Abstract
Countries with a Muslim majority, like Indonesia, for example, should understand how to treat minority groups, especially those of different religions, so as not to fall into intolerance. The steps can be started from understanding the Islamic paradigm in viewing the concept of minorities. This article reviews Islam's perspective on minorities, and how the majority should treat minorities. The Islamic perspective is different from the Western perspective towards minorities. In Islam, minorities have the same position as the majority. The majority do not have any privileges, so they must treat minorities well and not discriminate. The basic principle of ummah wahidah can be used as a basis for relations between the majority and minorities.

Abstrak
Negara yang mayoritas penduduknya beragama Islam, seperti Indonesia misalnya, hendaknya memahami cara memperlakukan kelompok minoritas, terutama yang berbeda agama, agar tidak terjerumus ke dalam intoleransi. Langkahnya bisa dimulai dari memahami paradigma Islam dalam memandang konsep minoritas. Artikel ini mengulas perspektif Islam terhadap minoritas, dan bagaimana seharusnya kelompok mayoritas memperlakukan minoritas. Perspektif Islam berbeda dengan perspektif Barat terhadap kelompok minoritas. Dalam Islam, minoritas mempunyai kedudukan yang sama dengan mayoritas. Kelompok mayoritas tidak mempunyai keistimewaan sehingga harus memperlakukan kelompok minoritas dengan baik dan tidak melakukan diskriminasi. Prinsip dasar ummah wahidah dapat dijadikan landasan hubungan antara mayoritas dan minoritas.
Kata Kunci: Minoritas, Non-Muslim, Mayoritas, Fikih Islam, Demokrasi
