Religious Model of Intercultural Communications

Intercultural communications have been frequently discussed in recent years. Bennett has discussed six stages of facing cultural differences which range from absolute ethnocentrism to absolute relativism. This paper aims to answer the question about whether a model based on the Islamic sources will match one of the aforesaid six phases or an independent model for intercultural communications is needed? The results show that this model does not conform to any of the above stages, but is an independent theory and this paper tries to expound its basic principles on the basis of the Quranic verses and Islamic traditions.
