A. Preliminary Aspects of faith that will be studied in this paper is to aspects of psychiatric and value. This aspect has not received attention, such as attention to other aspects. Love of God, sincere charity only because God, as well as devoting diridan fully trust in Him, is the primacy of values ​​to consider and refine diutamakandalam branches of faith. Indeed amalah outward form of worship and muamalah mahdhah will not reach perfection, but if based on and mixed with the value of these virtues. Because these values ​​are always flowing in the hearts and written in every movement and behavior of everyday life. Modern education has affected students from different directions and its influence has been such that permeate the soul of future generations. If not good at fostering the soul of future generations, "with instilling the values ​​of faith in reason, thought and reason them", then they will not survive the negative influence of modern education. Perhaps they feel something is missing in the spiritual side and try to improve from other sources. When this happens, it is necessary to immediately take action, to open the doors of spirituality that is not filled by other teachings which are not derived from the teachings of Islamic spirituality. A Muslim who plenary is a reason and his heart was shining, the views and her sharp intellect, reason, thought and conscience combined in interacting with God and with fellow human beings, so it is difficult to guess which one is first played soul honesty or truth minds. The nature of this perfection is the character of Islam, that religion is built upon the basic creed of purity and clarity of mind to form a theological mindset that resemble fields of exact sciences, because in terms of belief, Islam only accepts things that according to common sense measure may be accepted as a doctrine Aqeedah is correct and straight. Pillars of reason and rationality in Islamic theology is reflected in the rules Muamalat and in providing solutions and therapies for problems faced. In addition, Islam is a religion of worship. The doctrine of worship is based on the sanctity of heart that is filled with sincerity, love, and cleaned of encouragement lust, selfishness, and want to win their own attitudes. Religion is not a perfect person, if the warmth of spirituality that has not accompanied with scientific experience and acumen of reason. The importance of reason to faith is like the importance of eyes for the people that are running. B. Belief in Islamic Philosophy Who is God? Word of god, which is translated "God", in Al-Quran is used to express a variety of objects that people brought up or overlooked, for example, in Sura 45 (Al-Jatsiiyah): 23, namely: "So have you ever seen people who make desires as his Lord ....?" In Surah 28 (Al-Qashash): 38, words used by Pharaoh to the god himself: "And Pharaoh said: O my people enlarger, I do not know god for you besides me." Examples of these verses above show that the word of god can mean various things, both abstract (lust or desire of personal and real objects (Pharaoh or ruler who obeyed and revered). The word god in the Qur'an is also used in the singular (simplex: ilaahun), doubles (mutsanna: ilaahaini), and many (jama ': aalihatun). ungodliness zero or atheism is not possible. To be able to understand the definition of God or Ilah appropriate, based on the logic of the Qur'an as follows: God (god) is something that is overlooked (deemed necessary) by humans in such a way that people let themselves controlled by him. These words should be interpreted widely overlooked. Included in it are revered, loved, glorified, to expect to provide benefit or joy, and including also something that is feared will bring danger or loss. Ibn Taymiyyah provides a definition of al-god as follows: Al-god is this: who worshiped with hearts full of love, submit to Him, humble ourselves before him, fear, and hope for it, her place berpasrah when in trouble, pray, and trust him for the benefit of themselves, ask for protection from him, and create peace in the time to remember and adrift in love with him (M. Imaduddin, 1989:56) On the basis of this definition, God can be anything, a human emphasis. To be sure, humans can not be atheist, it is impossible not godless. Based on the logic of the Qur'an, every human being there must be something dipertuhankannya. That way, people communists essentially godless, too. The Lord is their ideology or wishful thinking (utopia) them. In the teachings of Islam are taught the phrase "la ilaaha illa Allah." The composition of the sentence begins with a negation, namely "no God", then followed by the affirmation "but God." That means that a Muslim must cleanse ourselves from all kinds of God first, so that there is in his heart there is only one God, even God. History of Human Thought of God
Western Thought
The meaning of the concept of the Deity according to human thinking is a concept based on the ideas of both outward and inward through experience, both rational and spiritual experiences of research. In the history of religious literature, known as the theory of evolutionism, the theory that states the existence of the trust process is very simple, gradually increasing to perfect. The theory was first put forward by Max Muller, then raised by EB Taylor, Robertson Smith, Lubbock and Javens. The process of development of thinking about God according to the theory of evolutionism are as follows:
Dynamism
According to this understanding, since the days of primitive man has admitted the existence of an influential force in life. At first, something that was intended effect on the body. Each object has an influence on humans, there is a positive effect and there is also a negative effect. Forces that exist on the object referred to by different names, such as where (Melanesia), dagger (Malay), and syakti (India). Where is the magic power which can not be seen or diindera with sensuous. It was therefore considered as something mysterious. Although the name can not be diindera, but he can feel his influence.
