CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study Literary work means any article or essay that contains the values of kindness, written with beautiful language, and also is a form of creative art work that its object is a human being and life by using language as the medium. According to Robert Escapirt (2007: 2), literature is the crystallization of beliefs, values and norms agreed upon by the community. The birth of literary works is not just a language event, but a life event. Literature as a stage through which human beings produce novelty in life. The history records the existence of life changes inspired by literary works, although it is not the intrinsic purpose of literature. So the literature is the description of the fictitious person's life, which often presents a life colored by the attitudes and beliefs of the author background. According to Rene Wellek (1983: 32), literature is the language of art, and art which has two elements, sound elements and the element of meaning, good sound sense although treated seriously. So, in literature there should be an emphasis of the sound element that is contained intonation and stress. In a sense element includes principal players mind, the way the story and place. The novel is a kind of literary works, novels can provide a view to addressing the artistically imaginative life. This is possible because of the problems discussed in the novel is the question of human beings and humanity. In a novel has many themes and content, including that on social problems which generally occur in the community, including those related to mood and psychosis.
The novel as a form of literary work is expected to bring positive values for the visitors, so they are sensitive to issues related to social life and encourage to behave well. The novel is also an expression of social phenomena in these aspects of life that can be used as a means to know people and his time. As said by Robert Stanton (1965: 44), the novel is a long story. It presents in detail the development of a character or a large complex or a social situation involving many characters or a complicated relationship many years covering events or a complex relationship among a few characters.

This story is played by six friends who come from different regions with distinctive features and their outlook on life. This suggests that not all places to learn the science of religion is backward, not in terms of modern science, or even low-quality graduates.

E. Definition of Key Terms The writer will clarify the terms to avoid mistakes of the title consideration : 1. Education Values Education is knowledge and character resulting from training. Education is from English word, educate means to elicit, to give rise, to develop, to train the mind of character (Manser, 1995:134). According to al-Attas (1991:13), education is a process of installing something into human beings. Values: according to Manser, values (plural form) are principles (Manser, 1995:457). Education values are some principles which that are resulting from process of installing something into human beings. Different with the definition of moral value. According to Hurlock Elizabeth, “moral” comes from the Latin word mores meaning manners, custom and folkways. Moral behavior means behavior in conformity with the moral code of the social group. It
is controlled by moral concept- the rules of behavior to which the members of a culture have become accustomed and which determine the expected behavior patterns of all group members (Hurlock, 1977:386). About the values, every society has values to arrange their life that contains some principles, ideal on standards (Harlock, 1977:386). Halstead convinces that values act as general guides to behavior or action and which are closely connected to personal integrity and personal identity (Halstead, 1996:5). Norm and values usually contains the principles of what is good to follow and what is bad to avoid. Educational values in this graduating paper are specified in moral values. Those educational values are categorized into three ranges; they are citizenship, respect for others, and respect for self. The following examples are intended to guide schools in providing the basis for the teaching of values and characters education in the public schools (Scherenko, 1997). The following examples are: 1. Citizenship, such as democracy, Respect for and Acceptance for Authority, Equality, Freedom of Conscience and Expression, Justice, Liberty, Tolerance, Patriotism, Courage, Honor, Respect for the Natural Environment, Conservation, Respect for the Creator. 2. Respect for other, such as: altruism, Civility and Cheerfulness, Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity, Courtesy and Cooperation, Integrity, Honesty, Truth, Trustworthiness, Fairness and Good Sportsmanship, Patience, Morality. 3. Respect for oneself, such as: Accountability, Commitment, Perseverance and Dilligence, Self-control and Virtue, Frugality, Self-esteem, Knowledge, Moderation, Respect for Physical, Mental and Fiscal Health, Cleanlines, Work
Ethics, Punctuality, Accomplishment, Cooperation, Dependability, Diligence, Pride, Productivity, Creativity, School Pride 2. Novel Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia explains that novel adalah tulisan berupa karangan prosa yang panjang menceritakan sebuah kisah (Fajri, et all; 1978:593). According to it, novel is a writing formed length prose article tells a story we can also say that is an invented prose narative of considerable lenght and a certain complexity that deals in imaginatively with human experience trough a connected sequence of events involving a group of person in a specific setting (Webster:1981:1546). 3. Negeri Lima Menara Negeri Lima Menara is one of Ahmad Fuadi’s novels. It is published in 2009. It is education novel, this novel also describes about education in the boarding school environment.
F. Review of Previous Reseaches This research is library research, so the writer concerns to analyze the education values of “Negeri Lima Menara Novel’s by Ahmad Fuadi ” through library analysis. Among other literary of education values are done by Widiastuti entitled “The Moral Value in Novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih”, she found that study the moral values, someone can find it in literature, for example Habbiburrahman, such us self character building, human relation, religiousity, etc (Widiastuti:2008).
