The problem of religious diversity and related questions including the questions of rightfulness and salvation are of great religionological importance. One of the many answers to this problem is a version of inclusivism developed by Muslims researchers using the teachings of Sadraian philosophy, in particular the graded distinction, which could be called ‘the inclusivism of graded rightfulness’. Using the teachings of Sadra’s philosophy and gradation theory and a descriptive-analytic examining of this reading of inclusivism, this article has investigated and inquired this inclusivism, which puts numerous existent religions in a graded hierarchy of rightfulness. Accordingly, the distinction among the existent religions was a graded one and has the characteristics of a graded hierarchy; so, for instance, it consists of a kind of composition of having and lacking, and higher ranks include the perfections of lower ranks. Thus the higher the rank of a religion in the graded hierarchy of rightfulness is, the more right beliefs it has and so has some graded covering regarding to the lower ranks.

The relation between language and fact in philosophy, generally, and in philosophy of language, particularly, raises issues in semantics and reference theory. Every philosophical approach to the phenomenon of diversity and the plurality of religions should consider these linguistic issues. The reference and semantic theories that are chosen to deal with religious diversity problem shouldn’t undermine the integrity and consistency of the theory. The incompatibility among religious propositions and different language of religions to talk about the transcendental is one of most important philosophical problems of which different approaches try to offer a reasonable explanation, in such a way that they could defend the existence of the transcendental, its unity, and the possibility of different, event incompatible, words on this reality, simultaneously. Analyzing the linguistic presuppositions of the transcendent in the religious diversity problem, we attempt to study Hick’s two mythical narratives and Byrne’s metaphorical narrative of contemporary pluralism, comparatively.
