EDUCATION AND AWARENESS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Second, the backwardness, the meaning behind the field of advanced science and technology (excellence in education). The three elements of a society or a perpetrator can be called or mental disability; with low education, lack of information, and unable to think abstractly as well. Three characters hold an unfavorable attitude of both society and the environment.
Third, population density, which is now the world's population is more than about 6 billion people, which resulted in habitat changes in the environment affect the physical, biological and socio-cultural.
Fourth, technological developments, which in a real social life, poilitic, economics, culture, education, and science is to show how the field of advancing to achieve more efficient and effective. Technology can bring to welfare, but also can lead to disaster. Although the benefits for humans, it also causes more damage occurs, such as the birth of waste by factories, until the air is polluted, especially in the Pacific Islands, because of the proliferation of unconventional Mine (IT), many forests into barren and the impact on the environment. The source of this disease is easy to grow and evolve, it can be proved by the increasing levels of dengue fever which led to the death rate increased in every year.In the Qur'an has warned in a letter of Al-A'raaf verse 56 "And do not make mischief on earth after (God) to fix it, and pray to him with fear (not to be received) and expectations (be granted) Verily Allah's mercy is very close to people who do good. "Environmental ProtectionEnvironment Act article 3, the preservation of the environment means the attainment of skills and capacity to increase harmonious and balanced. In preservation, has two emphasis: 1) Conservation in the form of better environmental quality, with stability and without compromising the needs of others. 2) Protecting the environment in the form of improving his form initially, by removing and keeping the environment pollution.Above also explained that "pollution is the introduction or the introduction of life, matter, energy, and change the sequence of the human or natural processes, so that environmental quality is less or no longer able to function as intended" Just as the word of God contained in the letter Al-Baqarah verse 220: ". God knows who is making the destruction of the improvements and if God wills, He can bring your problems to God Almighty and wise"This will be captured if he would try to emphasize the benefits in terms of the natural environment. four resources can be managed so that can be enjoyed by human, human being (as social human beings), biological resources, natural resources and artificial non-biological resources. Thus, human and natural resources are to be developed, so the phenomenon and the problem can be overcome by wise and courteous, without haste and careless. In addition, the quality of education is very well organized and ensure sustainable use .
Intelligent Education for Children
Free Education
The
dream of the coming of free education that has been eagerly awaited
since the time of independence of the Republic of Indonesia has emerged
with the arrival of the phenomenon as free education for primary school
and Junior High School. The
phenomenon of free education is indeed very long-awaited, articles in
the Government issued (Operational Costs) to cover the prices of
books that were increasingly inflated, it's donations, teacher salaries
are not sufficient and other charges.Pros Cons of Free Education Judging from its development, this phenomenon can not be separated from the pros and cons. For
a pro with these programs say that it is the government's efforts to
improve the quality of education and the reduction of school dropouts,
free schooling for parents to reduce the burden of his mind to the issue
of education expenses and no more children should not take the exam
only because they have not paid school fees. While
the counter said the government like saviors, This is because there has
been more used to doing this, the NGOs concerned with education and
incapable of handling the public. There
is less sense to go to school, much less awareness of education,
children are more concerned with the work of the school should not
release anything. The cost of free education only up to secondary school while the Senior Secondary School no. While
the Senior High School graduate who is a lance over primary and
established age to find employment as well as the country foreign
exchange earner.School to be qualified because it is supported by learners who have a passion to learn. They will learn that there is a challenge, one of which cost challenges. The younger generation does not have nurtured for a free all-mental. Should be free of mental washing away. Hard
working, humble, tolerant, able to adapt, and piety, that is what must
be grown for the young generation is able to compete in the
international world, able to take part in the world arena, not only to
the fans, the nation's voracious consumption of products. The
most difficult is that the government create the conditions so that
every parent gets enough income to afford their children's education.Not only students but teachers who are affected by the free education. Most
of the free school teachers have developed a self-limited and will
eventually cause trouble motivating learners to think about "survival". Worse if the teacher thinking: service to the students for fees only. If such situation, it is "far from the truth" to raise the quality of education.Schools, especially small private school, will be difficult to cover operational costs, let alone the welfare of teachers. Financing
such as electricity, water, building maintenance, computers,
stationery, transport, food allowance, and other expenses to be paid. Even more difficult to find a donor. Schools still survive just based on the spirit of service managers. Without the contribution of the learner, how the financing will close it.Education Quality vs. Free Education the
implementation of free education does not mean loss of quality of
education, decreased interest in learning the students, and decreased
levels of teachers ability in teaching and learning activities in
education. For
it is not just students who commuted in terms of cost, but now the
teachers also will be relieved by government policy would increase the
welfare of teachers. In
2009 the government has decided to comply with the provisions of
article 31 of the 1945 budget allocation for education by 20%. So
will the availability of the budget to raise the incomes of teachers,
especially teachers civil servants (PNS) are not low-ranking families
with 0-year period of employment, income of at least Rp. 2 million.BOS
funds received from the school shall use these funds to finance all the
activities in the admission of new students, the contribution of
education funding , the purchase of textbooks, the cost of daily
tests and exams, as well as operational maintenance costs.While
cost is not a priority for the school and have a great cost, such as:
study tours (field trips), comparative studies, purchase of uniforms for
students and teachers for personal gain (rather than an inventory of
school), as well as the purchase of materials or equipment that do not
support school activities, all BOS costs are not covered. And
collection costs will also depend on the policies of each school, and
of course the government will continue to oversee and ensure that these
costs do not burden the students and parents. What if an obstacle occurs or when there are schools that are still shortcomings in the fulfillment of its operational costs? Local governments are obliged to meet the shortcomings of existing budget funds. In order for the teaching-learning process was still possible without the lack of funds.Looking
at the above conditions, it is the government's efforts to make people prosperous in terms of economics and education, but it
would be nice not to impose a free school but expensive schools, and
scholarship programs. Why schools should be cheap. Among
them: low-cost schools are everyone's expectations, not only the
students and parents, but teachers as well as assurances from the
government welfare. Cheaper
in many ways the school can be fun, without the burden of a dependent
child's school fees are expensive, parents send their children to be
quiet and fundraising affairs to meet family needs more concentrate
to the needs of clothing, food, shelter and health. The child can still perform educational activities, because no longer be a burden for parents.And is not one of the pleasant atmosphere of the most important factor in the teaching-learning process? How students learn best when its concentration should be divided think of school funds that have not paid off his parents. Or outside of school time must be shared to help parents find additional revenue. Is not the case the students who committed suicide because of school fees has not become a choking warning?The
existence of cheap school educational activities fund most or entirely
borne by the government, to foster public confidence in the role and
existence of government. Government
policies will soon be heard and obeyed the community while actually
feel the government is on their side and try to welfare community.
Instead, the government will have a strong political bargaining. One of the prerequisites of a strong and sovereign government is having to get love from people. ***