The writer reviews other thesis by Fatkhul Yaqin entitled “Education Values of Jesus Birth In the Holly Quran”. Fatkhul Yaqin tries to find the education values on his history, to understand who is Jesus from the holy Quran (Fathkul Yaqin:2009). The writer also reviews other thesis, The concept of moral education (Abdullah Nashih Ulwan’s Perspective) written by Rindha Asmara. She concludes that: according to Abdullah Nashih Ulwan, moral education is a series of basic principle of moral, the virtue of attitude of moral and the virtue of attitude behaviour; which must be possessed by a person and made into his his on her habit from childhood to adulthood. The examples are loving truth; strength of wish; high ambission; patience; feeling of attention; and instinct of social interaction (Rindha Asmara:2008) Considering that Abdullah Nashih Ulwan comes from middle east country, his view about moral education will be rather difficult to apply in contemporary educational context. This happen because his views always based pure islamic sources.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. The Literary Element of Novel The literary elements of a novel are character and characterization, plot, setting, point of view, styles and themes. They are the following: 1. Character and Characterization Character and characterization are the basic elemants of literary. They are reflect author’s thinking and feeling in his respect, in public as well as in private. So as a reader, we need comprehensiveness to get the pleasures in a novel (Ellen, 1965:583). According to Edward, characterization is the depicting of clear images of a person (Edward, 1968:84). While, Martin states that character is person in play, novel etc (Manser, 1995:63). Character is divided in two parts: the major characters and minor characters. The major characters are the most important figures, men and women in a literary work. The major character is not by itself representing a noble nature because it can also be negative, but because he was the central figure in the story. Meanwhile, minor characters are figures that the properties and behavior characterizations serve to support the main character (Melani, 2002:188).
2. Plot
According to Edward, plot is the “action” of the story. It is sequence of events involving the character and characterization (Edward, 1968:83). In Webster dictionary, plot is the plan or pattern of events or the main story gradual unfolding of casually connected series of motivates accidents (Webster, 1981:1121). An ideal traditional plot line encompasses four level’s, namely exposition, complication, climax or turning point, and resolution. The exposition presents the initial situation and disturbed by a complication or conflict which produces suspenses and eventually leads to climax, crisis, or turning point. The climax is followed by a resolution of the complication and the text usually ends (Harrold, 1971:3). 3. Setting According to Manser, setting is place in which something is fixed (Manser, 1981:377). It reveals where and when of events in a novel. Setting is evidence into two parts, namely setting of place and setting of time. 4. Point of view Point of view is the way an author permits us to observe the story. It aids him in presenting us with those actions, object, and thoughts we need to experience the story. Point of view may be first person, third person, dramatic, and omniscient (Edward, 1968:82). Point of view is an essential element in building a story. The main character’s point of view is the writer’s vision embodiedin the caracter’s view. Therefore, point of view is closely related telling story technique in his novel, the author uses first person or “Aku” as point of view. 5. Style
Style is word choice and its arrangement into sentence, in performing a sequence of paragraph or dialogue. Edward (p-86) states that style is the way in which an author selects, arranges and presents his word. It is his manner of expression. 6. Theme Manser states theme is the point of story, subject of talk, discussion and topic of the entire story that reveals (1995, 429)
B. Description of Education Education is a normative science, because it is based on a choice of good and bad things, especially for children and generally for people (Barnadib, 1982: 15). According to George F. Kneller’s (1967) opinion in the book “Pengantar Ilmu Pendidikan”, education in wide sense is an action or an experience which influences the growth and the development of mind, character, or physical ability (Sumitro, dkk: 17). While based on the decision of the people’s Advisory Assembly number II/MPR/1993 about the General Outlines of the Nation’s Direction, education is a life process for nowadays and a preparation for future life. It goes on for life and is given in family, school, and society. So, family, society, and goverment are responsible for it (Haryanti, 1998: 4). Education can be categorized into three ranges. Those are informal education, formal education, and non-formal education (Haryanti,,
1998: 4).
1. Informal Education Informal education is given in a family. It goes on without organization; that is without educator, program, and evaluation (Haryanti,, 1998: 4).
Children get education from their parent anywhere and anytime, about anything which are needed for their growth and development in life. This education happens if there is communication in a family; in the form of advice, model, suggestion, prohibition, instruction, religious education, moral education, etc (Sukiman, Hartati, dkk: 39). 2. Formal Education Formal education has organization. There are ten features of this education: level of school, teaching-learning program, teaching method, requirement of student’s acceptance, students’ homogeneity, length of period of study, compulsory education, administration, class hours, and uniformity (Haryanti, 1998: 4). Here is the explanation about ten features of education by Haryanti.They are : a. Level of School There are some level’s of school, such as kindergarten (TK), elementary school (SD/MI), junior high school (SMP/MTs), senior high school (SMA/MA), and university. b. Teaching-Learning Program There is teaching-learning program in each level of school.
Curriculum, teaching
material, and class hours are arranged formally. c. Teaching Method There is a teaching method in formal education. d. Requirement of Students’ Acceptance In formal education, students must fulfill the requirement of accptance, graduation certificate, selection test, etc. e. Students’ Homogeneity
such as
Students’ Homogeneity includes requirements of age and background of education. f. Length of Period of Study It needs length of period of study in formal education. For example, it needs 6 years to be graduated from an elementary school, 3 years from junior high school, and 3 years from senior high school.
g. Compulsory Education The goverment requires every child to go to school for his/her progress in the future life. h. Administration Administration of formal education is orderly organized. i. Class Hours In formal education, the time to start, to hold, and to finish the class are ruled formally. j. Uniformity There is uniformity in the implementation of teaching methods, teaching materials, class hours, evaluations, class promotions, examinations, teachers requirements, teachers salaries, students’ acceptances, etc. 3. Non-formal Education Non-formal education is an education activity which is done on purpose, arranged, and planned out of school system, goes on for life; in order to actualize the human potential through teaching-learning process, so they can increase their standart of living, also participate in social activity and society development (Sudjana;1992:1).
