Abstract
This paper attempted to examine the Islamic and Christian conflicts caused by da'wah or missions to spread religion by referring to the source of the da'wah call, namely the Qur'an and the Bible, and then compared them with the aim of finding common ground for the origin of the conflict. This research was a qualitative research (library research). The data were processed and analyzed by comparative descriptive method. The results showed that: first, Islam and Christianity were da'wah religions because it was evidenced from two holy book sources that both religions had verses calling to spread their religion. Second, after being investigated, the source of the conflict between Islam and Christianity was caused by certain elements who preached or conveyed religious but ignoring the prevailing ethics. Third, after tracing and reviewing and comparing the two sources of reference for the two religions, both Islam (Al-Qur'an) and Christianity (gospel) never justified da'wah carried out in an impolite way or cause a bloodshed. In contrast, the two religions often taught peace and love. Therefore, it was a need for re-reading and complete understanding of the da'wah verses both Islam and Christianity.

Summary
Islam dan Kristen adalah dua agama yang memiliki jumlah pemeluk paling banyak di dunia. Di situ kita bisa melihat bahwa tidak ada konotasi untuk memaksa seseorang atau melakukan cara yang licik untuk memasukkan seseorang kedalam suatu agama, namun fakta yang sering didapati dilapangan justru misi penyebaran agama sering menimbulkan konflik antara Islam-Kristen yang ujungujungnya menyebabkan terjadinya kekerasan, permusuhan, dan sebagainya seakan kitab sucilah yang menginginkan akan hal itu, padahal ketika merujuk kedalam kedua kitab suci agama ini tidak ditemui adanya pembolehan dan penghalalan sampai semacam ini dalam berdakwah. Asumsi awal yang dibangun sebagai pijakan dalam tulisan ini adalah bahwasanya, pertama, konflik yang sering terjadi antara Islam dan Kristen di Indonesia disebabkan oleh salah satunya karena adanya kecurigaan antara kedua belah pihak karena dianggap saling merebut pemeluknya yang disebabkan oleh kegiatan dakwah yang tidak mengedepankan etika dan peranturan yang telah disepakati. Terjadinya konflik antar umat Islam dan Kristen terkait persoalan dakwah agaknya disebabkan kurangnya pemahaman mengenai pembacaan pada kitab suci terkait ayat-ayat perintah dakwah tersebut
