Abstract

A The fatal challenges that facing the humanity in the modern world give a high priority to the religions and makes the interfaith dialogue an essential necessity to ensure safe co-existence and cooperation among religions and nations. As the current practices in this regard became more and more urgent, we need to revive the Islamic long and mature experiments all along the history of Islam. But this need a reflective and creative mind that can absorb this voluminous tradition and have the ability to communicate the followers of other religions, and only few, if any, that rose for this mission. Ismail Raji Al-faruqi (1921-1986), the Palestinian scholar, is one of the rare person that achieved this position. His career was long story of struggle and restless activities to show the western world the actual face of Islam, and to show the Muslims alike, the greatness of their civilization, and the ways to restore their glory to guide the humanity. In this thesis we manage to examine the role of Al-Faruqi in the field of Interfaith dialogue, through studying his scholarly and intellectual achievement To give a faithful treatment for this topic, we divided the thesis into five chapters: Chapter one, surely, must dwelt be on (Hiwar) dialogue, its linguistic rooting, terminology, and applications. Also, the chapter examines the synonymous terms such as (Jadal ) Polemic, (Hijaj) argumentation and (Niqash) discussion, the significance given by each term. Then we dealt with the legitimacy of dialogue with the other in Islamic religion, and the evidences that assure its Quranic and prophetic origins. The second topic of the first chapter, is to surveyed the long history of Muslim- Christian-Jewish encounters down to the modern world B No doubt Al- Faruqi personal and scientific biography is at the core of our interest, the second chapter is devoted to studying the career of Al Faruqi since its early childhood in Palestine and his study at American University of Beirut in 1940s. His later studies in USA and his MA and PhD. works are handled in the section two. Then we continue with focusing on his scholarly posts in McGill University, Pakistan, Chicago University, and lastly as a Professor of Islamic studies in Temple University since 1968 until his murder in 1986 . The rest of the chapter is divided into two parts: Part one handled Al-Faruqi scholarly literary outputs in the field of Interfaith dialogue, especially his monumental book ( Christian Ethics) which aroused much debate among the western clerics. Part two is devoted for practical efforts which is as important as his writings; the institutions he established, the educational efforts he made, and solid and inspiring model for his students and his impact on them were presented. The third chapter of the thesis was entitled: (Al-Faruqi’s Sources in the interfaith dialogue),Firstly, comes his treatment of The Holy Scriptures; The glorious Quran, The Bible and the New Testament. The idea is to investigate Al-Faruqi's use of them in his comparison and dialogues. Then we pursue his drawing from other sources, Islamic and non-Islamic, classical and modern. No doubt, he acknowledge more than once his debt to Al-Bairuni, Al-Sharistani and especially Ibn Taymiyya. The Fourth Chapter titled Al-Faruqi theory of understanding and comparative religion as a prelude to the Interfaith dialogue; it subdivided into two sections: Al- Faruqi theory of religion : the Phenomenology and Al-Faruqi theory of comparative religion. Section one handled the Phenomenology before Al-Faruqi and his criticism and his additions to make it more compatible for understating of religion. Section two dealt with the theory of (Meta-religion) witch elaborated by Al-Faruqi as a base for his measurement of the originality of any religion . The Last chapter concentrates on Al- Faruqi interfaith contributions in theory and practice. It intended to evaluate Al-Faruqi achievement on the light of modern and post –modern challenges, and the validity of his concept in regard the current situation. The thesis concludes with some results like : The dialogue is an essential Islamic practice, derived its legality from Quran and Sunna on condition that should not betray main Islamic ideas The Muslims apologia rose as a response to Jewish and Christian Polemical works against Islam Ismail Al-Faruqi was a rare Islamic scholar who well-educated on Islamic and western cultures and totally fitted to be an actual representative of Islam in Interfaith dialogue Al-Faruqi left a very expensive legacy of Scholarly writings and also a model for others in his personal role in western academia and clerical milieu alike; His participations in dialogue was a unique experiment that arose much respects in western world and he ably acknowledged as a bold and well-equipped advocate of Islam. Al-Faruqi elaborations on the theory of meta-religion made him as one of world famous theorist side by side with big names like Joseph Kitagawa, Kramer and Van der leeuw and others Al-Faruqi ideas on interfaith dialogue are much needed today because the Muslims are facing a tremendous challenges on all spheres.
