Abstract:
This article outlines the elementary foundations of interreligious dialogue from an Islamic theological perspective. In various verses, the Koran refers to the Psalms, the Torah and the Gospel, as it sees itself as the consummation and keystone of divine revelations to mankind. Other verses indicate that the diversity of people is inherent in creation – both the linguistic, cultural and physical diversity as well as the ideological diversity is therefore to be understood as an expression of divine will and should be respected, appreciated and lived in constant exchange and dialogue. The prerequisite for this is an emphatic attitude towards others, the interest in getting to know them better and exchanging ideas with them. Getting to know one another as the basis of any dialogue is even mentioned in the Koran as the goal of creation: the goal of creating human beings in their diverse diversity is Ta’āruf (getting to know one another, learning about one another, knowing and recognizing one another). Based on this foundation, the foundations and interests of the interreligious dialogue with Jews and Christians are discussed from an Islamic-theological perspective.
