Multicultural education is an important educational approach for developing mutual respect toward differences in a pluralistic society. In the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, multicultural education plays a significant role in shaping students’ character, promoting tolerance, encouraging mutual respect, and strengthening the values of religious moderation. This study highlights the importance of integrating multicultural values into the learning process to support harmonious social interaction among students from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. The implementation of multicultural education in PAI learning can be carried out through the integration of values such as tolerance, justice, balance, cooperation, and respect for diversity within classroom activities and learning materials. Teachers also play an important role in creating inclusive learning environments that encourage open dialogue and appreciation of differences. Through the application of multicultural education, students are expected to develop attitudes of moderation and social awareness. Therefore, multicultural education in PAI learning becomes a strategic effort to strengthen religious moderation and create a harmonious, inclusive, and respectful educational environment.
