strange manMan can be interpreted differently according to the biological, spiritual, and cultural terms, or a mixture. Biologically, humans are classified as Homo sapiens (Latin for man), a primate species of mammal group that has high rate capability of the brain. In terms of spirituality, they are described using the concept of a varied life in which, in religion, understood in connection with the divine forces or creatures living in a myth, they are also often compared with other races. In cultural anthropology, they are described based on the use of language, their organization in a plural society and technological development, and mainly based on their ability to form groups and institutions to support and help each other.
Classification of humans, most importantly, based on their gender. Naturally, the sex of a newborn child whether male or female. The young man known as the sons and men as men. The young woman known as the princess and adult women as women.
Another classification is based on age, ranging from fetuses, infants, toddlers, children, adolescents, puberty behind, youths, adults, and (the) old.
In addition there are many other classification-classification, based on physical characteristics (skin color, hair, eyes, nose shape, height), an affiliate of the socio-politico-religious (religion / beliefs XYZ, XYZ citizens, party members XYZ ), kinship (family: immediate family, distant relatives, foster families, adoptive families, foster families, friends, enemies) and so forth.
Figure is a term for people who are famous (eg 'political figure', 'figure who appeared in the movie', 'figure who received the award', etc.).
Man is the most perfect creature ever created by Allah SWT. Perfection is owned by humans is a consequence of their functions and duties as caliph this earth. Al-Quran explains that humans are ground using a variety of terms, such as: Turab, Thien, Shal-shal, and Sualalah.
This could mean that God created human corpses of various chemical elements found from the ground. As for the stages in the process, the Qur'an does not explain in detail. However, most of the scientists argue that human thought originated from an evolution of an animal is a type of monkey, these concepts only concern the field of biology. This assumption is of course very wrong because this theory was more than a biological concept. The theory of evolution has become the foundation of a philosophy that most humans misleading. In this case the human makes us lose our dignity as a creature created the perfect and most noble.
Although humans comes from natural materials and of life contained in it, but humans are different from other creatures with a very big difference because of the gift God granted him the reason and understanding. That is because of the submission of all that exist in nature is for man, as a mercy and bounty from Allah SWT. {"Allah has subjected for you what is in the heavens and on earth all of them."} (Surat Al-Jatsiyah: 13). {"Allah has subjected for you the sun and moon are constantly circulating. He also has subjected for you night and day. "} (Surah Ibrahim: 33). {"Allah has subjected for you to ship to sail in a sea of His will."} (Surah Ibrahim: 32), and other verses that describe what God has blessed the human form of delicious sense and understanding as well as derivatives (derivatives) of what Allah has subjected to humans so that they can use it as they wish, with a variety of ways they could do. Position sense in Islam is an advantage given by God to human beings than with His other. With it, people can create things that can simplify their affairs in the world. However, all that people had of course there are limitations, so there are fences that should not be skipped.
Thus, humans are living creatures. In man there is nothing contained in any other living creature that is special. He's growing, getting bigger, eat, rest, give birth and breed, maintain and to defend himself, felt the lack of and need anything else, so try to fulfill it. He has a sense of compassion and love,
sense of fatherhood and as a child, as she has a sense of fear and safety, like property, like power and ownership, a sense of hate and a sense of love, feeling happy and sad and so is the form that gave birth to feelings of love. It also has created the urge in man to do the gratification of his love for it and meet her needs as a result of the potential inherent in her life. Therefore, people always try to get what suits his needs, it also experienced by other living creatures, only humans are different from other living things in terms of perfection of the methods for obtaining the objects satisfy their needs and also the procedures to satisfy these needs. Other living things do it just based on instincts that God has created for her while humans do it based on reason and mind that God has blessed him.
Today human beings, the process can be observed despite struggling. Based on the observation that depth can be seen that human beings are born mother from her womb the creation process started since the meeting between the spermatozoa with the ovum.
In Al-Qur `an the process of human creation is not described in detail, but the nature of human creation according to Islam that is, as beings who were ordered to maintain and manage the earth. This of course should we associate with the human consequences of the given a perfection of reason and thought that was never owned by the living creatures other. Human Beings has given perfection to be able to put himself in accordance with the nature of the creation of the earth as a guardian or manager who in this case called the caliphate. Human status as caliph, noted in the letter All-Baqarah verse 30. The word caliph comes from the word khalafa yakhlifu khilafatan or khalifatan which means forward, so that word can be interpreted as voter caliph or successor to the teachings of God.
But most Muslims interpret the leader or replacement, which is usually associated with leadership positions Muslims after the Prophet's death, both leaders are included as well in the future khulafaurrasyidin-'Abbasiah Muawiyah. However, the function of the caliphate itself in accordance with what has been described above is very broad, ie, other than as a human leader also serves as the successor to religious teachings that have been done by his predecessors, but it is also the custodian or the caliphs guard the planet from destruction.
WHO IS HUMAN
The first human presence can not be separated from the origin of life in the universe. The origin of humans according to science can not be separated from the theories of other species that have been there before through the process of evolution.
Evolution of paleontological experts say can be divided into four groups based on their level of evolution, namely:
First, the level of pre-human fossils found in Johannesburg South Africa in 1942 who named the fossil Australopithecus.
Second, the level of the fossil ape-man found in Solo in 1891, called Pithecanthropus erectus.
Third, early humans, the stage is closer to modern humans that have been classified as the same genus, Homo, although the species is distinguished.
Fossils of this species in the Neander, because it is called Homo Neanderthalesis and relatives are found in Solo (Homo Soloensis).
Fourth, modern humans or Homo sapiens who have been clever to think, use your brain and his reason.
