There have been scholars within the Islamic tradition who showed gen-uine interest in studying and understanding other religious traditions on their own terms. Arguably, one of the best representatives of these scholars was al-Biruni (973-1048 CE) whose accomplishments in other disciplines, notably in natural sciences, overshadowed his crucial contribution to the study of religion This paper is an attempt to contribute to the current de-bate in the study of religion by analyzing the method al-Birûnî employed in his treatment of the religious traditions of India. In pursuing the subject, the paper aims to elucidate the phenomenological, dialogical and compar-ative aspects of al- Al-Biruni's thought in light of contemporary scholarship.
