This study aims to analyze the concept of multicultural Islamic education as developed by contemporary Islamic educational thinkers. Using content analysis, this study examines the works of figures such as Abdul Munir Mulkhan, Azyumardi Azra, Abdurrahman Wahid, and Fethullah Gülen, who have made significant contributions to the development of an Islamic educational paradigm that values diversity. The analysis was conducted using documentary data collection and content analysis techniques to identify the core principles of multicultural education from an Islamic perspective. The results show that multicultural Islamic education emphasizes the values of tolerance (tasamuh), moderation (wasathiyah), justice (al-'adl), inclusivity, and constructive intercultural dialogue. The ideas of these thinkers emphasize that Islamic education functions not only as a process of transmitting knowledge but also as an instrument for character formation for students, enabling them to live harmoniously in a pluralistic society. The study's conclusions confirm that multicultural Islamic education is a relevant educational paradigm in facing global challenges, particularly in strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia.
