TRANSFORMASI KESETARAAN DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: PENDEKATAN MULTIKULTURAL UNTUK GENERASI GLOBAL

Abstract

This research aims to explore the concept of equality in Islam, analyze the principles of multicultural education, and formulate its relevance for the development of progressive and globally oriented Islamic education. This research uses a literature study method by examining various scientific literature, Islamic normative sources, and contemporary studies on multicultural education. The results of the study show that Islam has a strong theological foundation on human equality through the principles of justice, human dignity, brotherhood, and respect for differences. The findings of the study also show that multicultural education can be a pedagogical framework for integrating the values of inclusivity, tolerance, dialogue, and respect for diversity in the Islamic education system. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening the idea of transforming Islamic education based on multicultural equality through curriculum reform, improving educator competence, and developing an inclusive, adaptive, and competitive school culture for the global Muslim generation. The implications of this study affirm the importance of Islamic educational institutions to build policies, curricula, and learning practices that are responsive to diversity, so as to be able to produce students who are religious, open-minded, tolerant, and ready to participate in global life in a peaceful and constructive manner.
