Abstract

The activities of interfaith dialogue are a necessity for acquiring a better and building bridge between different communities and in conveying the truth of Islam. Therefore, from the perspective of Islamic tradition, there have been interfaith discourse activities between Muslims and non-Muslims since the Prophet’s period. The article discusses the practice of interfaith dialogue which has been established by the Prophet in increasing mutual understanding among religious people. Among the parties involved are Jews and Christians such as Christian’s delegations from Najran, the kings of Rome and the al-Najashi’s rulers. The ethics and its approaches in interfaith discourse has been applied of the prophet (PBUH) were discussed. The discourse was conducted on Islamic basis, it delivered in prudent, modest and in highly manners. Research methods used to examine these issues are largely qualitative, and consist of approaches such as historical research and content analyses. As a result, the participation and interaction of Muslims and Non Muslims in interfaith dialogue have brought Non Muslims converted to Islam after having a discourse with them. But, because of ruthless attitude among non-Muslims, particularly Jews towards Muslims, therefore there are some objections vehement and opposing views of the community of Medina.
