Dialogue between Islam and Christianity from the Points of view of Ibn `Arabi and Eckhart

Great Abrahamic religions today are being attacked by atheistic beliefs and are said to be responsible for meeting the various expectations human beings demand from religion in this modern age. In order to reach a single unified position, the interreligious dialogues seem to be inevitable. This article seeks to propose that the way in which the dialogue takes form can be traced in the core of religions themselves and the mystics in various religious traditions can play a great role in paving the way for carrying out such dialogues Seeking to explain the dialogue between Islam and Christianity, the writer has selected Ibn `Arabi and Meister Eckhart, the two distinguished mystics, to discuss on the subject in question from their points of view. In addition, he tries to cast light on religious tolerance and study the difference between religious tolerance and religious pluralism, the unity of religions, the differences claimed to exist among the laws (Shariʹhas)and the theological obstacles or restrictions facing the dialougues and the way in which they can be removed.
