According to Felder and Brent (2006) the more thoroughly teachers understand the differences, the better chance they have of meeting the diverse learning needs of all of their students. Heart of teaching involves integrity, creativity and attitude. These essential matters must be owned by the teachers in order to understand their students in more holistic way and integrating their cultural traditions into lessons and activities. This paper aims to promote some meaningful ideas in teaching multicultural students and point out some possible Islamic approaches that can be implemented as well. Further, this paper is expected to give insight for teachers who are teaching in multicultural students by having bright ideas adopting Islamic method to have a meaningful classroom.