There are ten component in non-formal education. Those are participant, instructor, guardian,
curriculum program, medium, place, fee, study community,
evaluation, and administration (Depdikbud, 1987: 3-4). Depdikbud informed those components with its each description. a. Participant Participant in this education is a number of society without limitation of age, who needs a certain education, has willingness and ability to study, and is prepared to finance his/her study. b. Instructor Instructor is a person who has specific skill to be taught to the participants of the study. c. Guardian Guardian is a person who is responsible in organizing the teaching-laerning process. d. Curriculum Program There is also curriculum program in non-formal education. e. Medium Non-formal education needs equipments in its teaching-learning process. f. Place Non-formal education needs equipments in its teaching-learning process. g. Fee Fee include money, goods, and service to hold the activity. h. Study community
In non-formal education, there is a community whose members have willingness to study together. i. Evaluation There is evaluation of the outcome of the study of each participant. j. Administration Administration of non-formal education is orderly organized. 4. Kind of Non-formal Education There are five kinds of this education, that is, Mass Education, Adult Education, Fundamental Education, Society Education, and Extention Education (Sukirman, Hartati, dkk: 39). These are the explanations according to Sukirman, Hartati, dkk’s theory. a. Mass Education Mass education is given to adult people about reading-writing skill and general knowladge for their life progress. b. Adult Education This is an education about daily necessity which is done by the willingness of adult people. c. Fundamental Education This kind of education has been held by UNESCO since 1994 to make progress in social and economic aspects to face the modern era. It is about household skill, moral education, health education, etc. d. Society Education Society education is for the society which is out of school age. It has been done since 1946 to eliminate the illiteracy in the society.
e. Extention Education This education is held by a university to actualize the people willingness to participate in society development.
C. Description of Education Value Values and character education development usually occurs over a number of years and within a number of environment. Since family members are the first individuals with whom one comes into contact the influence of the family continues to be extremely important to a child’s character and values development. This fact is particulary appropriate in the preschools and early school years. As students progress through public schools, it is important that their education provide instructional opportunities, explicit, and implicit that help them develop their beliefs about what is right and good (Scherenko, 1997). As described before, according to George F.Kneller’s (1997) opinion’s in the book “Pengantar Ilmu Pendidikan”, education in wide sense is an action or an experience which influences the growth and the development of mind, character, or phisycal ability (Sumitro, dkk: 17). Education can not be separated from values, which have concepts as ideas, beliefs or understandings one has that guide and are reflected in ones behavior (Scherenko, 1997). Therefore, Scherenko (1997), defined educational values as the processes of providing opportunities for the continuous development, in all students of the knowladge, skills, and attitudes related to certain values which lead to behavior exhibiting those values. According to Scherenko (1997), about kinds of educational values, she listed educational value alphabetically. They are accomplishment, cheerfulness, cooperation, courage, courtesy, creativity, democracy, dependability, dilligence, equality, fairness,
frugality, generosity, honesty, honor, kindness, knowladge, lotality, moderation, patience, patriotism, perseverance, punctuality, respect for authority, respect for others, respect for the creator, respect for the environment, respect for health, school pride, self-control, selfrespect, sportsmanship, trustworthiness, truthfulness, tolerance, and virtue. Those educational values are categorized into three ranges; they are citizenship, respect for others, and respect for self. The following definitions are intended to guide schools in providing the basis for the teaching of values and characters education in the public schools (Scherenko, 1997).
1. Citizenship a. Democracy Democracy is stated as govermant of , by and for the people, exercized through the voting process. b. Respect for and Acceptance for Authority They are the need for and primacy of authority, including the law, in given circumstance. c. Equality It is the right and opportunity to develop one’s potential as a human being. d. Freedom of Conscience and Expression They are defined as the right to hold beliefs, whether religious, ethical or political, and to express one’s views.
e. Justice It simply means equal and impartial treatment under the law. f. Liberty Liberty is freedom from oppression, tyranny or the domination of goverment. g. Tolerance It is describe as the allowable deviation from a standard indulgence for beliefs of practices differing from or conflicting with one’s own. h. Patriotism Patriotism means support of the constitution and love for the nation with zealous guarding of their authority and interest. i. Courage Courage is willingness yo face danger with determination. j. Loyality It is defined as steadfastness or faithfulness to a person, institution, custom or idea to which one is tied by duty, pledge or a promise. k. Honor Honor is a keen sense of athical conducts one’s word given as a guarantee of performance. l. Respect for the Natural Environment It is meant care for and conservation of land, trees, clean air and pure water of all living inhabitants of the earth. m. Conservation Conservation is avoiding waste and pollution of natural resources.
n. Respect for the Creator Our most basic freedoms and right are not granted to us from the goverment but they are intrinsically ours; i.e.,the constitution does not grant us the rights of freedom of speech, it simply recognized that each of us is born with that right. This is to say that the founders of the republic recognized a higher authority, a power greater than themselves that endowed every human being with certain unalienable rights that no goverment or legal documents could ever revoke or take away. If we are to respect life, the natural rights of all people and the authority of the founders, then there must be a respect for the Creator from which all rights flow. This can be as an acknowladgement that the intrinsic worth of every individual derives from no goverment, person or group of persons, but is something that each of us is born with and which nothing and no one can ever deprive us of. 2. Respect for Other Respect for other is mean that respectful attitude or behavior toward others, helps to other and well able to receive the shortcoming of other. Here, the writer explain about the kind of respect for other. There are: a. Altruism Altruism is concern for and motivation to act for the welfare of others. b. Civility and Cheerfulness They are courtesy and politeness in action or speech. c. Compassion, Kindness, and Generosity They are concern for suffering or distress of others and response to and needs.

