God such as: "Upright alif straight tube, as far as the return journey to one" (Suwardi, 1991;
Thamrin, 2015).
Obedient humans will become humans who are able to control themselves with (reason
and mind) to always do good and be useful for others, always remember their creator and respect
the natural surroundings. This is reflected in the writing tradition of the Malay community in the
verse 'Gurindam Dua Belas' which reads, among other things:
Whoever knows Allah, ask
and in the midst of it there is nothing wrong
Whoever knows himself
then you know the God of the sea
Relationships between Humans
The Concept of Human Relations with Others (Hablun Minannas).
Humans are individual beings as well as social beings. Humans as individual beings
cannot live alone but live in groups. The smallest human group is called the family and the larger
group is called the community or nation. Malays are synonymous with meaningful expressions
showing the attitude of human life, unity, deliberation and social justice (Esram, 2010; Suwardi,
1991). This will be the foundation for the creation of an ideal life order. As stated in the following
article 'Gurindam Twelve':
The king agrees with the minister
Like a garden fenced with thorns
Be true to the king
Signs of being any work
Justice for the people
The king's sign gets inayat
The article in the gurindam has the meaning if the king agrees, agrees, in line with his
ministers, it is like a garden fenced with thorns, nothing can enter the garden. If you have a sense
of obedience, obedience and follow the king's orders, then all orders will be carried out as well as
possible. The law is fair, impartial and arbitrary towards the people, that is a sign that the king will
get God's help (Esram, 2010). A just leader is one who can create a climate that encourages the
proper practice of religion, so that everyone can carry out their spiritual duties as holders of God's
mandate. The essence of the task is to manage and prosper the earth. This is of course in line with
the spirit of humanity which states that humans were created to be caliphs, to manage the earth
