ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE OF DIALOGUE AMONG CIVILIZATIONS FOR GLOBAL PEACE AND CO-EXISTENCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
It can be argued that human beings possess an inherent tendency towards engaging in dialogue and communication with others. The promotion of dialogue is a significant aspect of Islam, aimed at promoting compassion and peace between individuals with varying beliefs and backgrounds. The possession of Divine logos enables him to engage in meaningful discourse with others, as he is capable of understanding and exploring the nature of things. Dialogues occur among various individuals and groups, including scholars, philosophers, cultures, religions, and common people in their daily lives. The presence of this phenomenon can be observed in prominent religious texts and the actions of their respective founders. The study aims to analyze the principles and rules of effective communication as stated in the Holy Quran. Different types of dialogue are used by scholars to promote relationships between religions, including "Interfaith dialogue" and "Interreligious dialogue." Additionally, there are broader forms of dialogue between cultures and civilizations, such as "dialogue among civilizations." The Muslim viewpoint on dialogue considers both forms of dialogue. Interreligious dialogue is supported by the Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad. Some various precepts and events demonstrate how the Prophet established relationships with other religious communities. Individuals belong to different religious groups. The Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad emphasized the importance of maintaining relations with other ethnic groups and communities for trade and cross-cultural interactions. The tradition of dual conversation has been upheld by Muslims throughout history. The Muslim approach to dialogue involves engagement with other religious communities on both secular and spiritual levels. The article will examine the Islamic viewpoint on dialogue, specifically regarding interfaith dialogue and political dialogue with other civilizations to promote global peace and coexistence.
