MULTIKULTURALISME DALAM WACANA ALQURAN
Abstract: The paper deals with
the concept of multiculturalism from the Quranic perspective. It is argued that
since the beginning, the Quran recognised and appreciated diversity based on
race, religion, culture, and so on. Even, the Quran itself was revealed in the
multicultural context. The epistemological basis for multiculturalism in the
discourse of the Quran is “human dignity”, from which emerge a set of basic
rights that must be respected and protected, which becomes an ethical
foundation of multiculturalism. As a consequence of protecting the basic
rights, the concept of justice and equality comes to surface. Since human
beings are created as sacred and equal, hurting them and their rights is
violation to universal humanity. Therefore, to achieve peace, toleration is
necessary. To do this task, the strategy of anti-discrimination and prejudice
reduction to different groups based on ethnicity, race, culture, and
religion—is highly necessary to be established according to local context.
