Thrust of faith and manifestations to faith according to the Qur'an and hadith: a study of content analysis

Abstract

The phenomenon of morality and moral decay among Muslims who are growing as if there is no solution is due to the core weakness of faith and manifestation of faith in the hearts of Muslims. According to the hadith that there are around 77 branches of faith that can be categorized into several major categories of Islamic development. This core should be explored, evaluated, and used as a model to measure the core index of the faith of Muslim individuals. Thus, this study tries to produce the core of faith and manifestation of faith among Muslim individuals according to the perspective of the Qur'an and hadith. While the research methodology uses a study in the form of content analysis by making MukhtasarSyua‘b al-Iman written by Imam al-Qazwini as verbatim data analyzed using NVivo version 12 as an analysis tool. The results of the study found that 77 branches of faith can be categorized into the core of faith and the seven main categories of manifestation to faith, namely B1 as Charity, B2 Morality, B3 Socializing, B4 Civilized, B5 Worship, B6 Jihad, and B7 Boundary. These findings produce the core elements of imams and model 7B manifestations to the faith that can assist the ministry, especially the Ministry of Education Malaysia, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Islamic Education researchers, and Islamic Education teachers so that they can build policies and self-help each Muslim individual for ensuring that Muslims are always in a high level of identity.
