Efforts of developing the country that have been implemented for a long time have yielded results for Malaysia. However, the issue of the imbalance of the country’s development has put a great pressure on the Malaysian society. Imbalance that occurs in the country’s development is an imbalance between the physical and spiritual development. This article thus focuses its attention on the current challenges faced by the Malaysian society particularly the Muslims, namely on the urgent need for strengthening of aqidah, solidifying noble character and consolidating knowledge among the Malaysian people. To achieve this objective, this article evaluates the function of aqidah, noble character and knowledge in balancing the country’s development today. For this reason, this article contains several parts that comprise the background of the country’s development, analysis of the elements of aqidah, noble character and knowledge in human development, and a summary. The discussion concludes that the current situation that emerges in tandem with the development of the country indicates that aqidah, noble character and knowledge are the main elements that need to be mastered fully by Malaysians, and it is also these elements that are the basis for a balanced development of the country.
