Although connections worldwide are increasing, cultural diversity among people has become challenging. Islam sees cultural disparity as natural; <em>al-’adl </em>(non-bias), the central concept of Islamic ethics not only promotes cultural appreciation but makes it compulsory for just leadership. This research explores the association between <em>al-’adl </em>and cultural appreciation in Islamic religious texts and its implication in history. The objective of this research is to highlight the obligatory stance of Islam on cultural diversity appreciation in a multicultural context. The researchers recommend that Islamic religious leaders and religious institutions promote cultural appreciation as a fundamental obligation to ensure justice (<em>al-’adl</em>) in a society.</p> ER -