Animism
Primitive society also believes in the role of spirit in his life. Any object that is considered a good thing, have the spirit. By a primitive society, the spirit is believed to be something that is active even if the object has been dead. Therefore, the spirit is considered as something that is always live, have a sense of fun, taste is not happy when his needs are met. According to this belief, so that people are not exposed to the negative effects of the spirits, the man must provide for the spirit. Serving-dish as suggested by the shaman is one effort to meet the needs of the spirit.
Polytheism
Dynamism and animism belief for long does not give satisfaction, because too many are getting praise and worship. Spirit is more than the others then called a god. God has certain duties and powers in accordance with the field. There is a god in charge of the light, there yangmembidangi water problem, there is a charge of wind and so forth.
Henotheism
Polytheism does not give satisfaction, especially against intellectuals. Therefore, from the gods held a recognized selection, because it is impossible to have the same power. Gradually the human confidence increased to more definitive (specific). One nation recognizes only one god, called by God, but humans still acknowledge God (Ilah) other nations. Belief one God to one nation called henotheism (God National Level).
Monotheism
Trust in the form henotheism stepped into monotheism. In monotheism recognizes only one God for all nations and international character. Form of monotheism in terms of philosophy understood the Godhead is divided into three, namely: deism, pantheism, and theism. Evolutionism in belief in God as stated by Max Muller and EB. Taylor (1877), opposed by Andrew Lang (1898) that emphasizes the existence of monotheism in the primitive society. He suggested that people who are also the same low cultured monoteismenya with Christians. They have confidence in the form of the Great and unique qualities of their Lord, they do not give to other beings. With the birth of Andrew Lang's opinion, the group gradually subsides and vice versa evolutionism became scholars of religion, especially in Western Europe began to challenge and introduced a new theory of evolutionism to understand the history of religion. They stated that the idea of ​​God does not come by evolution, but with relevance or revelation. Conclusions are drawn based on the investigation of a variety of beliefs held by many primitive societies. The investigation found evidence that the origins of primitive society is monotheistic belief and monotheism is derived from the teachings of God's revelation (Zaglul Joseph, 1993:26-27). 2. Muslim Thought The thought of God that gave birth to Tawheed Science, Kalam Science, or Science Ushuluddin among Muslims, arising from the death of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Broadly speaking, there is a stream that is liberal, traditional, and still others are in between. Because the emergence of flow is due to methodological differences in understanding the Quran and Hadith with a contextual approach, so born who are the traditional flow. Being part of other Muslims who understand the contextual approach to tektual so was born the flow that is between the traditional liberal. Third mode of thinking has colored the history of thought in Islamic theology. The flow is as follows: a. Mu'tazilite who were the rationalists among Muslims, and emphasized the use of a mind to understand all the teachings and faith in Islam. Person Islam is a big sin, not infidels and believers. He was among the position of believers and unbelievers (moon bainal manzilatain). In analyzing the divinity, they use the help science Greek logic, one theological system to defend the position of faith. Results from a patterned Mu'tazilite rational understanding emerged century is the advance of science in Islam. But scientific progress ultimately declined to defeat them in disputes with the orthodox Islam. Mu'tazilite born as a fraction of the group Qadariah, was Qadariah is a fraction of the Khawarij. b. Qodariah who believes that human beings have freedom in willing and doing. Humans alone are wanted if he would infidel or believer and that which causes people to be responsible for his actions. c. Jabariah which is a fraction of Murji'ah theorized that human beings have no freedom in willing and doing. All human behavior is determined and forced by the Lord. d. Ash'arite and Maturidiyah whose opinions are in between Qadariah and Jabariah All that color the life of the flow of divine thoughts among Muslims in the past period. In principle streams mentioned above do not conflict with the basic teachings of Islam. Hence Muslims who choose any flow between these streams as a theology which dianutnya, not cause it came out of Islam. Facing the situation and the development of science today, Muslims need to make corrections based on the science of al-Quran and Sunnah, without being influenced by certain political interests. Among those which seem to flow more to support the development of science and improve the work ethic is a flow Mu'tazilite and Qadariah. God According to Revelation Religions Assessment of human ideas of God, which is only based on observation and experience and human thought, will never be true. Because God is something supernatural, so that information about God that only comes from people even if expressed as a result of reflection and rational thought, will not be true. Information regarding the origin of belief in God, among others listed in:
