Waoooo Baru Tahu.... Ternyata Manusia dan Hewan 11 - 12 nih !!!...(Hakikat Manusia Part 2)

The Role of Intellect (Akal) in Human Nobility
📌 Human nobility, or being in the "ahsani taqwim" (best form), is influenced by the intellect (akal), which can even surpass that of angels.
🧠 The quality of human intellect is not uniform across individuals and is primarily determined by two foundational factors: knowledge (ilmu) and faith (iman).
⚖️ Faith (iman) requires confirmation through verbal affirmation (like the Shahadah) and must be perfectly complemented by physical proof or action (like the Pillars of Islam).

Influence of Knowledge and Faith on Intellect
🔬 In matters of emotion (illustrated using dating/courtship), lacking knowledge leads to a low status in the partner's eyes, much like using ineffective romantic lines results in rejection.
💡 A person with knowledge (even in frivolous matters like "gombal" or sweet talk) can elevate their standing because they are utilizing their intellect effectively to attract attention.
💪 When faith (iman) is supported by knowledge (ilmu)—both religious and general—it strengthens faith, leading to an improvement in one's intellect and trajectory towards nobility.
📉 Conversely, low faith supported by low knowledge results in a degraded quality of intellect, pushing the individual toward a low status ("asfala safilin").

Defining True Humanity
📖 The concept derived from Mantiq (logic) states that "Al insanu hayawanun natiq" (Man is a rational animal); this means humans are fundamentally animals but possess reason (akal).
🤔 The difference between humans and mere animals lies in the use of this intellect; if used poorly or neglected, the "rational" aspect is removed, leaving humanity equivalent to an animal.
🌟 Utilizing one's intellect to the best of its capacity affirms one's true status as a noble human being; neglecting it leads to degradation and falling into the lowest state (asfala safilin).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Intellect (akal) is the defining characteristic that elevates humans to a noble position (ahsani taqwim).
➡️ Knowledge (ilmu) and Faith (iman) are the essential prerequisites that measure and enhance the quality of human intellect.
➡️ Introspection is necessary to determine if one is using their intellect to achieve a high moral position or letting it lapse, resulting in a low, base state.
