Human being and Religion
What is the religion?
This definition of religion have been selected from the most modest and covering. The point is that the definition is expected not too loose and not too tight, but can be worn against religions has been recognized for this by reference to these names.
Therefore, to
recognize as a religion then took searchable points of similarity and
difference. Humans have the power or ability that there is a limit, recognition
and awareness of the limitations render the conviction that there is something
extraordinary from outside himself.
Something
extraordinary must come from things that are also outstanding, a tremendous
source are diverse, depending on the language of the man himself. For example,
Lord, Lord, God, and others.
It could also
mention its just like the Almighty, De Weldadige, ingkang Murbeng dumadi and
others.
That belief drove
humans to draw close to God to devote himself, namely:
Receive the entire statute or certainty that befell him and his
environment comes from God.
Obedient over all statutes, laws, rules and others are believed to
come from God.
With such a
statement or understanding in it can be clear that religion is a human
servitude to the Lord. In the religious sense, there are three elements, namely
humans, servitude and God. Therefore, an understanding and teaching which is
the third essential element that can be called religion.
The function of religion to life is what?
There are several reasons why religion is very important for human life, including the following:
Because of religion, including the principal or moral basis.
Because of religion, including a hint of truth.
Because of religion, including basic information about the problem
of metaphysics.
Because religion is a guidance human spirit against both joy and
sorrow.
Since man is born
into this world helpless and weak and did not know anything. (Q.S. An-Nahl: 78)
Allah released man
from his mother's womb in a state of not knowing anything. He created for you
seeing, hearing and heart. But not many of them are grateful.
In such
conditions, people are always influenced by a wide variety of seduction and
temptation, seduction that comes from within and from outside the human self.
There are two forms of seduction in humans, namely:
Seduction that leads man into a virtue. This is in accordance with
the terms of Al Ghazali in his Ihya Ulumuddin or called by malak Al Hidayah, ie
energy dragging or pulling people towards a guidance.
Seduction that leads man to the crime, in his book Al-Ghazali
referred to Malak Al Ghiwayah, ie energy trying leads man to a crime. So this
is where the layout of the function of religion in a human life. Kesimpulnya is

about Islam itself Muslims are not only powerful in the field IMTAQ (faith and
piety) but also in the field of science and technology (science and technology)
