In the present age, the media and the means of communication have so advanced that a person died fifty years ago, if resurrected in this world, will be embarrassed with this horrible change. The whole world has become a small village in which cultures have been so intermingled that the stronger one is engulfing the weaker one. However, the distances among individuals belonging to different cultures are shrinking and the political and geographical boundaries are still collapsing. Due to these drastic transformations, every idea or thinking (good or bad) finds an easy course to make an entry everywhere as a result every purpose has become attainable. Similarly, every individual, group and ideology has been provided with an equal opportunity of taking advantage and preaching Islamic ideology and injunctions have no exceptions. In the modern age, we find multiple techniques of Dawah in which the technique of Dialogue, whose manifestations are observed on media every day. It is a distinctive way mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah and practiced by Muslims from the very first day in the field of Islamic Dawah. This article studies the technique of dialogue in Dawah perspective from the following aspects: Meaning of dialogue, the best way of Dawah, its etiquettes and conditions like it must be among people not religions. Furthermore, its advantages, dialogue or clash, its importance in the age of globalization, the clash between science and church and the self-defeatism of Muslims. The paper proves that Islam prefers the way of dialogue to convey its message and in this regard we find many examples in the Quran and Sunnah. The Muslims, living in the global village, must use this tool to invite humanity to the only way of success in this world and hereafter.
