Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam Berbasis Multikultural

Abstract

The multicultural reality of Indonesian society demands an adaptive and inclusive Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum. A multicultural-based PAI curriculum is designed to integrate Islamic values with principles of tolerance, inclusivity, justice, and respect for diversity. This article aims to examine the concept, foundations, and implementation strategies of a multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education curriculum, as well as its relevance in fostering harmonious social relations in a pluralistic society. Using a qualitative literature-based approach, this study finds that a multicultural-based PAI curriculum is essential to strengthen students’ religious understanding while simultaneously developing social awareness and multicultural competence in the era of globalization.