Alif mother’s asked to go to school to the cabin instead of the high school in Bukittinggi. His mother is not willing to keep high school. Since the Alif’s mother force him to study in religious schools, three days he locked himself in his room.
Once in the afternoon Alif’s mother put a letter under the door of his room. From Pak Etek Gindo, Alif uncle’s who studied in Egypt. Pak Etek as if he knew the problems of Alif, he also suggested to go to school in Pondok Madani, located in East Java. Without careful consideration, finally Alif decided to accept the proposal from Pak Etek Gindo and attend school in Pondok Madani (PM) of East Java. The sudden decision that is makes the parents happy and confused. Happy because Alif took his mother's request to continue the school to the Pesantren choice, Alif confused because so far its place. Finally with a heavy heart, Alif parents grant his wish. Together with his friend who will sign up to PM school. They are Dulmajid from Madura and Raja Lubis from Medan, Alif went Pondok Madani from the terminal Ponorogo, formerly Alif and his father had traveled from Maninjau for three days. Raja is a candidate for PM students from last year due to late register two days, he was not accepted and he had to wait for the next opportunity. This means that the PM does not tolerate the mistake. While waiting for the new school year, he spent a year studying at a pesantren which not so far from the PM. The first day in class after taking an entrance exam and passed, Alif receive a powerful magic spell "Man Jadda Wajada, who meant it would be successful." Ustadz Salman is the guardian of their classes, class 1A. It was he who taught man jadda wajada to all students. On the first day we met all members of the class 1A, beside to Dulmajid and Raja no one person who Alif known. After introductions, Alif know the name of a friend who sat
beside him, a tall boy with short, erect with thick glasses adorn his nose. His name Atang, from Bandung, Sundanese original. The most gigantic creatures in our class is Said Jufri from Surabaya. His arm was black by the muscles is hard and covered with long hair and curly. He was the fifth descendant of Arab merchants who had settled in and Ampel, Surabaya. Nose and cheek bones like Arabic face. Because he's largest and most mature among them, they chose him as chairman of the class. A child with short hair and dark skin introduced himself. "I’m Baso Gowa Salahuddin from North Sulawesi, the reason I went to school in the PM is to want to explore the religion of Islam and became Hafids, memorize the Quran." He said introducing himself. In the evening after introduction, they follow the recitation with Kiai Rais Akbar, he was the leader of the pesantren and also Kiai as a role model for the students in PM. After that followed by readings Qanun in their rooms. Qanun is an unwritten rule, but all students must abide PM. Because if it does not obey, the court is ready to summon the discipline and punish them. Since the Qanun was read, all the rules should not be violated. But without the deliberate Alif, Baso, Dulmajid, King, Said and Atang break it ,like five minutes late to the mosque because they were busy buying school and dormitory purposes. As a punishment they dijewer place and commissioned into jasus or a spy who must record every violation visible. It can see from this quotation: "Tolong hukuman ini diterima dengan ikhlas sebagai bagian dari pendidikan” kata kakak yang menghukum kami. Tampang kakak yang menghukum mereka sangarnya mirip Tyson petinju dunia, maka kami sepakat memanggilnya kaka Tyson ,tentu
tanpa sepengetahuan dia dan jasus kami berenam dipersatukan Allah dalam ikatan persahabatan(Fuadi: 2009:74.)
As word of the wise, the suffering troubled their friendship becomes adhesive. They often get together and learn together, if they are tired of discussing the possibility of learning to be free from the snares of security surveillance. Therefore they are looking for a nice place to discuss, and then they find the base of the tower PM hidden from the security target. Because they often gathered at the foot of the tower Alif and his friend give the name Sahibul Menara, people who have a tower. They are happy with that title. Said even create a password for each person. Said is the first tower, Raja is the second tower, Alif is the third tower, Atang is the fourth, Dulmajid is the fifth towers and Baso sixth towers. In the PM they were given the freedom to work, they participated calligraphy, music, karate, qoriah, hafidz Al-Quran, journalists and others. For sports are also given the freedom to choose the sports they like, such as soccer, badminton, table tennis and so on. Alif love to play soccer.

Dulmajid prefer badminton group with a chaplain supervisor Supervision Office. Atang, Raja, and Said choose their own sport, just Baso who do not want to join a football club. He prefers to go jogging while memorizing the Koran. Unlike the Alif imagine at home, turned out to PM more fun with more attention and care for progression all student. Every time is learning, even the punishment given category also includes learning. And yet, Alif intend to study in Bukit Tinggi high school.
