Holiness is in right action. What God desire is in your mind and your heart, and what to do decide to do every day you will be good man or not. “When I was seventeen I won a great victory, I felt in that moment, I shalt to be live in one hundred. Now I know, I shall not see thirty”. None of us chooses our end really. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when you will be a king or man of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand in front of God, you cannot say that I was told by others to do those, or that virtue was not companion at the time. __“Kingdom of Heaven” v DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis for they who endeavour to be “human”_ vi TRANSLITERATION English Transliteration System International Version1 Arabic Written Arabic Written ب B ط ṭ ت T ظ ẓ ث Th ع ʿ ج J غ Gh ح ḥ ف F خ Kh ق Q د D ك K ذ Dh ل L ر R م M ز Z ن N س S و W ش Sh ه H ص ṣ ء ʾ ض ḍ ي Y 1 Tim penyusun skripsi, Pedoman Penulisan Skripsi Fakultas Ushuluddin, Fakultas Ushuluddin,Semarang, 2013p, 142–144. vii ACKNOWLADGEMENT ﻢﯿﺣﺮﻟا ﻦﻤﺣﺮﻟا ﷲا ﻢﺴﺑ Praise is to Allah who had guided me to finish this paper, never could You have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah.
