Indonesia is a multicultural country, yet tolerance is often limited to mere understanding. Therefore, education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ character so they can live in harmony. This study aims to analyze the multicultural principles of Surah Al-Hujurat: 13, construct a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) instructional framework based on these values, and examine its implications and implementation recommendations for Islamic Education (PAI). This study employed a qualitative approach using a literature review. The primary source of this study was QS. Al-Hujurat:13, which was analyzed using content analysis with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings reveal that QS. Al-Hujurat: 13 provides key foundational principles—human equality, diversity as sunnatullah, mutual recognition (ta'aruf), piety as a moral standard, and anti-discrimination—which can be integrated into a CTL syntax to transform the PAI curriculum into a more contextual, holistic, and inclusive learning model with practical applications for teachers through systematic lesson planning and authentic assessment. This study offers a novel contribution by systematically operationalizing Qur'anic multicultural principles into actionable CTL learning syntax, bridging the gap between theoretical Islamic values and practical classroom instruction.
