Every society has a pattern of rules governing the rules of human behavior and human 

society in which it is located. Because morality is a regulator of individual behavior in socializing 

with community groups. With the growing moral good in society, social life in it will feel 

peaceful. It must be obeyed, because morals have a function in managing, maintaining order, and 

maintain harmony among communities that exist in a social institution.2 

Moral issues are often approached teenagers or children who are still undergoing a 

process of education. Every day people are always presented with the pattern of behavior diverse 

community. Moral problem is a shared responsibility, not the responsibility of each individual. 

Noting the fact frequently online media, or media write discussing deviant behaviors are 

concerned with morals, whether it is done by children, adolescents and adults. Juvenile 

delinquency more years of increasingly rising percentage and increasingly complex problems 

experienced.  

Things that affect the moral development of the individual self with the interaction 

activities inside and outside the individual. Moral teaching to teenagers, can not be taught in 

theory only, but takes practice. If adolescents are taught good morals then invite teenagers 

heading to a good socialization environment. 

Environment character formation of children, not only in the environment in which to 

play. However, the family and the school also has a very big role in the formation of the child 

katakter. Instead the family has a very big role in shaping the character of children. Because the 

moral values and attitudes of individuals grow and thrive in it. 

According to Aristotle man is Zoon politicon a term used by Aristotle to refer to a social 

creature. Explain that humans predetermined to live in a society and interact with one another, a 

thing which distinguishes man from animals. Human nature can not live with myself. Therefore, 

socializing can influence moral behavior patterns of individuals. How to invite people of good 

socialization to form a religious humanist communities, and able to uphold peace, decency, 

discipline, cleanliness, harmony. This is what finally packed in a humanistic theory and developed 

in a learning theory.3 

Flow humanistic view that learning is not just the development of the cognitive qualities, 

but also a process that occurs within the individual that involves all existing domain. In other 

words, the humanistic approach to learning emphasizes the importance of emotions or feelings 

(emotional approach)open communication and values of the students.4 

The human person can be changed because it is influenced by something. Because there 

have been attempts to educate private and personalform.5 According Cholil Mansyur stated that 

the public life influence each other, which are interconnected behavior and actions are based on 

a rule and who violate them will be sanctioned in accordance with itsprovisions.6 

Every day people are always met with community or social groups that are small or large.

And each of these social groups have rules or laws governing the social group,  and the interplay 

of the personality of the individual self. 

In this case I want to learn about the development of the religious humanist education in 

the community. The author makes the point of the study was Tegalrejo district. Kab tripe. 

Lamongan. With the hope that the humanistic education, the man knows his position as khalifah 

fi ardhli. 

Humanist Education 

In Indonesian dictionary7 can be found humanist term derived from the root word 

human with all forms of derivatives, all of which have different meanings with each other. 

Human words have meanings: (1) human nature, (2) humane (virtuous, noble minds, and so on). 

The word humanist meaning: (1) those who crave and to struggle for a better social life, based 

on the principles of humanity, servant of the interests of human beings, and (2) the adherents of 

the ideology that considers human beings as objects paramount. The word humanism (humanism: 

English) means: (1) flow aimed at reviving a sense of humanity and aspiring social life better, (2) 

understand that considers man as an object of study of the most important, because this 

understanding assumes rational persons as the most value high, as the source of the last value, 

and serves on fertilization of creative development and moral development of individuals in a 

rational and meaningful without reference to the concepts of supernatural,8and (3) the flow of 

the renaissance era which makes the classic literature as the basis for the entire human 

civilization. Said humanistic meaning: the growth of humanity. The humanization is invented 

word, that has a sense of growing sense of humanity9.  

In this case the authors concluded humanists were some set pattern of life which was 

based on the love that upholds human dignity so that they could create the dynamic community 

that there was no issue that destroys human dignity10.  

