Abstract
Interaction and conversation with others is an integral part of human life. This subject has been taken into consideration in the Holy Qur'an and the Prophet's tradition and the infallible Imams. The original version of Wahhabism, from the beginning of its existence until now, has had a negative and aggressive view towards Shia. They maintain that Shia people are not real Muslims. but care must be taken that the Wahhabis are not the same spectrum. Some of them distanced themselves from the original version of Wahhabism and call for dialogue and peace with Shia. Some Shia scholars have participated in the dialogues with some Wahhabis. This group of Wahhabis have their own reasons for dialogue with the Shia. Some of these reasons are as the following: the dialogue is a qur'anic principle, the Narrations also emphasize on the dialogue, fraternity and religious brotherhood, peaceful coexistence, common enemy, reaching unity and national dialogue.
