Abstract: 
My research consists of an introduction and four chapters. In the introduction, I clarified the concept of dialogue linguistically and conventionally I also explained the most important differences between the dialogue and argument. In the first chapter, I introduced patterns of the dialogue in the Holy Quran through dialogue among messengers peace be upon them with their people. Besides to that, I explored the dialogue between Moses peace be upon him and the good man, Al Khader, in addition to the dialogue among the disciples and the masters who misled them on the day of resurrection. Finally, I came up with the most important lesson or advice from the dialogue in these examples. In the second chapter, I discussed the principles of the dialogue and persuasion, beginning with the mutual respect among the talkers, then searching for the truth, and I ended this chapter by kindness, flexibility, and gentleness . In the third chapter, I dealt with the rules of the dialogue and debate which include: active listening, the personality of the talker, the strategy of ending the dialogue. Finally, I came up with several useful tips for a successful dialogue. In the fourth chapter, I dealt with the dialogue of cultures with the respect of Holy Quran , and I explained its rules and objectives. I came up with rules and morals which must be taken into consideration so as to make the dialogue constructive and successful. I also recommended all preachers and talkers to be committed to these rules and moral.
