This study aims to analyze the conceptual relationship between Qur’anic values and Dayak local wisdom in fostering tolerance and harmony within the plural society of Pager. It employs a library research method using a qualitative descriptive-interpretative approach. Data were drawn from previous books, Qur’anic exegesis, and relevant scholarly journal articles addressing religious tolerance, social harmony, and Dayak culture. The data were analyzed through thematic categorization, cross-source comparison, and interpretative synthesis. The findings indicate that Qur’anic values, particularly the recognition of diversity, justice, and respect for freedom of belief, have conceptual connections with Dayak local wisdom, especially the Huma Betang philosophy and the Kula Pahari concept, which emphasize togetherness, kinship, and social solidarity. These two sources of values provide a conceptual framework for understanding tolerance and harmony without erasing religious or cultural identities. In the context of Pager, the understanding of social harmony is based on available written documentation rather than direct field observations. This study contributes to scholarship on the relationship between Islam and local culture by offering a literature-based perspective on religious tolerance and social harmony in plural communities.
