This article examines the concept of establishing relations between Dar Al-Isla and Dar Al-Kufr in Islamic jurisprudence. From the point of view of Islam, the world is divided into two territories; Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-Kufr. Dar Al-Islam is a territory where political power is under control of Muslims and it has Islamic laws. On the other hand, Dar Al-Kufr is a territory where political power is under control of non-Muslims and it has non-Islamic laws. This study uses the library and comparative method to examine the historical division of the world into Islamic and non-Islamic territories, which are characterized by the terms Dar Al-Islam and Dar Al-kufr, respectively. It addresses the problematic nature of these classifications, particularly the legitimacy of infidelity in contrast to Islamic law. In this research, two common theories among Islamic scholars regarding foreign relations have been identified: the theory of the principle of war and the theory of the principle of peace. The findings show that the fundamental approach of Islam towards non-Islamic countries is to invite them to accept Islam, and in case of rejecting the invitation, it is a request to pay Jizya, and if the payment of Jizyah is refuse, Jihad is permissible. Finally, this study concludes that the first step of Islam in its foreign relations has been an invitation to the holy religion of Islam, and if they do not accept the invitation, they will be obliged to pay the jizyah, and if they refuse to pay the jizyah, there is no other way but to fight against them; it means, there is Jihad against them.
