Pribadi Akhlakul Karimah

Morals according to the Indonesian language are manners or behavior.[1] Morals are traits or characteristics that already exist in humans that can be influenced by the surrounding environment. Linguistically, morals can be good or bad, depending on the values ​​that are used as the basis or benchmark. In Indonesia, the word morals always has a positive connotation. People who are good are often called people who have morals, while people who do not behave well are called people who have no morals.

Morals have a scope that must be known by humans, namely, morals to Allah SWT; morals to fellow human beings and; morals to beings other than humans. Every character that is addressed has a different way of reacting to it.

b. Comparison between morals in Islam with norms, customs, and ethical philosophy. Norms are rules that bind a person or society in behaving. Norms usually come from habits that have been repeated and made into a set of behaviors that apply to anyone.

Customs are rules (actions and so on) that are commonly followed or carried out since time immemorial.[2] Customs of a place with another place will be different because the rules that have been done long ago are different. Ethics is the science of moral principles.[3] Philosophy is knowledge and investigation with reason regarding the nature of all that exists, its causes, origins, and laws.[4] Ethical philosophy is the science of moral principles which are known and investigated by reason according to existing facts.

Comparison of morals with norms, customs, and ethical philosophies, namely morals regulated in the Koran and hadith; norms are regulated in writing or orally according to custom; customs are regulated in accordance with the behavior and deeds that have been done since ancient times and; Philosophy of ethics is regulated according to knowledge that is known to reason and facts that already exist.

c. Morals to Allah SWT Morals or behavior towards Allah SWT is the most important thing done by humans. If humans have bad morals towards Allah SWT, then it will have an impact on morals towards fellow humans and other creatures.

Allah SWT has said in Surat al-Baqarah verse 177 which reads:

"It is not a virtue to turn your face towards the east and west, but actually the virtue is believing in Allah, the Last Day, angels, books, prophets and giving the wealth they love to their relatives, orphans, the poor, travelers (who need help) and people begging; and (liberate) slaves, establish prayers, and pay zakat; and those who keep their promises when they promise, and those who are patient in adversity, suffering and in war. They are the true (faith); and they are the pious ones.” (Surah Al-Baqarah [2]: 177)

The verse explains that we must do good or commendable morals even though facing east and west. However, the true virtue of faith is having faith in Allah and believing in the six pillars of faith. The verse also explains about humans who must have morals towards fellow humans. we can clearly understand that what is called virtue (al birr) also includes true faith in Allah, carrying out His commands (and of course leaving His prohibitions), and doing good to fellow creatures of Allah.

There are many behaviors that can be carried out in respecting Allah SWT, including the following:

i) Believing in the oneness of Allah SWT
ii) Believing in all the power, perfection, and omnipotence of Allah SWT
iii) Obey the commands of Allah SWT BR>iv) Stay away from all the prohibitions of Allah SWT
