Abstract

This research aims to explore the true values of religion that are a reference for humans in religion. This study produces findings indicated by the number of adherents of a religion that merely prioritize personal piety rather than social piety. In their eyes, personal piety seems to be the culmination of religiousness to deny the dimension of social piety that should be a practical area of authentic religiousness. Whereas, Islam is a religion of hanif  and rahmatan lil alamien that protects all mankind in its various variants. Islam moves in two dimensions, one with the other inseparable. However, the two must be correlated and fused in one intact frame. The dimensions are vertical and horizontal. These two dimensions, like souls and bodies, depend on each other to reach the complete peak of existence. Because the perfection of religiousness will have a positive impact on the surrounding environment as a form of balance between the two. Religion is not solely for the sake of God Almighty. However, religion is acting praxis in the real world, as the perfect management of religiousness for the achievement of the configuration of personal and social piety. The method used is a qualitative approach to literature studies with descriptive types.
