The data’s technical analysis was qur’anic semantic. The result showed that the basic meaning of d{ala>l is lost. While the relational meaning refers to several meanings: First, the meaning of heretical when accompanied by the words kufr, shirk, muna>fiq, z{a>lim, and fa>siq, accompanied by mubi>n, ba'i>d, and kabi>r, accompanied by the words shait{a>n, and hawa>’. Second, it means confusion when turning up the righteous. Third, it means to forget when talking about the problem of witnessing. D{ala>l has several equivalents of the words gayy, gaflah, zaig, t{ugya>n, and 'amhan, while the opponent is said to be huda>. The development of the meaning d{ala>l is reviewed from the synchronic- diachronic aspect pointing to three periods. The pre-Quranic period refers to conditions of loss, misfortune, and futility. The Qur'anic period carries the meaning d{ala>l pre-qur'anic to religious meaning. The post-Qur'anic period d{ala>l experienced a narrowing of meaning, namely, takfir and bid’ah.