When enjoying the afternoon sun under the minarets PM, their imaginations often hover like clouds. Alif often interpret the clouds race the as land surrounded by Columbus 500 years ago the American continent, while the Raja insisted on seeing the Continent and disagree with the opinion of the Alif’s idea, Baso and Atang agreed that the existing cloud above their heads is a form of Asia and Africa, it is influenced by the civilizations of Egypt and the Middle East that makes them crazy. Unlike the four, Dulmajid and Said and more amenable if the cloud was shaped like the State of Indonesia. When the fifth grade they ready to be given the mandate to lead, each of them was assigned as the organization's PM-wheel drive. Said a burly and good at karate became The Magnificent Seven or The Security Center like Tyson who punished them when they was in first grade. Raja who proficient in English language became the central driving of language centre as well as Baso because he is fluent in Arabic, They responsibilities of the student in PM. Alif and Dulmajid was appointed as editor of the magazine for writing talent, while Atang was the appointed as an arts center council with his talent that stands out in the field of theater. They are happy with this responsibility, because they believe in this organization will provide the experience and lessons as well as education that are useful up to a year ahead. After one year with the task, they have to hand over to the younger classes, with class six closed grand show then ended their tenure. Alif and friends feel happy at the end of the study except Baso, it turns out the secret of him that had wanted to memorize the Koran by rote is to devote to his parents who had died. "So my parents put by God in heaven," as the reason, since childhood Baso raised by his grandmother, but now her grandmother was ill and could not get out of bed. Sound premises strengthened reinforced Baso said goodbye that he wanted to quit school in the PM and will go to school near his home, teaching and caring
for his grandmother who was ill. They very sad to hear about it, even Atang and the Raja cried when Baso go. Although very sad, they could not hinder his decision because this is a matter between Baso with Allah Swt. Graduated PM, they continued to University. And, until one day, Alif, Atang and Raja met in London on the occasion of the inter-faith world. Raja had a year living in London with his wife Fatia. Atang living in Cairo while continuing doctoral science of Hadith. He came to London to be a speaker at a seminar on Malay Muslim in Arab country.

15) Ustadz Faris Ustad Faris is teachers of the Qur'an and Hadith. He comes from Borneo. He is pure white skin, short black hair and stood up and her eyes were narrow. He had studied the science of hadith and the Qur'an in Madinah University, and back to the Pondok Madani with PhD. Mata pelajaran Al-Quaran dan Hadist juga dibawakan dengan amat menarik oleh Ustad Faris yang berasal dari Kalimantan. Sekilas, ustad berusia 40 tahun ini mirip dengan tauke barang elektronik dipasar atas bukittinggi. Kulitnya putih bersih, rambut hitam pendek berdiri, sementara matanya sipit. Yang, berbeda ustad ini tidak pernah lepas dari kopiah dan sehelai surban kecil. Di usia muda dia telah merantau ke madinah. University dan kembali ke PM dengan gelar adDuktur (Fuadi, 2010:112) Subjects of Al-Quaran and Hadith also holding with great interest by Ustad Faris from Kalimantan.

16) Ustadz Badil Ustadz Badil mahfuzat is teachers. This lesson contains the quote quotes taken from various books and the heritage of Islam and Islamic civilization. Pelajaran yang aku suka tapi selalu berkeringat dingin menghadapinya adalah mahfuzhat yang diajar seorang ustad kurus tinggi bernama Ustad Badil. Bagiku, pelajaran ini mengasikkan karena berisi kutipan kata mutiara yang bergizi tinggi dari berbagai buku dan khazanah islam dan peradaban arab (Fuadi, 2010:116). The lesson that I like but it's always cold sweats is mahfuzhat being taught a tall thin cleric named Ustad Badil. For me, the lesson is exciting because it contains quotations quotes from a variety of nutritious foods and treasures of Islamic books and civilization Arab.
17) Ustadz Karim Ustadz Karim is an English teacher at Pondok Madani. He is Alif’s favorite teacher. He always appeared clean-shaven and sympathetic. Tapi dari semua pelajaran, bahasa inggris adalah favoritku. Guru kami, ustad kharim, yang tinggi semampai selalu tampil kelimis dan simpatik (Fuadi, 2010:117). But all of the lessons, English is my favorite. Our teacher, ustad kharim, a tall, slim and always sympathetic.

Characterization is the most important in story and in the process of creating characters. Characterization can involve developing a variety of aspects of character, such as appearance, age, gender, intelligence, social status, religious, beliefs, ambition, motivation, etc. (L.potter, James, 3, 1967). Based on the analysis of Negeri Lima Menara novel, the characterizations of Ahmad Fuadi’s work, it can be concluded that as the major characters and minor character. Alif Fikri, he is the main character, he likes writing and photography, he has high motivation to finished his study in Pondok Madani, although actually he always loss his spirit.

a. Exposition Negeri Lima Menara in the novel begins with a description of Alif Fikri residence when he was in abroad and where he worked. Then the next stages, in describing the emails sent by Atang friend (who was in Egypt), then make Alif Fikri memories return to the past when he studied at Pondok Madani. It can be seen in the following quotation: Washington DC, Desember 2003, jam 16.00 Iseng saja aku mendekat jendela kaca dan menyentuh permukaannya dengan ujung telunjuk kananku. Hawa dingin segera menjalari wajah dan lengan kananku. Dari balik kerai tipis dilantai empat ini , salju tampak turun menggumpal-gumpal seperti kapas yang dituang dari langit. Ketukan-ketukan halus terdengar setiap gumpal salju menyentuh kaca didepanku. Matahari sore menggantung condong ke barat berbentuk piring putih susu.
