al-Qur’ān and dialogue

Dialogue is one of the most important issues in the world because it directly refers to man’s mind. However, the dialogue in the Qur’ān acquires man’s mind to develop faith in Allah. A dialogue process between Gabriel and Prophet Muhammad SAW was the turning point before the first revelation sent to him. In fact, the dialogue appears to be a fundamental tool in communication which it has own strength, and plays a significant role in developing faith and belief. This process, then, moves to the next level of view’s sharing and exchange in which it would achieve better and stronger belief. This paper conducted an analysis which it has proved the Qur’ān strongly emphasized the dialogue process. The result of this paper presented ten elements of the dialogue in the Qur’ān which are comprised of da’wah, conversation/ debate, reading, speech, advise, reminder, instruction, interview-listening and supplication.
