Summary/Abstract: The great Abrahamic religions today are exposed to the attacks of atheistic thought and should provide the answer that modern man expects from religion. Therefore, their mutual dialogue with the aim of achieving a unified position seems inevitable. This paper believes that the path of dialogue should be sought within religion, and the Gnostics may have the largest share in this. In the context of the dialogue between Islam and Christianity, the author chose Ibn Arabi and Master Eckhart as the greatest Gnostics - theorists of Islam and Christianity and analyzed this topic from their perspectives. From the perspective of these two Gnostics, the paper discusses issues such as religious tolerance and its difference from pluralism, the unity of religions and differences in religious law, and theological obstacles to dialogue between Islam and Christianity and ways to overcome them.