Tidak jauh, tampak the Capitol, gedung parlemen Amerika serikat yang anggun putih gading, bergaya klasik dengan tonggak-tonggak besar. Kubah raksasanya berundak-undak semakin memutih ditaburi salju,bagai mengenakan kopiah haji.(Fuadi:2010:1)
(Just for fun, I’m approached the window and touch the glass surface with my finger, immediately the cold through my face and my right arm. From fourfloor, the snow looked down clot-like clumps of cotton poured from the sky. A knock sounded smooth glass touch every glob of snow in front of me. The sun hung leaning to the west shaped milky white plate. Not far away, it appears the Capitol, United States parliament building elegant ivory white, classic style with big milestones. Giant dome-steps staircase sprinkled the white snow, like wearing a skullcap pilgrimage).
b. Conflict Stage appearance of a conflict in the novel is seen as Amak (Alif’s Mother) asked Alif to continue his study into the religion school. Alif initially did not want to, but in the end with a half-hearted decision Alif received a request parents to attend school on religious lines. But Alif select school in Pondok Madani located in East Java. Then Alif’s parents had to approve the request Alif. ”Pokoknya Amak tidak rela waang masuk SMA ”(Fuadi, 2010:9). (Amak not satisfied if you sign up to high school) Tidak jelas dalam pikiranku, seperti apa Pondok Madani itu. Walau begitu, akhirnya aku putuskan nasibku dengan setengah hati. Amak kalau Ambo ingin masuk pondok saja di Jawa. Tidak mau di Bukittinggi atau Padang” kataku dari mulut pintu (Fuadi:2010:12).
(I have no idea, what is Pondok Madani ?. Even so, finally I decided my fate, with a half-hearted. “Mother, I want to go to Java. I do not want to stay in Padang or Bukit Tinggi” I said from the mouth of the door).
”Kalau itu memang maumu, kami lepas waang dengan berat hati” (Fuadi:2010:13). (If that's indeed what you want, we take you with heavy heart).
The conflict is also described as Alif studying in boarding schools along with five companions. The highest conflict in this novel is the homecoming of Baso to Pondok Madani, which causes the Alif soul hesitate to continue his study at the Pondok Madani and want to get out of the Pondok Madani.
Baso memecah kesunyian yang tidak mengenakkan hati. ”Yang sekarang merisaukan hatiku, keluarga satu-satuku, nenekku sendiri, yang aku anggap seperti bapak dan ibuku, sekarang sedang sakit tua. Dia tidak punya anak lagi,orang terdekatnya adalah aku”. ”Aku sedang berpikir-pikir kapan aku harus mengambil keputusan untuk merawat nenek dan pulang, mungkin selamanya..” Pulang ? Kenapa ia menyebut pulang selamanya. Aku pernah berpikir pulang hanya karena surat Randai. Dia ingin pulang karena ingin berbakti kepada neneknya. Hatiku tidak enak dan malu sendiri (Fuadi, 2010:362)
(Baso broke the uncomfortable silence of the heart. "I’m worried, the only family, and my own grandmother, who is like my father and mother, now sickness. She does not have any more children, the closest is me ". "I still thinking, when I should take the decision to take care of grandma and go home, perhaps forever ..." Home? Why did he call home forever? I want to go home just because the letter of Randai. He wanted to go home because he wanted to devote to his grandmother. I am shy to hear it).
Malam itu sebelum aku tidur, ditemani lampu teplok, aku menulis sepucuk surat kepada Amak dan Ayah. Kali ini aku menyampaikan perasaanku apa adanya. Iya benar, aku pernah berjanji akan menyelesaikan sekolahku di Pondok Madani, tapi perang batin ku terus berkecamuk. Dan perang ini sekarang dimenangkan oleh keinginan Drop out dari Pondok Madani. Kalau terus di Pondok Madani, aku tidak akan bisa melanjutkan sekolah ke jalur umum dengan mulus (Fuadi 2010:370).
(Night before I sleep, accompanied by a kerosene lamp, I wrote a letter to my Mom and Dad. This is my time to convey my feelings. Yeah right, I've promised to finish my school in Pondok Madani, but my mind kept raging war. And this war is now won by the desire Drop out from the Pondok

This stage is described by Alif spirit in following the final exam to pass the examination and the meeting of three friends under Nelson's columns in Trafalgar Square, London. Setelah kedatangan Ayah yang menjanjikan ujian persamaan SMA, aku menjadi sangat bersemangat menghabiskan bulan-bulan terakhirku di Pondok Madani. Tak terkecuali menyambut malam bersejarah ini (Fuadi , 2010:378). (After the arrival of Father promising high school equivalency test, I became very excited to spend my last months at Pondok Madani. Includes welcome this historic night). Mataku nanar mengikuti jari yang mencoba mencari-cari namaku di papan pengumuman. Dan itu dia. Namaku Alif Fikri dan disebelahnya tertulis nun, jim dan ha. Artinya LULUS. Alhamdulilah, seperti banyak teman lainnya, aku segera sujud syukur di aula, berterima kasih kepada Allah untuk kelulusan ini. Ternyata para Sahibul menara lulus semua. Kami berpelukpelukan penuh syukur. Tidak sia-sia aku meregang otot kerja kerasku sampai pada daya lenting tertinggi (Fuadi, 2010:395). (My eyes glazed follow the finger trying to searching for my name on the bulletin board. And there it was. My name is Alif Fikri, and written in nun, jim and ha. It means PASS. Alhamdulilah. Like many other friends, I immediately bowed gratefully in the hall, thanking to God for this graduation. The Sahibul towers pass all. We gratefully cuddle. Not in vain, I stretch the muscle until my hard work at the highest resilience) “Pertemuan bersejarah, ditempat bersejarah ,di jantung kota Alhamdulilah ” katanya.

