Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in building social harmony in a multicultural society characterized by religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity. The challenges of increasing intolerance and social conflict require strengthening inclusive values ​​in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. This study aims to analyze the contribution of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in building social harmony in the multicultural era, identify key values ​​that support tolerance, and examine their implementation in the learning process. The method used is a qualitative approach with a library research type, using data from scientific journals, books, and relevant documents from the last five years analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results show that PAI values ​​such as tolerance (tasamuh), justice (adl), balance (tawazun), and brotherhood (ukhuwah) contribute significantly to building social harmony, which is strengthened through dialogic, contextual, and experience-based learning and supported by the role of teachers and an inclusive school culture. In conclusion, PAI has a strategic function as an instrument for building social character that is able to create a harmonious, tolerant, and civilized society amidst diversity.
