- Everything in the world is a gift from Allah, created to serve human needs and worship of Allah.
- The truth of Allah’s commands is absolute and beneficial.
- Allah’s knowledge is comprehensive, covering all creation in detail.

3. Allah’s Knowledge and Creation
- Allah’s knowledge (Alim, Khabir) penetrates all creation, including human thoughts and actions.
- Humans must seek knowledge to use Allah’s creations according to His will.
- Everything created has a purpose and function, including simple things like clothing (to cover, protect, and avoid arrogance).
4. The Mission of Humans on Earth (Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 30)
- Humans are created as Khalifah (Caliphs) on earth.
- The earth and everything on it is a mandate (amanah) given by Allah to humans.
- The mission is to live according to Allah’s will, managing the earth responsibly and bringing people closer to Allah.
- The concept of Khalifah includes:
- Replacing each other: Life is temporary; generations replace one another.
- Representing or acting on behalf of Allah: Humans have a mandate to steward the earth.
- Being entrusted with a mission: To prosper and maintain the earth’s resources and society.
- Understanding Arabic grammar and emphasis in the Quranic text is important to grasp the depth of this mission.
5. Human Nobility and Responsibility
- Humans are honored above other creatures (Quran 17:70).
- Corruption and dishonesty degrade human dignity.
- Angels were commanded to prostrate to Adam, symbolizing human honor.
- Humans have desires and free will, unlike angels, making their responsibility greater.
6. Practical Implications of Being Khalifah
- Muslims should love and defend their country as part of fulfilling their mandate.
- The role of government, military, and society in maintaining peace, justice, and prosperity is part of this stewardship.
- Faith, knowledge, and wealth are three pillars to be balanced for successful stewardship:
- Faith: Guides moral and ethical behavior.
- Knowledge: Enables proper understanding and use of resources.
- Wealth: Supports physical needs and societal development.
- Education and faith development are crucial to prepare future generations.
- The Indonesian state system (Pancasila and the Constitution) aligns with these values, emphasizing belief in God, justice, and religious freedom.
7. Generational Responsibility
- The Quran urges preparing better generations to replace the old.
- Weak faith, knowledge, or wealth in a generation leads to societal decline.
- Parents and society must nurture strong, knowledgeable, and pious successors.
- Examples from Islamic history (e.g., Umar bin Abdul Aziz) and national history (e.g., Bung Karno’s scholarship programs) demonstrate this.
8. Global and National Vision
- The mandate extends from local (where one lives) to global community cooperation.
- Muslims are encouraged to spread prosperity and goodness wherever they are.
- Respect for cultural diversity while upholding Islamic values is important.
9. Call to Action and Practical Guidance
- Muslims should actively engage in worship, education, and societal development.
