Islamic Theological Perspectives on Intellectual Humility and the Conditioning of Interfaith Dialogue
Islamic Theological Perspectives on Intellectual Humility and the Conditioning of Interfaith Dialogue
This chapter presents the author's account of the difficulties of carrying on interreligious dialogue in what he and other Palestinians in Israel experience as living under occupation. He focuses on a number of historical precedents, including that of the Prophet Muhammad himself and the famed Pact of Umar, and from them makes an argument for mutual co-existence among Muslims, Jews, and Christians. He believes that the fact that there is more than one religion evokes humility. He also suggests that religious plurality may itself be a part of God's design for humanity.
Keywords: Palestinians, Israel, interreligious dialogue, Qurʾan, Muhammad, Muslims, Jews, Christians, humility