Aku menunjuk kelangit sambil bergumam. ” Ternyata ini dia Nelson column yang disebut-sebut di buku reading kita aktu kelas tiga dulu. Lebih besar dan lebih tinggi dari yang aku bayangkan” Atang dan Raja ikut menengadah. Menatap Admiral Nelson yang tegak kukuh dengan pedang ditangan kiri dan gundukan tambang kapal dibelakangnya.
Bayangannya jatuh di badan kami. Beberapa gumpalan awan tersisa dilangit yang semakin sore. Sebuah menara dan sebuah senja! Suasana pemandangan yang terasa sangat lekat di hatiku. Belasan tahun lalu, disamping menara masjid Pondok Madani, kami kerrap menengadah ke langit menjelang sore , berebut menceritakan impian-impian gila kami yang setinggi langit Arab Saudi, Mesir, Eropa, Amerika dan Indonesia. Aku tergetar mengingat segala kebetulan-kebetulan ajaib ini (Fuadi, 2010:402)
(“It is historical meeting, in historical place, in the heart town of London! Alhamdulilah "he said. I pointed to the sky and muttering. "Apparently it is Nelson's column mentioned in our reading books on third grade. Larger and taller than I had imagined”. Atang and Raja look up. Saw the Admiral Nelson stared straight sword firmly with the left hand and a mound behind the ship mines. Its shadow falls on our bodies. Some clouds in the sky remain an increasingly afternoon. A tower and twilight! Atmosphere and scene, that feels very familiar in my heart. A year ago, in side of minarets in Pondok Madani, we often look to the sky in the afternoon, scrambling to tell our crazy dreams, are sky high as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Europe, America and Indonesia. I was thrilled to remember all these magical coincidences). 3. Settings Setting is divided into two parts, namely the setting of place and setting of time. There are: a.

Ketika duduk di SD, guruku menyuruh kami sekelas mengibarkan bendera merah putih dari kertas minyak di pinggir jalan kampungku. Balasan kibasan benderaku adalah lambaian, tangan yang menyembul dari jendela mobil hitam setengah terbuka. Ingin aku jabat tangan itu, tapi mobilnya terlalu cepat berlalu. Yang punya tangan adalah Presiden Soeharto yang datang meresmikan PLTA Maninjau tahun 1983 (Fuadi, 2010: 43) (In the past, actually I almost shake the hands of a Java people. When at the elementary school, my teacher told our class to wave red and white flag from waxed paper on the roadside village.

Ketukan-ketukan halus terdengar setiap gumpal salju menyentuh kaca didepanku. Matahari sore menggantung condong ke barat berbentuk piring putih susu.
Tidak jauh, tampak the Capitol, gedung parlemen Amerika serikat yang anggun putih gading, bergaya klasik dengan tonggak-tonggak besar. Kubah raksasanya berundak-undak semakin memutih ditaburi salju,bagai mengenakan kopiah haji (Fuadi, 2010:1).
(Just for fun, I’m approached the window and touch the glass surface with my finger, immediately the cold through my face and my right arm. From fourfloor, the snow looked down clot-like clumps of cotton poured from the sky. A knock sounded smooth glass touch every glob of snow in front of me. The sun hung leaning to the west shaped milky white plate).
Not far away, it appears the Capitol, United States parliament building elegant ivory white, classic style with big milestones. Giant dome-steps staircase sprinkled the white snow, like wearing a skullcap pilgrimage).
4. Point of view In this novel, the author uses the first point of view because the novel uses the word "Aku" to tell the story. The following example shows will of the author in using the first point
of
view; ”Aku baca suratnya sekali lagi. Senang membaca surat dari kawan lama. Tapi aku juga iri. Rencana masuk SMA-nya juga rencanaku dulu. Aku menghela napas dan menatap kosong kepuncak pohon kelapa. Aku tidak boleh terlambat lagi. Aku kapok jadi jasus. Aku jera menjadi drakula (Fuadi, 2010:102-103).
(I read his letter again. It’s very nice to read a letter from an old friend. But I also envy. Her high school entrance plans are also my plans first. I sighed and stared at the empty summit of coconut trees. I should not be late again. I learned my lesson so jasus. I'm wary to be a vampire ").