prove of faith
God has laid down for a Muslim four major
exercises of faith, some are
daily, some weekly, some monthly, some annually and some are required as a
minimum of once in a lifetime.

These major exercises of faith
are:

In Islamic prayer, every muscle of the body joins the soul and the mind in the worship and glory of God. Islamic prayer is an act of worship.
It is a matchless and unprecedented formula of intellectual meditation and spiritual devotion, of moral elevation and physical exercise, all combined.
Offering of prayers is obligatory upon every Muslim male and female who is sane, mature, and in case of women, free from menstruation and confinement due to childbirth.
Requirements of prayers: performing of ablution (Wudu), purity of the whole body, clothes and ground used for prayer, dressing properly and the declaring the intention and facing the Qiblah; the direction of the Ka'bah at Mecca.

Optional prayers- Voluntary prayers during the day and night.
Times of Obligatory Prayers
Prayers should be offered in their due times, unless there is a reasonable excuse. Delayed obligatory prayers must be made up.

Zakah does not only purify the property of the contributor but also purifies his heart from selfishness and greed.
It also purifies the heart of the recipient from envy and jealousy, from hatred and uneasiness and it fosters instead good-will and warm wishes for the contributors.
Zakah has a deep humanitarian and social-political value; for example, it frees society from class warfare, from ill feelings and distrust and from corruption.
Although Islam does not hinder private enterprise or condemn private possessions, it does not tolerate selfish and greedy capitalism.
Islam adopts a moderate but positive and effective course between individual and society, between the citizen and the state, between capitalism and socialism, between materialism and spiritualism.
Every Muslim, male or female, who at the end of the year is in possession of the equivalent of (85 gm) of gold or more in cash or articles of trade, must give Zakah at the minimum rate of 2.5%
Zakah is paid on the net balance after paying personal expenses, family expenses, due credits, taxes, etc.
The recipients of Zakah are: the poor, the needy, the new Muslim converts, the Muslim prisoners of war (to liberate them), Muslims in debt, also employees appointed to collect Zakah, Muslims in service of research or study or propagation of Islam, wayfarers who are foreigners in need of help.
Taxes paid to the government do not substitute for this religious duty. Contributor should not seek pride or fame, but if disclosing his name and his contribution is likely to encourage others, it is acceptable to do so.
It is the largest annual convention of faith on earth.
Peace is the dominant theme. Peace with God, with one's soul, with one another, with all living creatures. To disturb the peace of anyone or any creature in any shape or form is strictly prohibited.
Muslims from all walks of life, from every corner of the globe assemble in Mecca in response to the call of God. There is no royalty but loyalty of all to God, the creator.
It is to commemorate the Divine rituals observed by Prophet Abraham and his son, Ishmael, who are the first pilgrims to the first house of God on earth; the Ka'bah.
It is to remember the grand assembly of the Day of Judgement when people will stand equal before God.
