Every single part in this universe is the creation of God, including human, animal, planet, sun, moon, plant, air, and even atom. We could not deny that we are nothing without other people and his creations. In other words, the essence we are created in this world is that to socialize each other. Thus, in the context of Islamic view, we would find two kinds of relationship; the first is relationship between one and others in which is called as ‘horizontal line’, then the second one is relationship between people and their God which is called as ‘vertical line’. Horizontal Line here could be described with socialization in a sociaty, respect each other, and so on. From this way, people may tend to consider themselves as a social personality. In other hands, Vertical Line in this context defined as a relationship between people and their God. Then, this is what I am going to explore deeper in terms of how vertical and horizontal line having the same essential part in this life.
One of the five basic principles of the Republic of Indonesia (Pancasila) is the belief in one God Almighty. That is the first and even the most important point for people of Indonesia; it speaks for itself that every single person must believe in God. In this case, the belief in one God does not mean only Islam, buat also other religions. However, it seems to be commonplace around us in which the existence of God is ‘nothing’. One side, more than 80% people of Indonesia are Muslim, and this makes Indonesia being able to be the greatest Muslim population in worldwide. But unfortunately Indonesia also becomes ‘the winner’ for corrupting among Pacific Asian. This research have newly made by PERC (Political and Economic Risk Consultancy) in Hongkong. They even said that Indonesia does not have any foundation yet in terms of overcoming a huge corruption. In addition, thousands of officeholders are free to corrupt as much as they want. Automatically these curruptors are growing up continuously as a result of the badness of criminal justice we have. One thing we might ask a question, don’t they have any belief of religion?
Another phenomenon, some conservative Muslim in Indonesia still keep ‘radical’ thought in their mind. Basically, they want to change what Indonesia has already had, that is the first principle of Pancasila, with Islamic concept. In other words, they have an important mission to change Democracy of Pancasila with Islamic system. In this case, they often force, intimidate, even ‘strike’ others whom different with their concept while they are also Muslim. The most ‘dangerous’ thought of theirs is that they think that people who are not obedient with Islamic rules are allowed to be killed. In recent times, we see that Islam in general has been identified as terrorism, even in Indonesia. This is the fact that there are many places have been exploded by reason of responding to United State, England, and Australia. When we know that the ‘protagonist’ here is a Muslim, how do we feel as a Muslim also? That works against Islamic image itself, doesn’t it? Furthermore, that means that they intuitively deny the plurality of His creatures, don’t they?
Naturally, each person around the world are given by God to be able to identify where is the right and the wrong without considering the eyes of their ethnic, religion, and group. Nothing belief or religion which educates their people to do crime and disturbance. Before doing crime, thief or corruptors are consciously understand that what they do is wrong. But finally they still decided to do it while they are politicians, officeholders who definitely ever been studied for years even from Islamic school or University. In addition, some ‘people’ of Indonesia – who are still lack of comprehension about Islam but they often react in the name of Islam – should learn more the essence of Islamic teaching. The Almighty God creates His creations differently, it is impossible to force others being the same or similar even permit to kill others. They believe and love in God but they kill His creatures, what’s wrong with these?
Those two phenomena are only simple description, because there are thousands more examples which identify the existence of ‘the Death of God’. In general, not only politicians who would be classified as people who celebrate the ‘death of God’ but also all of components involving us. Finally, Century case, bomb terror, and any kinds of corruption in this beloved nation must be removed. Indeed, it is not easy but what should we do now is that decrease and minimize them in order to create prosperous of Indonesia in the future. Finally, I would like to say that Indonesia is not Europe, Indonesia is not United States, Indonesia is not Australia, and Indonesia is not Arab. On the contrary, Indonesia is Indonesia, Islamic Indonesian is not Arabian’, and ‘God must be alive’ in Indonesia generally and specially in our daily life.