Surah 21 (Al-Anbiya): 92, "Verily, Allah revealed religion is one, namely religion of Tawheed. Therefore man should adhere to one religion, but they have been broken to pieces. They will return to God and God will judge them.
The verse in question gives clues to human beings that actually there is no difference in the concept of the divine teachings from ancient times until now. Through His apostles, God introduces himself through his teachings, which brought the Apostles, Adam as the first apostle and Muhammad as the last. If there differences between the teachings of divine religions is due to human actions. Doctrine is not the same as the original concept of teaching, manipulation and deceit is very big man. 2. Surah 5 (Al-Maidah): 72, "the Messiah said: O Children of Israel worship God Tuhaku and your Lord. Those who ascribe (something to) Allah, then surely heaven forbid him, and their place is hell. 3. Surah 112 (Al-Ikhlas): 1-4, "Say, He is Allah, the Almighty. God is the God who depend on Him all things. He was not begotten son, and no well and no one is equal to Him. " From the expression of these verses, it is clear that God is God. The word of God is jumid isim name or personal name. It is an erroneous opinion, if the name of God is translated with the word "God", because it is considered as isim musytaq. Lord of truth in the concept of al-Quran is God. This is stated among others in the letter of Ali Imran verse 62, 35 and 65 Shad letter, letter of Muhammad verse 19. In al-quran told also that the doctrine of God which is given to the Prophet before Muhammad is the Lord God as well. Consider a letter Hud verse 84 and the letter of al-Maidah verse 72. Lord God is one God as stated in the letter al-Ankabut paragraph 46, Taha verse 98, and Shad paragraph 4. By suggesting the reasons mentioned above, then according to the information al-Quran, the correct designation for the Lord God who really is the name "Allah", and kemahaesaan God is not through evolution but through the revelation that comes from God. This means that the concept of monotheism has existed since the arrival of Prophet Adam on earth. Esa according to al-Quran is one which in truth is one, which does not come from a part-bagiandan nor can be divided into sections. Oneness of God is absolute. He can not accompanied by or equated with another. As Muslims, who pledged sentence ilaaha creed La Allah illa Allah must place top priority in every action and words. Conception La ilaaha illa Allah sentence that comes from al-quran hinted that humans have a tendency to look for any other God but Allah, and it will appear in the attitude and practice of life. Being God's Proof 1. Scientific Proof Method The challenge of modern times against religion lies in the problem method of proof. This method is familiar with the nature through experiments and observations, were related to the nature of religious belief in the outer senses, which is impossible by experiment (religion is based on analogy and induction). This is what causes this method according to religious void, because religion has no scientific basis. Actually most of modern science is also void, because it also has no scientific basis. The new method does not deny the form of something, although not yet tested empirically. In addition, this method also does not reject the analogy between something that is not seen with something that has been observed empirically. This is called the "scientific analogy" and treated the same as the empirical test. An experiment is seen as a scientific fact, not only because the experiments can be observed directly. Similarly, an analogy can not be considered wrong, just because he's an analogy. The possibility of right and wrong of them are on the same level. Experimentation and scientific method of observation is not definitive, because science is not limited to issues that can be observed only in empirical research. The theory is deduced from observations of things that do not have a way to observe. People who study modern science believes that the majority view of modern knowledge, only an interpretation of the observations and views have not been tested