Keselamatan Non-Muslim Pedalaman dan Orang Eropa: Studi Konsep Ahl Al-Fatrah dan Aplikasinya di Era Modern

Abstract

This article discusses the theory of ahl al-fatrah and its relevance to be applied in the current era. This article compares the theories of experts regarding ahl al-fatrah and the legal consequences of ahl al-fatrah after death. There are two questions that will be answered in this article, namely the status of the interior people or European people who do not know Islam properly, will they be tortured in Hell? What are the limits and conditions for people to be judged as ahl al-fatrah and safe from Hell? This article finds that some expert opinions point to the relevance of today's ahl al-fatrah status to people living in remote areas or in Europe who are far from correct Islamic information. However, another opinion states that a person who can think well, but does not believe in religion, is considered an infidel even though he has never heard of Islam.
