<![CDATA[Widespread moral degradation today has sparked serious concerns, particularly as educational institutions meant to shape character often produce individuals involved in crimes ranging from theft to large-scale corruption, even among the highly educated. This phenomenon raises key questions about the failure of educational institutions to cultivate moral intellectuals and challenges the very definition of akhlak (morality/ethics) when criminal cases involve high-achieving teenagers. Therefore, this background to the problem highlights an urgent need for a clear and comprehensive standard in understanding akhlak, from its components to its ultimate goals. This research positions itself to deeply examine the integration between aqidah (creed/faith) and akhlak. This question is addressed using a descriptive analytical approach to the thought of Al-Ghazali. The primary findings indicate that Al-Ghazali explicitly integrated aqidah and akhlak, especially within his concept of akhlak. This is evident from every element and underlying principle of his akhlak concept, which consistently rooted in an awareness of aqidah.]]>
