AI Summary
This assignment, titled "Tugas Personal 2", delves into the concept of religious formalism and its sufficiency in expressing faith. The student argues against the notion that formalism alone is adequate, exploring the potential for it to lead to a superficial understanding of religious practices. The student then provides a self-assessment of their own faith within the framework of religious formalism, particularly within the context of Islam. The assessment emphasizes the importance of understanding the fundamental teachings of Islam, as derived from the Quran and Hadith, to foster tolerance and positive relationships with non-Muslims. The student critiques the misconception that Islamic fundamentalism necessarily leads to negative behaviors or intolerance, highlighting the emphasis on justice, protection of non-Muslims' rights, and the prohibition of oppression as core tenets of Islam. Examples from the Quran, Hadith, and the actions of historical figures like Umar bin Khattab are provided to support the argument that a proper understanding of Islamic fundamentals promotes tolerance and harmonious coexistence. The assignment concludes by asserting that genuine faith, rooted in fundamental Islamic teachings, is essential for maintaining both the integrity of worship and positive relationships with people of other faiths.
