Abstract

Aqidah is the theological foundation of Islam, and among its requirements for a Muslim is understanding and practicing the concept of al-wala' wa'l-baro'. However, this concept is often misunderstood in practice. This research aimed to clarify al-wala' wa'l-baro' as a normal ideology without any radical elements, using a qualitative literature review approach. The results show that 1) al-wala', which signifies loyalty to fellow Muslims, is a normal concept.; 2) Additionally, al-baro' refers to turning away from neglectful elements, but Muslims can still act humanely towards polytheists as long as they are not openly fighting against Islam.; 3) Furthermore, Islamic education plays a vital role in instilling aqidah without any radical elements. The findings of this study also provide a new perspective on Islamic education by reinterpreting the concept of aqidah without any radical elements. This research contributes to the discourse on aqidah, al-wala' wal baro', and Islamic education, providing insights that can help in promoting a balanced understanding of these concepts and countering misinterpretations that may lead to radical ideologies, thereby contributing to the intellectual discourse on contemporary Islamic studies.
