The issue of interreligious dialogue has been seriously examined within Islamic theology since the dawn of Islam. Islamic religious texts have elucidated the rationale, methods, policies, and related topics concerning this dialogue. This research seeks to explore the viewpoint of Islamic sacred texts on the subject of interreligious dialogue. It presents its discussions across six key areas: the necessity of interreligious dialogue, its historical background, the methods and policies of interreligious dialogue, and its topics and implementation, all based on data from Islamic sacred texts. Furthermore, the paper examines Islam's policies regarding the acceptance of religious diversity, respect for religious freedoms, and the creation of an environment for constructive dialogue among religions. The aim of this article is to clarify the position of interreligious dialogue in Islam and to offer strategies for international interactions founded on religious and human principles. Ultimately, the findings of the article demonstrate that interreligious dialogue in Islam can play a significant role in reducing tensions and promoting global peace. This research was conducted through a review of data from Islamic sacred texts, utilizing a library-based methodology.
