Tawhidi Principle in the Perspective of Men to Perform Social Deeds
Hendy Herijanto
Abstract
A certain Muslim society apparently puts more importance on performing Religious Deeds and tends to ignore
Social Deeds. In light of the Tawhidi Principle, this paper attempts to ascertain that performing Religious Deeds
as God Servants must effect positively on performing Social Deeds as God Vicegerents. To achieve this objective,
some analysis is made on the exegesis of the related Qur'anic verses. In conclusion, performing Religious Deeds
must drive men to perform Social Deeds, as both will carry more weight to get final rewards in the Day of
Judgment. This is because God creates human beings to populate the earth and make it prosperous. That is to
apply the concept of Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar, or commanding the good and forbid the evil. If both Deeds are
done in balance, the world will become healthy and prosperous.
