On the other it refers to the phenomenon of the soul being saved as in safe from some unfortunate destiny. In the former, divine agency gives rise to the situation of the latter. However, even within Islam and Christianity devotion, petition, supplication and liturgical participation are not enough alone to bring about salvation.

In Indian religions, for example, the concept of salvation which is called moksha involves being free from an endless process of Reincarnation transmigration of the soul , a belief that is absent from Abrahamic soteriology.
