and concluding the right conclusions that could not be mistake. Muslims agreed that the origin of the Mahdawy idea comes from the issue of Imamate; the twelfth Imam Al - Mahdy is the savior for the Ithny Ashery doctrine, while in the other doctrines it is a pure futuristic issue