empirically. Therefore, many scholars believe her nature that can not be diindera directly. Any scholar could not go any further without holding on to words like: "Style" (force), "Energy", "nature" (nature), and "natural law". Yet it is not even a scholar who knew what it was: "The style, energy, nature and natural law." Scholars are not able to provide an explanation for these words are perfect, even as theologians who are unable to provide explanations about the nature of God. Both believe in accordance with the field on the causes that are unknown. Thus does not mean that religion is "faith in the supernatural" and science is believing in the "scientific observation". Because, both religion and science are both based on faith in the supernatural. It's just that the actual scope of religion is the scope of "determining the nature of" recent and original, while the scope of science is limited to discussion of the characteristics of the outside only. If the science of determining the nature of pengtahuan entering the field, which is actually the field of religion, it means that science has on the path of faith in the supernatural. Therefore must be adopted in other fields. Scholars still think that the hypothesis that interpreting the observations not less than the nature of the observed value. They can not say: The fact observed is the only "science" and all the things that are beyond reality rather than science, because it can not be observed. Actually the so-called faith in the supernatural by the believers, is a faith in nature that can not be observed. This does not mean a blind faith, but it is the best interpretation of reality that can not be observed by scholars. 2. The existence of God Proves Existence of Nature The presence of natural and stunning and secret organization that complicated, there can be no explanation that there is something forces that created it, a "Reason" that has no end. Every normal human being believe that he was "there" and believe also that the nature of this "there". With that basis and with this belief endured every form of scientific activities and life. If you believe about the nature of existence, then logically have to believe about the Creator of Nature. The statement which says: <> is an incorrect statement. Have never known of anything that comes from not exist without created. Everything in size however, there must be a cause. Therefore, how would believe that the universe is so vast, there by itself without a creator? 3. Proof The existence of God with Physics Approach Until the 19th century notion that nature created itself (nature is eternal) is still a lot of followers. But after the discovery "the second law of thermodynamics" (Second law of thermodynamics), this statement has been losing the foundation footing. The law, known as the law of energy limitations or restrictions on the theory of heat energy change of nature does not prove that there may be eternal. The law specifies that heat energy always moves from hot state is turned into heat. Being the reverse is not possible, ie, heat energy can not be changed from a state that is not hot to hot. Changes in thermal energy is controlled by a balance between "existing energy" with "energy that does not exist". Based on the fact that the work process chemistry and physics in nature continues, and life is still running. It was proved with certainty that nature is not eternal. If nature is eternal, it had always been nature has lost its energy, in accordance with the law and there will be no life in nature. Therefore there must be something that God created nature. 4. Proof The existence of God with the approach of Astronomy Natural objects closest to Earth is the moon, a distance of some 240,000 miles from Earth, moving around the earth and settle any edarannya for twenty-nine days. Similarly, the earth which lies 93 billion miles from the sun rotates on its axis with the speed of a thousand miles per hour and travel along an orbit every 190 million miles annually. In addition to the earth there are nine planets of the solar system clusters, including the earth, which surrounds the sun with incredible speed. The sun did not stop at a certain place, but he circulated together with the planets and asteroids orbit around the speed of 600,000 miles per hour. In addition there are thousands of systems in addition to "solar system" and every system we have a collection or its own galaxy. Galaxy-galaxy is also circulating in an orbit. Galaxy where our solar system lies, and resolve outstanding on its axis once every 200,000,000 years edarannya light. The logic of human beings with due observance of the extraordinary and meticulous organization, will conclude that it is impossible to happen by itself, even be concluded that behind all that there is tremendous power and control systems that make outstanding, tremendous power is