‘INTERFAITH DIALOGUE’ DAN HUBUNGAN ANTARAGAMA DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
ABSTRACT: This article
addresses issues related to the interfaith dialogue, focusing on the historical
context from which it emerged and uncovering the tacit assumptions underlying
the idea. It is argued that interfaith dialogue is part and parcel of the
Christian mission which seeks to promote inclusivism but also eventually leads
to pluralism and relativism. In addition, the article also discusses the three
approaches taken by Muslims throughout centuries in dealing with people of
other faiths. This article addresses issues related to the interfaith dialogue,

also discusses the three approaches taken by Muslims throughout centuries in
dealing with people of other faiths. First approach is to call with wisdom and
good advice (da‘wah bil hikmah wal mau‘izah alh} asanah). The second is to
argue with what better (jidal billati hiya ah } san). And the last approach
used is war.
