Come! let us call our sons, and your sons, our
women and your women, our souls and your

souls then let us pray earnestly, and call down
Allah’s curses upon the liars” (Aal-Imran: 59-61).

This indicates that at the end of every dialogue,
there should be peace, and judgement should be left
with Allah. The Qur’an says:
“Indeed, Allah will judge between the faithful,
the Jews, the Serbians, the Christians, the
Magians and the polytheists on the Day of
Resurrection. Indeed Allah is witness to all
things” (Al Hajj: 17).
Again it says: “there is no compulsion in
religion…” (Al-Baqara: 256).

Means of Interfaith Dialogue before the Cyberspace

Interfaith dialogue between or among people of the
same religion or different religion existed long ago in
various forms.
Humans saw the need for peaceful co-existence a
vital need for the world, and thus tried in various ways
to achieve that goal.
Today, the need for a more harmonious society
surpasses that of yesterday. The rampant turmoil in
the world is a witness to this situation.
In the previous years, various means have been
employed to achieve this goal. Some have been
successful whiles others end up leaving more rift
among the people.
