Multicultural Education Based on Al-Qur’an (Literature Study of Al Azhar Interpretation)

Abstract

The multicultural conflict has always been a separate phenomenon in society. Multicultural education is an alternative to prevent conflicts that occur in multicultural societies. The Al-Qur'an explores humanistic principles and values in interacting with other human beings in group and inter-group interactions that must be studied to resolve all conflicts that befall society. Al Azhar interpretation is one approach to exploring the contents of the Qur'an. This study aims to analyze verses of Al.Qur’an related to multicultural education from the perspective of Al Azhar's interpretation. The method used is a literature review approach. The data analyzed are journals and books related to multicultural education from the perspective of Al Azhar's interpretation. The analysis used is content analysis. The results of the study found that Al Azhar interpretation argued that the concept of unity and equality needs to be taught in the concept of multicultural education. The concept of unity and similarity can be seen from two things. 1) The unity and similarity of human origins from the same father and mother. 2) The unity and similarity of belief make humans brothers and sisters. Diversity is the starting point for conflicts in people's lives.
