Multicultural Islamic religious education requires a comprehensive understanding to explain the relationship between Islamic values and the reality of socio-cultural diversity. Previous studies have discussed interdisciplinary approaches in Islamic education, intercultural philosophy, and the development of multicultural values, but the relationship between the philosophical dimension and the interdisciplinary perspective still needs to be synthesized systematically. This study aims to analyze the integration of philosophical and interdisciplinary approaches in understanding multicultural Islamic Religious Education and formulate a relevant conceptual analysis framework. The research uses a qualitative approach with the library research method. Data are obtained from relevant literature, including books, scientific journal articles, and academic publications, then analyzed through content analysis and conceptual synthesis. The results of the study show that philosophical approaches can be integrated with social, cultural, and educational perspectives through three main dimensions, namely ontology, epistemology, and axiology. The ontological dimension explains the nature of multicultural Islamic Religious Education, the epistemological dimension examines the foundations of Islamic knowledge, while the axiological dimension examines the values and goals of education in a pluralistic society. The integration results in a conceptual analysis framework that connects the philosophical foundations of Islamic teachings with multicultural realities. This framework can be a theoretical foundation for understanding Islamic Religious Education in a more systematic, contextual, and value-oriented manner.
