The steps on how to use social ethics in managing ethnic diversity based on the selected Qur’ānic verses dealing with the divine injunction al-’Amr bi al-Maʿrūf wa al-Nahy ʿan al-Munkar, are examined. The findings of this paper are expected to offer new ways and understandings for ethnic diversity management and the prevention of conflicts among members of multiethnic societies.