God. Method of proving the existence of God through the understanding and appreciation of the natural harmony by Ibn Rushd given the term "proposition ikhtira". In addition, Ibn Rushd also use other methods of "aid the argument." Theorem 'aid is a method of proving the existence of God through the understanding and appreciation of nature for human benefit (Zakiah Daradjat, 1996:78-80). Understanding Faith Most people claim that the word faith comes from the verb-amine yu'manu security which means trust. Therefore, faith means trust appoint mental attitude which is located in the heart. As a result, people who believe in Allah and in others as shown on the pillars of faith, although in his behavior does not reflect the adherence and compliance (taqwa) to those who have believed, still called the believers. That's because of their belief that one knows about the affairs of the human heart is to God and to read two sentences have become the Islamic creed. In sura al-Baqarah verse 165 says that the believers are men who really, really love to God (asyaddu hubban lillah). Therefore, faith in God means very, very long against the teachings of God, namely Al-Quran by Sunnah. This is because what God wills, a will of the believers, so that it can lead to a determination to sacrifice everything and risked their lives if necessary. In a hadeeth narrated by Ibn Majah Atthabrani, faith is defined by belief in the liver, is professed by the tongue, and realized with the charitable deeds (Al-Immaanu 'aqdun bil bil qalbi waigraarun billisaani wa'amalun arkaan). Thus, faith is the unity or harmony between the heart, speech, and behavioral actions, and can also be regarded as the views and attitudes of life or lifestyle. The term faith in the Qur'an is always coupled with another word that provides style and color of something believed, as in the letter an-Nisa ': 51 that is associated with jibti (psychotherapy / idealism) and Evil (reality / naturalism). Meanwhile, in a letter to al-Ankabut: 52 associated with false words, namely walladziina aamanuu baathili bil. Bhatil is not true according to God. In another letter of faith coupled with the word kaafir or with the word of God. Meanwhile in al-Baqarah: 4, coupled with the word faith teachings that God sent down (yu'minuuna bimaa unzila ilaika wamaa unzila qablika min.) The word of faith that is not coupled with other words in the Koran, contains a positive sense. Thus, word of faith which is not associated with the word of God or the teachings, said to be faith haq. While that is associated with any other kind, called a false faith. Being Faith Islamic theology in the Koran is called faith. Faith means not only believing, but belief that encouraging a Muslim to do. Therefore, faith is very broad field, and even includes everything that is a Muslim who called good deeds. A person of faith not only believes in something, but trust that prompted him to say and do things according to the conviction. Because of that faith not just believed or said, but completely united in the one who proved in his actions. Islamic theology is the most fundamental in Islam. It is the belief that the substance of things or acts of charity. A person is deemed to be Muslims or non Muslims depends on akidahnya. If he berakidah Islam, then everything he does will be worth as Amaliah a Muslim or good deeds. If not beraqidah, then all the charity does not mean anything, in spite of acts committed in the value of human hearing. Islamic theology or faith tying a muslim, so he is bound by all the rules of law that comes from Islam. Therefore, being a Muslim means to believe and carry out everything that is stipulated in the teachings of Islam. His whole life is based on Islamic teachings. The process of formation of Faith Spermatozoa and ova are produced and brought together on the basis of the provisions outlined God's teachings, is a good seed. God desires that the food you eat comes from halalanthayyiban sustenance. The views and attitudes of a mother who was pregnant affect psychic they contain. Mother that contains no escape from the influence of her husband, then indirectly the views and attitudes are also influenced by psychological husband to babies who are conceived. Therefore, if someone wants her son would become a Muttaqin believer, then the wife should view and act in accordance with the will of God. The seed of faith that brought in the womb requires continuous fertilization. The seeds are excellent, if not accompanied by maintenance-intensive, it is likely to become extinct. Similarly, the seed of faith. Various influences on a person will direct the faith / personality of a person, whether they come from a family environment, community, education, and environment, including inanimate objects such as weather, soil, water, flora and fauna and the environment. Effect of family education directly or