Apart from that, this research also explains the basic principles in the Koran relating to dialogue with other people, whether fellow Muslims or with followers of other religions (non-Muslims. This research argues that the Holy Qur’an’s interest in dialogue, that it is a humanitarian necessity, a legal obligation, and a modern need, and that the glorious Book of God includes important foundations that must be adhered to in dialogue with others, all of this is evidence that the nation of the Qur’an have been advocates of dialogue throughout their history.
