Islamic Thought, Multiculturalism, Globalization.Abstract
Globalization has led to increasingly intensive interactions between
individuals and groups with diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic
backgrounds. This condition has given rise to a multicultural society that
offers opportunities for cooperation and social progress, but also presents
challenges in the form of intolerance, discrimination, social conflict, and
identity crises. This article aims to examine Islamic thought in facing the
challenges of multiculturalism in the era of globalization. The method used
is a literature study by analyzing various sources of literature related to
Islamic thought and the concept of multiculturalism. The results of the
study indicate that Islam has a strong foundation in supporting
multicultural life through the values of tolerance (tasamuh), justice (al
'adl), brotherhood (ukhuwwah), and moderation (wasathiyah).
Contemporary Islamic thought emphasizes the importance of interfaith
dialogue, respect for diversity, and strengthening humanitarian values in
building a harmonious social life. Therefore, Islamic thought can be one
solution in facing the various challenges of multiculturalism in the era of
globalization and contribute to creating a peaceful, inclusive, and just
society.
