to convey God's mandate with full responsibility. As a caliph,

               humans  must  be  people  who  will  convey  the  mandate  or
               teachings to their fellow humans. From this it is clear that the

               human  task  is  to  educate  and  convey  the  knowledge  or

               teachings of Allah to others with a noble and responsible task.
                     To achieve the essence of human presence, namely as a

               leader  (connector  and  liaison),  servant  or  educator,  then
               serving God is certainly in accordance with God's will because

               God is the most important conceptor or educator. Therefore,
               Allah gives an assessment of the highest human degree among

               His servants, as revealed in the Qur'an Surah Al Mujadilah

               verse 11:

                                                                     َّ
                                      ْ

                                                                        َ
                                         َّ
                                                     َّ
                                                ٰ
                               ْ
                                    ُ
                                مل وُت ْ وا َنْيِذلا ا ْ وُنما َنْيِذلا ُ ه اللّ ا ْ و ُزُشْنا ا ْ و ُزُشْنا َل
                                              َ
                              َ
                            "...Allah will exalt those who believe among you
                     and  those  who  were  given  knowledge  by  degrees..."
                     (Surah 58:11)
                     In the verse it is explained that it is people who are pious
               and people who are knowledgeable who get a higher level with
               Allah than others. So the higher a person's taqwa, the higher
               the value of education he has obtained. Therefore, the ultimate
               goal of God's mandate is to be pious and knowledgeable. To
