Dr. Mahmūd Hamdī Zaqzūq, Egyptian minister of endowments, highlights three main phases in the Muslim world’s relationship with the West. The first one started with the Abbasid Caliphate, the second started with the French expedition to Egypt and the third one is the contemporary era.
Zaqzūq believes that the common respect between Muslims and the West and efforts to overcome present problems seems to be the only way to have a constructive Islam-West dialogue.
Maḥmūd Ḥamdī Zaqzūq re-affirms that the West and the Islamic world will be able to solve their current misunderstandings only by abandoning the old ideas they have adopted toward each other.
The author refers to the need to hold fruitful Islam-West dialogue, and to curb the radical European trend that seeks to silence the moderate Islamic voice and to terrify people about the dangers of Islam and Muslims.

Dr. Maḥmūd Ḥamdī Zaqzūq argues that inter-religious dialogue will not be successful without first solving the issue of the possession of absolute truth, as dialogue cannot succeed if the participants do not accept and have a mutual respect for one another.
