Arabic language instruction in Indonesia continues to face challenges, including uneven proficiency achievement, the dominance of grammatical-procedural approaches, and evaluation practices that emphasize written cognitive outcomes rather than performative competence across the four language skills (istimā‘, kalām, qirā’ah, and kitābah). These challenges become increasingly complex in heterogeneous classrooms that require adaptive and equitable curriculum frameworks. This article aims to (1) analyze the conceptual foundations of an inclusive Arabic language curriculum; (2) examine the integration of UDL principles into Arabic curriculum components; and (3) identify implementation challenges and recommendations. This study employs qualitative library research by analyzing primary and secondary documents related to Arabic language curriculum development, inclusive education, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Data were analyzed through content analysis involving coding procedures and thematic synthesis to identify relevant curriculum design patterns. The findings reveal four essential components for developing an inclusive Arabic language curriculum: differentiated learning objectives, contextualized and tiered learning materials, multimodal instructional strategies, and adaptive-performative assessment systems. These components provide flexible learning pathways that accommodate diverse learner characteristics and support more equitable development of the four maharah. The study concludes that the integration of UDL offers a systematic framework for translating inclusive education principles into practical Arabic curriculum design by promoting accessibility, participation, and language competence development. Further empirical research is recommended to examine the effectiveness of UDL-based curriculum implementation and to develop validated performative assessment instruments suitable for diverse educational contexts.
