all knowledge comes from God, therefore knowledge must also be

given to others.
In terms of togetherness, the traditional proverb

states:

Sitting Surang Basampik-Sampik,
sit basmo raceg field,

kato surang rounded,
kato basamo dipaiyokan. 102

This means that if there is a problem, it should be
solved together in a negotiation or deliberation so that problem

solving is much easier and more flexible. Which is described as

follows: the world feels narrow if you live alone because you do
not negotiate in solving problems, on the contrary the world feels

wide because with other people you can exchange ideas, shared
opinions are much better than one person's opinion. As in the word

of Allah Surah Ali Imran verse 159:
ْ ْ َ
ْ رِفْغَتْسا ُ فْعا َكِل ا ْ وُّضَفْن َ لَ ِبلَقلا ظْيِلَغ ا ْ وَل مُهَل َتْنِل ِ ه اللّ ا
ْ
للا ل للا ْل اَذِا ۚ رْمَ ْ ْ ِ ْ
لَا مُه ْ روا مُهَل
ِ
"Consult you in all matters". (Surah 3:159)

102 AA Navis, Alam Takambang Becomes a Teacher, p. 83, which
means: Sitting alone is narrow, sitting together wide, one person says in a
roundabout way, the word together is discussed.
