Abstract

The practice of interreligious coexistence in Islam holds significant relevance for Islamic education, particularly in shaping tolerant, just, and inclusive character within multicultural societies. Islam, as a religion that emphasizes peace and justice, provides a normative foundation for curriculum development and educational practices that encourage learners to respect differences, build harmonious relations with adherents of other faiths, and understand the rights and obligations among religious communities. This study aims to analyze the practice of interreligious life from an Islamic perspective with a focus on its implications for Islamic education. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected from 20 informants consisting of academics, education practitioners, and community leaders through in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 software to identify key patterns and themes. The findings reveal four major aspects: respect for each religion’s principles, universal justice without discrimination, inclusive social relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, and equality of rights and obligations among religious groups. The implications highlight that Islamic values can serve as a normative framework for strengthening multicultural-based Islamic education and fostering tolerance, while simultaneously contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly quality education (SDG 4), reduced inequalities (SDG 10), peace and justice (SDG 16), and global partnerships (SDG 17).

Abstract

The teaching of the Quran requires teachers to master fundamental instructional skills comprehensively, as they are not merely transmitters of sacred texts but also facilitators of effective, interactive, and meaningful learning processes. Such mastery enables teachers to foster students’ motivation, improve the quality of recitation, and cultivate an emotional connection with the Quran. This study aims to examine the concept and practice of nine essential teaching skills in Quranic instruction and to explore how these skills are implemented in classroom settings. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, data were drawn from theories, expert opinions, and the review of 120 relevant scholarly articles. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software. The findings highlight nine core teaching skills that Quran teachers must acquire both theoretically and practically: i) openings and ii) closures enhance attentiveness and reflection, iii) explanation and iv) questioning strengthen comprehension and critical engagement, v) reinforcement and vi) variation sustain motivation, while vii) classroom management, viii) group discussions, ix) and individualized teaching foster discipline, collaboration, and inclusivity. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening the conceptual framework of basic teaching skills within Islamic education, and practically by offering insights for teacher training, curriculum development, and policy initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of Quranic pedagogy in Islamic educational institutions.
