Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept and implementation of multicultural Islamic education as a strategic solution in facing the reality of Indonesia's diversity. Multicultural Islamic education is understood as an educational strategy that utilizes the diversity of students' cultures, ethnicities, religions, and social backgrounds to create an inclusive and effective learning process. The theoretical basis of this study includes James A. Banks' five dimensions of multicultural education and the Islamic perspective of rahmatan li al-'ālamīn, which views differences as sunnatullah. The method used is a literature review analyzing various literature related to multicultural values in Islam and educational practices. The results of the discussion show that the main values of multiculturalism in Islam are rooted in the principles of equality (al-musāwah), justice (al ‘adālah), tolerance (al-tasāmuḥ), and deliberation (al-shūrā). The implementation of this concept in educational institutions requires the restructuring of school culture, the development of an inclusive religious paradigm, gender sensitivity, and the elimination of all forms of ethnic and ability discrimination. In conclusion, the integration of multicultural values in Islamic education plays a crucial role in shaping a young generation that is tolerant and capable of becoming agents in reducing ethnic, religious, and racial conflicts as well as radicalism.
