Re-interpretation of the term al-islām in al-Qur’an is still very relevant today. Especially if it is associated with increasing extreme religious movement, which emphasizes the angry face of Islam, rather than the” friendly Islam”. At the same time, radical ideology that carries the motto ‘back to the Qur’an and Sunnah,’ often emphasizes the claim of truth and takfīr. Therefore, the authors noticed that one of the ways to erode the radical ideology is the re-interpretation of the meaning of al-islām in al-Qur’an. Many view considers that the interpretation of the term al-Islam is final and raw. Especially if linked with the traditions of the Prophet narrated by ‘Umar bin Khattab. Often interpretations al-Islam has always been associated with all forms of formal worship, and only associated with the teachings brought by Prophet Muhammad. In fact, of the hundreds of verses that speak of al-islam and various derivatives, there is no verse that is associated with formal worship such as prayer, fasting, zakat and hajj. The verses of al-islam always talk about spiritual values, nature, and all of Islam’s various predecessor prophets before Prophet Muhammad. Through this article, the author tries to give a new interpretation on the term al-Islam to create a more inclusive religious, ethical, and dialogic.
