Manusia menurut pandangan Islam adalah makhluk Allah s.w.t. yang memiliki unsur
dan daya materi yang memiliki jiwa dengan ciri-ciri berfikir, berakal, dan
bertanggungjawab pada Allah s.w.t. yang diciptakan dengan memiliki akhlak.
Setiap manusia pasti memiliki karakteryang berbeda–beda entah itu yang baik
ataupun buruk.
2. Lemah
“... sesungguhnya manusia itu amat zalim dan amat bodoh.” (QS. Al-Ahzab:
72). Kezaliman dan kebodohan manusia dalam ayat di atas disebabkan karena
rusak dan kotornya bumi, karena pertumpahan darah dan ulah manusia itu sendiri
yang tidak merawat bumi dan seisinya sesuai dengan ketentuan Allah.
4. Tidak adil.
Berlaku adil adalah tindakan yang terkadang kurang mudah diterapkan dalam
kehidupan sehari-hari. Kaum Madyan yang tidak berlaku adil, akhirnya diazab
oleh Allah, seperti dalam firman-Nya, “Dan Syu'aib berkata, ‘Hai kaumku,
cukupkanlah takaran dan timbangan dengan adil, dan janganlah kamu
merugikan manusia terhadap hak-hak mereka dan janganlah kamu membuat
kejahatan di muka bumi dengan membuat kerusakan.” (QS. Hud: 85).
Mereka menjawab: "Betul (Engkau Tuhan kami), kami menjadi saksi". (Kami
lakukan yang demikian itu) agar di hari kiamat kamu tidak mengatakan:
"Sesungguhnya kami (bani Adam) adalah orang-orang yang lengah terhadap ini
(keesaan Tuhan)",
Ayat ini mengingatkan kita bahwa sebelum manusia lahir telah diambil
kesaksiaannya akan keesaan Allah swt, oleh karenannya semua manusia pada
hakikatnya beragama tauhid atau mengesakan Allah swt
In the Qur'an, God describes two human weaknesses, namely the weak physically
and the weak (in the fight) of lust. "Allah is He who created you from a weak
state ..." (QS. Ar-Rum: 54).
"Allah wants to give you relief, and man is made weak." (QS. An-Nisaa ': 28).
"... indeed man is cruel and very foolish." (QS. Al-Ahzab: 72). Human cruelty
and ignorance in the above verse are due to the decay and impurity of the earth,
because of the bloodshed and the mischief of the man himself who did not care
for the earth and so in accordance with God's purpose.
4. Not fair.
Being fair is an act that is not always easy to implement in everyday life. Madyan
not be fair, finally punished by God, as in his words, "And Shoaib said, 'O my
people! Give full measure and full weight in justice, and wrong not people of
their rights and do not make evil on the face of the earth by doing harm. ” (QS.
Hud: 85).
That is: "And (remember) when thy Lord brought forth the seed of the children of
Adam from their servants and God took testimony of their souls (saying):" Am I not
thy God? "
They said: "True (You are our Lord), we are witnesses". So that on the Day of
Judgment you will not say: "We (the children of Adam) are the ones who are careful
about this,"
This verse reminds us that before man was born he had attested to the
oneness of Allah swt, by which all men were in fact religious or godly Allah
The essence of man in the Quran is as follows:
1. a powerful being
2. individuals with rational nature
3. able to propel himself to positive things
4. beings that are in the process of growing
1. Powerful beings who can move their lives to meet their needs.
2. Individuals whose rational nature is responsible for their intellectual
and social behavior.
3. Being able to direct himself to a positive goal is able to control and
control himself and is able to determine his fate.
4. Creatures that are in the process of growing and continuing to grow
are never completed (completely) throughout their life.
