Dialogues

Often, one comes across people who invite others to a dialogue in which they believe that they are 100% right.

Dialogue between two parties who think they are 100% right won't be effective.

Dialogue between two parties that are unable to put themselves in the other party's shoe won't be effective.

Dialogues require courage. Lots of courage. It starts with self criticism.

The dialogues that I appreciate is where every party talks about it's weaknesses and areas for improvement within.

This will demonstrate accountability and integrity. Hence, trust will be developed, which is detrimental to any successful dialogue.

This philosophy is emphasized in Quran chapter 34 verse 25 that says:

"Say, "You will not be asked about what we committed, and we will not be asked about what you do."

Notice how Allah is teaching the prophet, may peace and the blessings of Allah be upon him,  to fairly chose his words while having dialogues with non muslims. Allah uses the malign word of "committed" to describe acts of muslims, while uses the benign word of "do" to describe acts of non muslim .

How often you have come across a dialogue wherein parties involved feel comfortable to show their owm weaknesses and accept their opponent's strengths?
