چکیده:
This study attempted to explore the similarities and differences between pluralism and Islam. For this purpose the researcher tried to investigate the basic principles of both pluralism and islam in detail. The comprehensive study through the related literature was
done and the result revealed that from the point of view of Islam، religious pluralism is incorrect because it have clear proofs that Islam is the true religion and that the other religions cannot be on par with it. Also، the fact that the Noble Qur`an has not been
tampered with and that Islam is the final and conclusive religion effectively amounts to the abrogation of the religions predating Islam.

There should also be some points about the fact that only a son of the prophet of Islam and a member of the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet’s family) named Mahdi – according to the traditions received from the Prophet and the Shiite infallible Imams will materialize the promise of God. According to the Shiite, one might conclude from these points the oneness of religion, the genuineness of Islam, the seal of the prophecy, the eternality and inclusiveness of Islam, the negation of pluralism and religious multiplicity, the repudiation of the idea of the genuineness of all religions as well as the felicity and happiness of the followers of all religions and divine laws: 1.
