Managing Cultural Diversity in the Light of the Holy Qur’an: A Study of the Verses on Difference and Plurality

Abstract

This research addresses the issue of managing cultural diversity in the light of the Holy Qur’an through an analytical study of the verses related to difference and plurality, which are presented as divine laws governing human existence. The study aims to clarify the Qur’anic vision of diversity and to analyze the ethical and value-based foundations that regulate the relationship between individuals despite religious, cultural, and linguistic differences. The research adopts an analytical and thematic approach to Qur’anic interpretation, in addition to a comparative method linking the Qur’anic perspective with contemporary models of diversity management. The findings indicate that the Qur’an offers a balanced and comprehensive framework for managing cultural diversity, based on mutual recognition, justice, and human dignity, thereby promoting peaceful coexistence in pluralistic societies.