indirectly, whether intentional or unintentional very influential on one's faith. The behavior of parents in the household was always an example and role model for children. Behaviour is good and the bad will be imitated their children. Do not expect children to behave well, if their parents are always doing a disgraceful deed. In this regard the Prophet SAW said, "Every child, born to bring nature. The parents who contribute to make the child into the Jewish, Christian, or Zoroastrian. " Basically, the process of faith formation, too. Beginning with the introduction, then increased to love or hate. Knowledge of God is the first step in achieving faith in God. If someone does not know the teachings of God, then that person may not believe in God. Someone who wants him to be faithful to God, the doctrine of God must be introduced as early as possible in accordance with the child's ability from the verbal level to the level of understanding. How can a child be a believer, if they are not introduced to the Koran. In addition to the recognition process, the process of habituation is also worth noting, because without habituation, someone could have changed the original hate to be happy. A child must be accustomed to doing what God commanded and abstaining from His forbidden things, for someday when you grow up to be happy and skilled in carrying out the teachings of God. Doing something physical is a form of behavior that is easily seen and measured. But behavior does not consist of acts that seem just. In it included also the mental attitudes that are not always easy unless physically addressed directly (eg, through words or deeds which are supposed to describe those mental attitudes), even indirectly it is sometimes quite difficult to draw precise conclusions. In this paper used the term behavior in a broad sense and is associated with the values ​​of life, namely a set of values ​​accepted by humans as an important value in life: faith. The destination is a behavior that embodies certain values ​​of life, the so-called patterned behavior. In certain circumstances, the nature, direction, and intensity of behavior can be influenced through direct intervention, ie intervention in the form of interactions that occur. In this case described the implication put forward several principles with the methodology, namely: 1. The principle of sustainable development The process of faith formation is a process that is important, continuous, and not interminable. Learning is a process that allows people are increasingly able to be selective. The implication is needed motivation from childhood and lasts a lifetime. It is therefore important to direct the process of motivation to make behavior more focused and selective face values ​​of life that should be accepted or should be rejected. 2. The principle of internalization and individuation A value of life among others can be more assured faith incarnate in the form of a specific behavior, if students are given the opportunity to live it through an internalization event (ie, businesses receive value as part of the mental attitude) and individuation (ie, placing the value of harmony with the nature of his personality). Through the experience of personal appreciation, he moves toward an incarnation and embodiment of values ​​in human beings in a more fair and "Amaliah", than when the value was directly introduced in the form of "intact", ie when the value is embedded directly to the students as an end product only -eye. This principle emphasizes the importance of studying the faith as a process (internalization and individuation). Implications of the methodology is that the approach to shape behavior that embody the values ​​of faith can not just put those values ​​in the form of so, but also must be concerned with the process and how the introduction of the value of life. From the point of students, it is that should the students get the best possible opportunity to experience the process as the events of personal experience, that through those experiences happen crystallization of faith. 3. The principle of socialization In general, the values ​​of life Bru really means when it obtained a social dimension. Therefore, some form of new behavior pattern has been tested thoroughly when socially acceptable. Implications of the methodology is that the business establishment's behavior to realize the value of faith should not be measured only limited success at the individual level (ie only with respect to the ability of a person in his capacity as individuals), but need to put the assessment in relation to the life of social interaction (the process of socialization) person. At the final level must occur socialization process behavior, as the completeness of the process of individuation, because the value of faith embodied in the behavior always has a social dimension. 