In the law of the
Republic of Indonesia number 20 of 2003 on the national education system
article 1 mentions
"education is
a conscious and planned effort to create an atmosphere of learning and learning
process so that learners are actively developing their potential to have the
spiritual power of religious self-control personality noble moral intelligence
as well as the skills needed him community nation and state"
The term education
can simply be interpreted as a human effort to foster a personality in
accordance with the values contained in the community and nation. Tafsir
Tarbawi defines education as a human activity undertaken to help fellow human
beings to be willing and able to achieve his dignity as human beings. In line
with that as a Muslim of course we realize that the same thing is also
contained in the Qur'an that we often read every day maybe that for some
people, precisely in Al Mujadalah verse 11 which means to sound more or less
like this "God will raise the degree those who believe among you and those
who have knowledge ".
From the meaning of
the textual verse that implies that the bridge or the most powerful weapon to
prosper the survival of human life as well as raising human dignity and one of
them through education that will produce knowledge of the education.
In this
sophisticated era not many people think that education is a job security, the
higher the education the better the job. It should be underlined also that
education is not aimed at creating robots or workers, the purpose of education
is to create people capable of building a proper human civilization in other
words educating human beings, directing and guiding people to their Lord.
Nelson Mandela,
former president of South Africa, once addressed the contents of the speech he
said "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the
world".
From this also the
assumption that education is just as a boring event and ultimately looking for
work, is a wrong perspective. Indeed work and success lies not in education.
But education can bridge anything that people want in this world even to
akhirat though. and ultimately God will raise his servant because of
the scholarship.
