This paper aims to identify the concept of ethnic integration from the perspective of Islamic-based development with reference to the current situation in Malaysia. This ethnic integration has become one of the important aspects of the global and local agenda, especially in Malaysia in conveying the message of peace for all mankind. The identification of the concept of ethnic integration from the perspective of Islamic-based development can be divided into three main components, tasawur, principles, and goals. The perspective of Islamic -based development is seen to place an aspect of comprehensive development that is based on oneness to Allah SWT, based on Islamic philosophy, and sourced from Islamic epistemology. Islamic-based development differs from Western conventional development because Islamic-based development integrates both physical or material aspects and spiritual or spiritual aspects in all development activities. In the context of this paper, the integration of society, especially those of various races and ethnicities is an important agenda in conveying the message of unity and peace for mankind, especially in Malaysia which has a multi-ethnic society. Therefore, this paper tries to describe how Islam emphasizes the value of wasatiyyah and the importance of integration, especially between Muslims and non -Muslims, especially in Malaysia in various aspects of their lives, including in the aspect of development.
