Human values play an important role in shaping a person's character, especially in today's increasingly challenging era. It can be obtained through an understanding of religion which is a major branch in the formation of one's human values. In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, various threats arose among some societies regarding the appreciation of human values because they so glorify science and technology that they challenge the norms of harmonious society. This situation if left unchecked will definitely have a negative impact, especially on ethnic unity in the country. Adherence to human values is an important aspect to strengthen development agents in a country without being swept away by the currents of progress. The good elements that need to be applied in society is to appreciate the high values of humanity as in ethnic relations according to Islam. Thus, the objectives of this study were to identify: (a) The Challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in terms of human values; and (b) The application of inter-ethnic human values according to Islam in maintaining ethnic harmony in Malaysia. This discussion uses a descriptive qualitative method i.e. literature review. The study found: (a) the relationship between religion, culture and ethnicity is not a natural process and is a challenge in the technological development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0; (b) The understanding and practice of ethnic relations according to Islam is able to cultivate society to instill high human values in the self. This discussion is a pioneering view to produce a study of the development of human values in the Industrial Revolution 4.0
