    Murtadha Mutahhari is a respected proponent of Muslim inclusivism. He maintains that non-Muslims are at a disadvantage because it is the Islamic Divine Law that leads people to God. Those who fully understand this law (Islam) but choose not to accept the truth will be damned. However, in accordance with Islamic jurisprudence, God will be merciful to those who seek the truth but from whom, through no fault of their own, the reality of Islam remains hidden. Such people cannot be called unbelievers
