"And it is He who spreads out the earth, and
raises mountains and rivers on it. And from each fruit
he made pairs, and closed the day with the night. Verily,
it is a proof or explanation for a people who
think."(Qur'an 13:3)
The information above shows us that nature and the

events in it must be used as material for thought and is a
science that must be explored and thought about.

2. Skills
In Minang custom, everyone is required to have skills or

functions in society. As the following proverb:
Nan paralyzed the house,

nan buto paambuih lasuang,

nan broken pangajuik chicken,
70
nan outrigger looks baiyo.
a. Expert in the field (The right man on the right

place)

70 Idrus Hakimy, Mustika Series, p. 14, which means: The lame of the
householder, the blind who blow the mortar, the broken one drives the rooster,
the shrewd place of deliberation.
