This paper attempts to study the methodology of classical scholar of ‘Ilm al-KalÉm, Ibn ×azm, in comparative religion with special reference to his master piece “Al-Fal f al-Milal wa al-Ahw’ wa al-Nial.” It will provide extensive exposition of Ibn ×azm’s contribution in the development of the science of comparative religion. The focus of this research will be on the study of: (1) bibliography of Ibn Hazm and his writings related to comparative religion; and, (2) the methodology used by him in his study of Christianity with examples.
