Abstract:
The Quranic discourse occupies the ideal position between all rhetoric texts whether these texts are from heaven or products of human beings subject to false and real criteria. The issue of interfaith dialogue is one of the issues touched upon by the Quran. It is a calling speech directed to human beings in all their times and places so as to bring them to the right approach in worship, taking the dialogue style as a key to their life. The state of religious dialogue has occupied a wide area in the world intellectual studies, whether the Islamic world or else, and whether it is ancient or contemporary. The perspectives towards this issue have been varied in which there are impulsive supporters and others who are extremist opponents, and there are neutral individuals. However, a deep meditation in the Holy Quran leads to that Quran was flexible in its treatment with the idea of religious dialogue. Since, the Quraan has acknowledged the divine religions that are not distorted and considers all people, who believe in a religion, as promised individuals, confessing what they are on, unless those people initiate a war or treachery. This religion is the true religion and is the last religion that does not treat the other as if they were eliminated. Instead, this religion has launched the dialogue with others as all have common denominators. As for earthly religions, this religion aims at converting people to unite Al - mighty Allah with His worshipers, without engaging with them in a joint issue, except for few matters.Based on the above ideas, the researcher attempts to tackle religions' dialogue in the Holy Quran, adopting the descriptive analytical method, and using modern linguistic approaches especially the pragmatic approach that goes beyond the semantic level of looking at the relationship of marks with their construing.The dialogue is an important means of advocacy tool for the worship of Allah and embraces the true religion by which the right image of the doctrines of religion and its regulations and etiquette will be so clear. This includes what prophets had done with their people or with people from other religions concerning the dialogue in different ways and diverse styles in which these have been involved under one name "religions dialogue". The pragmatic style is considered as the most suitable style for the study of religions dialogue in the Holy Quran as it is a communicative activity based on converting the language proficiency to accomplished communicative proficiency.The Quranic discourse has been depended on using the historical proverb heavily in interfaith dialogue. This was taken as a major argument to persuade offenders to return for their perversions, learning from what affected others, who had been doing like their work. This contributes to the discourse enhancement and influences the recipient.The Holy Quran has used and employed most of the arguments techniques in its addressing; this justifies its arguments presentation and construction to get the required results, especially in the verses of interfaith dialogue. The Quran has also used the language tools in all kinds and relied on rhetorical mechanisms that play great roles on impact on receiver. In addition, it has used semi - logical mechanisms, represented by peaceful debate in which its debate has come cogent. Therefore, it is a reasoning directed to audience in different times and places, seeking to persuade people based on argument and evidence
