Malaysia is a country that manage to bring together various races and religions under one entity. This pluralism aspect has inevitably led to the interactions that transcend racial and religious boundaries. Therefore, this interconnection requires a strong foundation so that harmonious interaction can be manifested to maintain the harmony and unity of those living in a community that has established for so long. Thus, this study aims to shed light on the basic principles of plural interaction in Malaysia according to the perspective of the Qur'an. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach by highlighting the Qur'anic texts as well as the views of conventional and contemporary Muslim scholars before being analysed via inductive reasoning to formulate the Islamic perspective in driving plural interaction in Malaysia. This initiative is seen as an effort to strengthen and harmonise the social relations of people of various races and religions as well as clear the negative perceptions of the teachings of Islam, which by its nature emphasises the principles of universality ('alamiyyah), comprehensiveness (syumuliyyah), balance (wasatiyyah), and reflective (waqi'iyyah). Ultimately, the principles of plural interaction based on the Qur'an, Hadith, and the views of Muslim scholars by considering the current reality in the Malaysian context today is deemed to have provided a sustainable and holistic foundation as the core of social relations in Malaysia.