In the humanist paradigm, humans are viewed as creatures of God who have a nature-

specific nature that should be developed. And human nature can only be developed through 

education that really humanize (humanist education). Humanist education oriented towards human 

development (humanpeople),emphasizing human values, and cultural values in education. The main 

purpose is humanitarian, normative and personality. Personality, developed is a complete 

personality, integrated and unified with the socio-cultural values. And her own personality can be 

observed from the behavior and experience. The fundamental objective of humanist education is 

to form a family, community, and citizens both have a spirit of democratic, responsible, have 

self-esteem, creative, rational, objective, unprejudiced, introspective against change and renewal 

and is able to utilize the free time effectively.11

Associated with the religious, the authors relate to the concept of humanistic education 

in the review of the Qur'an which is equipped with a tafseer that exist, as well as an analysis of 

some of the figures that will be customized with themes paragraph relating to the cases of 

humanism. 

As for the notion of education writers to interpret the process of science to pupils, 

students, or individual students continuously as the target of character development, moral, 

mental, man. Right education is to free a person from various confinement, intimidation and 

exploitation of these relate to the humane education that teaches pemanusiaan whole human 

being, unique, independent, and creative. 

Islamic educational purposes creates a perfect man. Terbinanya Muslim personality or perfect 

man. To form an individual who has a complete personality, the existence of religious education 

is a necessity that must be taught, even in public schools. However, in the plains of operational 

process is not only done limited transfer of knowledge, but far more important is how they earn 

science is able to produce a good attitude in accordance with the value of the knowledge they 

have messages. 

Islamic Education has a strategic role as a means of human resources and human investment. 

This means that besides education aims to cultivate a better life, had also coloring and become 

ethical and moral foundation as the glue of human values in the empowerment of 

nationalidentity.12 Departing from the significance of this study, it is natural for nature education 

is a process of humanization.  

Education humanistic views human beings as human beings, that all God's creatures by 

nature-nature certain to be developed to the maximum and optimal education (Islam) humanistic 

education is to introduce appreciation for the high to the man as a creature of God's glorious 

and free, and within the limits of its existence essential and also as representative of Allah as 

described in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 30.13 Therefore, humans have a moral responsibility to the 

environment, such as keterpanggilannya to devote themselves to the benefit of society. Humanist 

principles emphasize the importance of individual human needs. Individuals have the impulse 

towards self-actualization and responsibility to themselves and others. 

The concept of humanistic study suggests there are at least two main things that need to 

be fostered in the educational process. Secondly it is the process of forming the figure of the 

human profile with human mentality (human) who has the physical appearance of a healthy, 

normal, and berkelakukan well, be natural and commendable morals. The process of formation 

of humane human being analogous to the humanization of education. 

 

Religion Concept 

Religion Concept of humanitarian summarized description of "humanism" arises when 

human existence has been questioned. When a person is given a question; "Which is more 

important in human life: whether to seek the truth as high as possible or organize a good living 

as a human being?" At the same time confronted with the problem of perennial human about

human nature itself. This humanism outlook actually want to restore the term "humanize" the 

true meaning, which is an attempt to apply universal values in everyday life .14 

Knowingly or not, based on the above understanding, the actual concept of humanism 

has no logical connection with atheism. Humanism does not cause a person to become an atheist 

or theist. Humanism is a neutral idea of humanity that would affirm human dignity as human 

beings. Humans deserve respect because he is human. He was not an animal that can be kicked, 

nor goods are easily dibalang, nor is God who must be worshiped. He is a human being whose 

body could disintegrate into humus for death. Then, God should get a positive place in 

humanism. In every religion, basically always proclaim that God menicintai humans. Therefore, i t 

is inappropriate presumably humanism concept is much the existence of God. Humanism is not 

about religion or God. If so, do not replace religion of humanism is appropriate because it is 

notequal.15 

At about the 20th century there has been a change of attitude towards humanity 

unusually large compared to previous centuries. Humanism reached the peak of its maturity as a 

movement that places human dignity grandeur and glory. Humanism even become a kind of new 

religion for the modern society which is very highly praised and admiredman16. In this case, both 

movements humanism and as a school of thought to save the ideals and fundamental effort to 

locate and treat people more humanely. There is a process of humanization that is going to be 

pursued. 

Thus, the existence of religion is needed in the community. Since the purpose of religion 

as the order of God that can guide intelligent person to seek happiness in the life hereafter and 

the next life. Religious man here as a guide to understanding the concept of humanism as a 

whole for humans not to fall on the absolute freedom but the freedom of the human.