Some Definitions of Man:
1. Human beings are the primary, ie among all the natural and supernatural beings, human beings have a free spirit and essence Highness.
2. Man is free will. This is the extraordinary strength and who can not be explained: the will in the sense that humanity had entered into the chain of causality as the main source of which the free - to him the natural world-world-of nature, history and society totally dependent, and constantly intervened in and act on this deterministic series. Two existential determination, freedom and choice, had given him a quality such as Lord
3. Humans are creatures who are aware. This is the most prominent quality; Consciousness in the sense that through the amazing power of reflection which, he understood the actuality of the external world, which reveal the secrets hidden from observation, and is able to analyze their respective realities and events. He did not stay on the surface of the multi-sensory and effect, but also observe what is outside sensing and concluded the cause of the result. Thus he crossed the line and extend penginderaannya bonding time up to the past and future, into the time who did not attend objectively. She got a grip distinguished, deep and wide for their own environment. Consciousness is a substance which is more noble than existence.
4. Human beings who are self-aware. This means that he is the one-satuna living beings who have knowledge of his presence alone, he was able to learn, analyzing, and evaluate themselves.
5. Human beings are creative. Creative aspects of this behavior as a whole separate himself from nature, and placed it by God. This causes people to have magical power-quasi-pseudo-miracolous-who gave him the ability to bypass the natural parameters of existence itself, given the extent and depth of existential unlimited, and placed in a position to enjoy what nature has not been given.
6. Human beings are an idealist, a distinguished ideal devotee. By this means he is never satisfied with what I had, but struggled to turn it into what it should be. Idealism is a major factor in the movement and human evolution. Idealism does not give a chance to settle in solid fences reality imaginable. It is this strength has always forced people to reflect, discover, explore, create, make and create the physical and spiritual nature.
7. Humans are moral beings. This is where the important question arises about the value. The value consists of the existing bond between humans and each symptom, behavior, actions, or where a higher motive than the motives which the benefits arise. This bond may be called the holy bond, because he respected and adored so much that people are willing to devote or sacrifice their lives for the sake of this bond.
8. Humans are the main creatures in the natural world, has its own unique essence, and as a recreation or as a symptom of anticipatory special and precious. He has the will, which interfere in the independent nature, have the power to vote and have a stake in creating a lifestyle against natural life. This power gave him an involvement and responsibility which would have no meaning if not stated with reference to the value system.
The Qur'an views human beings as being biological, psychological, and social. Humans as Basyar subject to the destiny of God, together with other creatures. Humans as individuals and al-nas related to the blast of God's spirit that has freedom in choosing to submit to or oppose the destiny of God.
Humans have a natural tendency in the sense of potential, namely completeness given at birth to the world. Human potential can be grouped in two ways, namely the potential for physical and spiritual potential.
Man physical potential is the psychological nature of humans as spiritual beings who think given knowledge and to bear spiritual potential is reasonable, magic, and lust. Intellect in Indonesian mean thought or reason. In the Qur'an sense interpreted with wisdom, intelligence, and understanding. Thus in the Qur'an not only in the realm of reasonable ratio, but also a sense, even more than that sense be interpreted with wisdom or wise.
Asyari Moses (1992) mentions the meaning alqaib with two senses, the first rough or physical sense, namely in the form of a lump of meat, located on the left chest, often called the heart. Meanwhile, the second meaning is a subtle understanding of divine and spiritual, that is human nature that can capture all the understanding, knowledgeable, and wise.
Sense used by humans in order to think of nature, while the remembrance of God is an activity centered on the heart.
The lust is a force that encourages people to achieve his wish. These impulses are often called primitive urges, because it is freely without knowing good and bad. Therefore lust is often referred to as the encouragement of free will.
And DIFFERENCE EQUATION WITH HUMAN OTHER CREATURES.
Man is essentially the same as other living creatures, which have the desire and purpose. He struggled to reach the goal, supported by knowledge and awareness. The difference between them lies in the dimension of knowledge, awareness and human advantages compared with other creatures.
Man as one of the creatures that live on earth is a creature who has the most unique character. Humans are physically not very different from the animal, so that the thinkers equated with animals. Location of the main differences between humans and other creatures are in its ability to give birth culture. Culture only a human being, while animals only have habits that are instinctif.
Compared with other creatures, humans have had to distinguish other creatures. Excess human is the ability to move in space however, both on land, at sea, or in the air. While the animals could only move in a limited space. Although there are animals that move on land and at sea, but still have limitations and can not meampaui humans. About the advantages of human or other creature described in the letter of Al-Isra verse 70.
Among the human characteristics are:
1. Creative Aspects
2. Aspects of Science
3. Aspects of the Will
4. Direction Morals
In addition, Al-Ghazaly was also suggested by the fact factual evidence and direct simplicity, which seems no different from the arguments made by Ibn Sina (d. 1037) for the same purpose, through verification with factual reality. Al Ghazaly shows that, among the creatures living there are differences that indicate the level of individual ability. Privilege of living things from inanimate matter is the nature of the motion. Inanimate objects have a monotonous motion and based on the principle of nature. While living plants the lowest level, in addition to having a monotonous motion, also has the ability to move in varied. The principle is called the vegetative soul. Types of animals have a higher principle than on the plants, which causes the animals, besides the ability to move varies also have a taste. This principle is called a sensitive soul. In fact humans also have surplus of animals. Man not only has the advantages of the animal. Humans also have owned all types of these creatures, in addition to being able to think and also have the option to do and not to do. This means that humans have a principle that allows to think and choose. This principle is called the nafs al insaniyyat. This principle is truly distinguish humans from all other creatures.
