Abstract
This article deals with the views of the American scholar of Palestinian origin Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi (1921–1986), specialist on the interfaith dialogue. Al-Faruqi’s contribution to the development of interfaith communication could be considered both as his academic activity as well as the result of his personal convictions. In this regard the special attention is paid to Al-Faruqi’s analysis of the concept of “natural religion” (din alfitrah) and his looking for universal principles permitting to begin a conversation. The author comes to the conclusion that (1) the idea of al-Faruqi’s Islamic humanism depends from his positive interpretation of human nature (fitrah), and that (2) al-Faruqi consider ethics as the basis for the formation of a common platform for interfaith communication.
