This study examines the role of multicultural-informed Islamic education in addressing the challenges of majority authoritarianism within plural societies, particularly in the Indonesian context. Majority authoritarianism refers to the tendency of dominant religious interpretations to shape educational narratives and institutional practices in ways that marginalize alternative perspectives and limit recognition of diversity. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this research analyzes scholarly works, policy documents, and theoretical discussions related to Islamic education, multiculturalism, and democratic values. The analysis focuses on three main themes: the manifestation of majority authoritarianism in Islamic education, the conceptual foundations of multicultural-based Islamic education, and the development of multicultural education policies in Indonesia. The findings indicate that multicultural-informed Islamic education provides a critical pedagogical framework capable of challenging exclusivist religious narratives and promoting inclusive learning environments. By integrating principles of justice, dialogue, and respect for diversity, Islamic education can function as a transformative space that cultivates democratic awareness and social responsibility. The study also highlights that although Indonesia has adopted policies promoting religious moderation and multicultural education, significant challenges remain in translating these policies into classroom practices. This article contributes theoretically by introducing majority authoritarianism as an analytical lens in Islamic education studies and practically by emphasizing the importance of strengthening multicultural-based pedagogical approaches to enhance democratic resilience in plural societies.

Conclusion

The study concludes that majority authoritarianism poses a significant challenge to Islamic education in plural societies like Indonesia.Multicultural-informed Islamic education offers a crucial framework for addressing this challenge by integrating values of justice, equality, and dialogue into the learning process.Ultimately, strengthening multicultural Islamic education is essential for fostering democratic resilience and inclusive societies.

Future Research

Based on the findings, future research should explore how Islamic educational institutions can actively promote critical thinking and challenge dominant religious narratives through curriculum reform and pedagogical innovation. Furthermore, studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness of teacher training programs in equipping educators with the skills to facilitate inclusive and dialogical learning environments. Finally, research should examine the role of community engagement and interfaith dialogue in fostering social cohesion and strengthening democratic values within the broader context of Islamic education in Indonesia. These investigations should consider the existing policies and practices, and aim to provide practical recommendations for enhancing the transformative potential of Islamic education in promoting a more just and equitable society, contributing to a deeper understanding of how to navigate the complexities of religious diversity and democratic principles within the Indonesian context.
