Interreligious dialogue is a complex meeting ground between beliefs, truth, and ways of gaining knowledge. In this context, Islamic epistemology based on revelation as the main source of knowledge offers a unique and profound approach to understanding religious reality. This study aims to explore how Islamic epistemology, which combines revelation, reason, and experience, can contribute to the philosophical space of interreligious dialogue. The method used is a qualitative study through a philosophical-hermeneutic approach, by analyzing the main texts in the Islamic intellectual tradition and philosophical literature related to interreligious dialogue. The results of the study show that Islamic epistemology not only provides a strong theological foundation, but also opens up space for rational encounters with other religious traditions. Through the integration of revelation and reason, Islamic epistemology is able to present a dialogical perspective that is not relativistic but still respects the diversity of truth. The conclusion of this study confirms that Islamic epistemology can be a constructive philosophical foundation in building a more open, reflective, and ethical interreligious dialogue, without having to sacrifice the doctrinal uniqueness of each religion.
