This publication presents two refined versions of a PhD thesis (1996-2000) exploring Abrahamic interfaith dialogue, primarily from an Islamic perspective. It examines the concept of religious pluralism within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, contrasting exclusivist and inclusivist viewpoints. The work critically analyses the Abrahamic Dialogue Project, assessing its objectives and potential challenges to Islamic identity and doctrine, particularly concerning the notion of a unified 'Abrahamic religion' The author offers a detailed examination of the figure of Abraham across the three faiths and their respective scriptures. Finally, it concludes with recommendations for fostering respectful interfaith engagement without compromising Islam’s distinct religious identity.