4. The principle of consistency and coherence The value of faith more easily grow accelerated, if handled consistently from the beginning, that is regularly and consistently, and coherently, ie without containing a conflict between the value of one with another value. Implications of the methodology is that the effort that was developed to accelerate the growth of behavior that embody the values ​​of faith should always be consistent and coherent. The reason, know-how and the consequences can be internalized in the nature and form a clear and patterned and not changeable without direction. Such an approach means that every step of the former will support and strengthen the next steps. If a consistent and coherent approach has a place, it can be expected that the formation of behavior can take place more smoothly and more quickly, because the framework already created a pattern of behavior. 5. Principle of integration The essence of life as a totality, always confronts every person on the problematic life that demands a broad and comprehensive approach. Rarely life phenomenon that stands alone. So it is with every form of value social dimension of life. Therefore, the behavior associated with the value of faith can not be formed separately. The more integral to one's approach to life, the same functional relationship of each form of behavior associated with the faith that I learned. Implications of the methodology is to value one's faith should be studied not as a science and behavioral skills in an isolated, but through an integrative approach, in terms of real life problematic. Signs Faithful The Qur'an explains the signs of the believers as follows:
If the called name of God, his heart fluttered and tried to keep knowledge of God can not be separated from the neural memory, and if recited verses of the Koran, the turbulent heart to immediately implement them (al-Anfal: 2). He will understand the verses that she did not understand. Always trust, which is working hard under the terms of the science of God, accompanied by prayer, which hopes to keep alive the teachings of God according to the Sunnah (Ali Imran: 120, al-Maidah: 12, al-Anfal: 2, at-Tauba: 52, Abraham: 11, Mujadalah: 10, and at-Taghabun: 13). Orderly in performing prayers and always maintaining its implementation (al-Anfal: 3 and al-Mu'minun: 2, 7). However busy, when I entered the prayer time, she immediately prayed to maintain quality of his faith. Spend out provision that the receipt of (al-Anfal: 3 and al-Mukminun: 4). This is done as an awareness that the dinafkahkan property in Allah's way is an effort to economic equality, in order to avoid imbalance between rich and poor. Avoiding words that are not useful and maintain the honor (al-Mukminun: 3.5). Words that are useful or good is God's standards of science, namely the Koran according to the Sunnah of the Prophet. Maintaining the trust and fulfill the promise (al-Mukminun: 6). A Mu'min will not be betrayed, and he will always hold the trust and keep their promises. Jihad in the way of Allah and helpful (al-Anfal: 74). Jihad in Allah's way are serious about upholding the teachings of God, either by property owned or with life. Not to leave the meeting before asking for permission (an-Nur: 62). Such an attitude is one way of life of the believer, one who holds to the doctrine of God according to the Sunnah.
Belief in Islam as a belief in shaping behavior and even affect the life of a Muslim. Abu A'la Maudadi mention the sign of the faithful as follows:
Distance themselves from the narrow and parochial outlook. Having confidence in yourself and knowing self-esteem Having a humble and solemn nature Always honest and fair Not to be morose and hopeless in the face of every problem and situation Having detachment, patience, fortitude, and optimism. Have a knight character, spirit and daring, not afraid of risk, even not afraid of death. Having lived a peaceful and accepting attitude. Obedient, devout, and discipline to run Divine rules.
Correlation Faith and piety Belief in the oneness of God, known by the term Tawheed is divided into two, namely monotheism monotheism theoretical and practical. Tawhid is the theoretical unity of monotheism that discuss substance, the oneness of Nature, and keesaaan Acts of God. Discussion oneness of substance, nature, and acts of God associated with trust, knowledge, perception, and idea or concept of God. Logical consequence of theoretical monotheism is a sincere recognition that God is the only Absolute Being, which is the source of all beings. The practical monotheism which is also called monotheistic worship, associated with human worship. Practical monotheism is applied from the theoretical unity. The phrase La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), greater emphasis on understanding practical monotheism (Tawheed of worship). Tawheed of worship is obedience to God.
