Grateful degree my brother

My brother, in our socio-cultural life we ​​are led by Islam to be mutually respectful of one another. Formalization of respect among human beings among them can manifest in penabalan titles of glory as a marker that characterizes one another.

In general in the Indonesian language dictionary, the title is understood as a kuniyah which is marked as a prefix or suffix that is pronounced or written on a person's name to denote any respect, official position, or academic or professional qualification.

Informally, in our daily life we ​​commonly call or also called Teungku Fulan, Ustad (ah) Fulan (ah), or Haji Fulan, Fulin Saudagar, Al-Mukaram Mr. A and so on. Likewise formally, in the name added certain titles as mentioned or written with Dr. dr. Fulan, Ph.D, or Ir. Fulin, M.Sc or Fulanah, S.Pd, MAg, Ph.D and so on and so on.

Other formal titles include Prof, SKH, S.Ked, DRH, Drs, Dra, MA, BA, Amd, S.HI, SH, SE, M.Eng, and so on. Besides, we also know that there is a degree of glory that is relatively second to none, that is Al-Amin which was confirmed in Muhammad since before his prophetic mada. The Meccans including the Quraish infidels knew him Muhammad Al-Amin, Muhammad was a trustworthy person.

The naming and writing of titles in the name, both informally and formally, is intended to give an appreciation and respect for what is and or has been achieved by a person. Having always called and written the titles on our behalf, then how do we react to them? This is where the importance of us to remember again about morality to be grateful for the title.

First, it must be heartily conscious that the title is the trust of life given by God to His desired servants. Indeed, the embedded title implies a blend of faith, science and charity of the owner of the name.

Any title or title or honorific title held by a person is a form of appreciation for his efforts and dedication in his service. The title does not come instantly, but is backed up and accompanied by a struggle that can be very long and winding full of dynamics.

In the course of his work involves the totality of personality which is full of the problems of life that accompany it. Whether it's family, economic, social, cultural, political, and other personal issues. Therefore, the appreciation of his achievements is both a trust and a happiness.

As an ideal whose ideal should be confirmed in life. Therefore the longer the title that bears, it must berbading straight with the depth of faith, breadth of knowledge and blessing salihnya charity.

Second, do not hide his gratitude by always wetting oral utter alhamdulillah, especially when his name is called complete with a long title kuniah.

Third, do not cause it arrogant and arrogant. Because of the combination of faith, science and righteous deeds, the title that is carried will not cause the siempunya to be arrogant and arrogant. The higher and the longer the title, the more tawadhuk and humble.

Fourth, using the title wisely includes not forcing others to call or write our titles. Although the title has been achieved high, varying in number and length exceeds its own name, but in truth it is just a patch or extra in the course of one's life. And when we die, all of us are called bodies and have the same title of the deceased (ah). All mourners and even our own families no longer ask or call his name, let alone his title, but ask where is the body? The deceased (ah) will be dishaled or his body will be buried when and where?

Thus the title, only effective for him when the owner is still living in this world alone.
