This paper aims to understand Nurcholish Madjid’s thoughts deeply on kalimatun sawa’ as the
foundation of religious tolerance. The study employs Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic approach with a qualitative
research method, focusing on textual analysis of Madjid’s works. The main issues examined include the
interpretation theory in Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics, Nurcholish Madjid’s perspective on kalimatun
sawa’, and the application of Ricoeur’s hermeneutic theory in understanding kalimatun sawa’. The
findings indicate that kalimatun sawa’ serves as a universal ethical foundation for interfaith dialogue,
emphasizing shared human values fostering religious tolerance in Indonesia. This study contributes to the
academic discourse by offering a novel application of Ricoeur’s hermeneutic approach in Islamic studies,
providing a deeper interpretative framework for understanding religious pluralism.
