[SULUH QOLBU] understand themselves

As a human being, we have the positive and negative potential,
therefore we should know what a positive potential
and negative potential are in ourselves. With the potential, hopefully
we can better understand ourselves, and then to be able to develop any
potential that is positive and train negative potential not stayed in
ourselves.
Here the positive and negative potential are in every human being.
The positive potential of people are: 1.Have capacity of
intelligence "And He taught Adam the nature of all things; then He
placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the nature of these
if ye are right." They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none,
save what Thou Hast taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in
knowledge and wisdom." He said: "O Adam! Tell them their natures." When
he had told them, Allah said: " Did I not tell you that I know the
secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what
ye conceal?" (Qur'an 2: 31, 32 , 33)
2.Have a tendency to close to God (hanif) Actually, even the worst
people who are evil, they have a desire to close with God, for
instance, when he really cannot do anything he actually realize the
strength of the other good deedsSo set thou thy face steadily and truly
to the Faith: (establish) Allah.s handiwork according to the pattern on
which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work
(wrought) by Allah. that is the standard Religion: but most among
mankind understand not."(Qur'an 30:30)
"But set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from
Allah the Day which there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall
men be divided (in two)." (Qur'an 30:43)

3.Have free will Animals also have free wills, but only based on
instinct.Human has intelligence, by his intelligence that make human
being special.Allah SWT guaranty the free will of the fundamental
things, namely religion, which mentioned the religion is Islam, but in
another part we are given the freedom of whether we will be Islam or
not.

"Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try
him: So We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight. We showed him
the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)."
(Qur'an 76:2,3)
4. Have a moral awareness"By the Soul, and the proportion and order
given to it. And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right. Truly
he succeeds that purifies it. And he fails that corrupts it! " (Qur'an
91:7-10)5.Creatures have glory, that make human to be appointed caliph
(khalifah)"We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with
transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and
pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of our
creation." (Qur'an 17:70)"Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will
create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one
who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate
Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know
not." (Qur'an 2: 30) The negative potential of people are: 1.Human like
overstep of bounds"Nay, but man doth transgress all bounds" (Qur'an
96:6)" In that he looketh upon himself as self-sufficient." (Qur'an
96:7)2.Have hastiness "The prayer that man should make for good, he
maketh for evil; for man is given to hasty (deeds)." (Qur'an
17:11)3.StingySay: "If ye had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of
my Lord, behold, ye would keep them back, for fear of spending them:
for man is (every) niggardly!" (Qur'an 17:100)4.Like learner sigh
moan"Truly man was created very impatient. Fretful when evil touches
him. And niggardly when good reaches him" (Qur'an 70:19-21)5.Like to
complain"We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of
mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things,
contentious." (Qur'an 18: 54)source: http://kebunilmu.blogspot.com
