Abstract

The Qur'anic perspective on human connections in heterogeneous communities is evaluated in this study. It conducts textual analysis as well as historical interpretation of Qur'an verses. The findings illustrate how the Qur'an plays a unique role in improving human interactions in a multicultural society by emphasizing the importance of unity, fostering brotherhood, advocating justice, protecting equality, promoting interfaith dialog and tolerance, and ensuring religious freedom for all religions, cultures, and civilizations. The study concludes by stressing that the Holy Qur'an is a comprehensive guide that promotes peaceful interfaith and multicultural interactions. It can be used as a model for resolving multicultural problems and promoting peace and harmony among people of different faiths and cultures.