5. Style Style of used in this novel the author is very inspiring. From each of the words we feel the strength of the underlying worldview rise of the spirit to achieve self-esteem, achievement and self dignity. It can be seen in the following quotation: ”Dulu kami melukis langit dan membebaskan imajinasi itu lepas membumbung tinggi. Aku melihat awan yang seperti benua Amerika, Raja bersikeras awan yang sama berbentuk Eropa, sementara Atang sangat percaya bahwa awan itu berbentuk Afrika. Baso malah melihat semua ini dalam konteks Asia, sedang Said dan Dulmajid awan itu berbentuk peta negara kesatuan Indonesia. Dulu kami tidak takut bermimpi. Meski juga kami tidak tahu bagaimana merealisasikannya. Tapi lihat hari ini, setelah kami mengerahkan segala ikhtiar dan menggenapkan dengan doa, Tuhan mengirim benua impian kepelukan kami masing-masing. Kun fayakun, maka semula awan impian, kini hidup yang nyata.” (Fuadi, 2010:405). ("We used to paint the sky and release it off the imagination soar. I saw a cloud like the American continent, the Raja insisted on the same cloud-shaped Europe, while Atang strongly believe that the cloud was shaped like Africa. Baso instead see all of this in the context of Asia, are being said and Dulmajid, cloud-shaped map of the unitary state of Indonesia. We are not afraid to dream. Although we also do not know how to make it happens. But look today, after we exert all efforts and to fulfill the prayer, God sent a dream continent for us. Kun fayakun, the beginning is just cloud of dreams, now it is real life").
6. Theme The theme of the novel Negeri 5 Menara by Ahmad Fuadi is education. It can be seen from the background of the pesantren where the main activity carried out daily main character is learning. This can be proven through a novel excerpt follows: ”Bagai sebuah konspirasi besar untuk mencuci otak, metode total immersion ini cocok dengan lingkungan yang sangat mendukung. Tidak cukup dengan itu, entah siapa yang menyuruh, banyak diantara kami yang membawa kamus. Kalau bukan kamus cetak, kami pasti membawa buku mufradhat, buku tulis biasa yang dipotong kecil sehingga lebih tipis dan gampang dibawa kemana-mana. Murid
dengan buku mufradhat ditangan gampang ditemukan sedang antri mandi, antri makan, berjalan, bahkan di antara kegiatan olahraga sekalipun.”( hal. 133-135 ).
"As a great conspiracy to brainwash, total immersion method is suitable with a very supportive environment. Not enough with that, whoever is command, many of us who carry a dictionary. If it was not printed dictionary, we must bring mufradhat books, notebooks or small notes so more easily to bring everywhere. Students with mufradhat books in their hand easily to find in shower, in the queue, queuing up to eat, walk, even among sports events though ". B. Educational Values in the Novel Negeri Lima Menara In the article of Scerenko (1997) defined educational value as the processes of providing opportunities for the continuous development, in all student of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes certain values related to which leads to behavior exhibiting those values. The novel Negeri Lima Menara has some educational values. They are: accomplishment, affection, courage, honesty, Morality, altruism, patience, knowledge, punctuality, cooperation, and diligence, freedom of conscience and expression, and respect for creators. Here is the analysis of educational values in Ahmad's novel Negeri Lima Menara; 1. Accomplishment Accomplishment means appreciation for completing a task. It also means a thing achieved, skill in an activity, or a social skill that can be learnt (Scherenco, 2007). It is shown by the achievements and the skills which some characters have in the novel. From the statement below, it can be known that Alif Fikri had accomplishment as a good writer. He also often be winner in writing competition. Here is the statement:
“Untuk kegiatan luar kelas aku memilih bergabung dengan majalah kampus karena aku sangat tertarik belajar menulis dan memotret. Urusan tulis menulis ini, sebelumnya beberapa kali aku menjadi finalis lomba menulis di PM” ( Fuadi, 2010. 159).
(“For outside activities of class I chose to join the campus magazine because I'm very interested learn in writing and take pictures. In writing, I ever became a finalist in writing competition who held in PM”). 2. Affection Violet Winspear defined affection as the act of love (Falk, Kathryn, 1982: 22). In this novel, affection is represented in this paragraph: Kasih sayang amak tak terperikan kepadaku dan adik-adik. Walau sibuk mengoreksi tugas kelasnya, beliau selalu menyediakan waktu, membacakan buku, mendengarkan celoteh kami dan menemani belajar. ( Fuadi, 2010:11) (Mother loves to me and my younger sister so much. Although very busy to correcting her class assignment, she always make time, reading books for us, listening to our chatter and accompany us in learning). 3. Courage Courage is willingness to face danger with determination (Scherenco: 1997). Dulu kita tak takut bermimpi, walau sejujurnya juga tidak tahu bagaimana merealisasikannya. Tapi lihatlah hari ini. Setelah kami mengerahkan segala ikhtiar dan menggenapkan dengan doa, Tuhan mengirim benua impian ke pelukan masing-masing (Fuadi, 2010:405)
(First we are not afraid to dream, though honestly do not know how to make it happen. But look at today. After we exert every effort and to fulfill the prayer, God sent the dream of the continent into the arms of each).
4. Morality Morality refers to the concept of human ethic which pertains to matters of good and evil (Scherenco: 1997). ”Dengan ini kami sempurnakan amanah orang tua kalian untuk mendidik kalian dengan sebaik-baiknya.Berkaryalah di masyarakat dengan sebaik-baiknya. Ingat di kening kalian sekarang ada stempel PM. Junjunglah stempel ini. Jadilah rahmat bagi alam semesta.Carilah jalan ilmu dan jalan amal ke setiap sudut dunia. Ingatlah nasihat Imam Syafii: Orang yang berilmu dan beradap tidak akan diam di kampung halaman. Tinggalkanlah negerimu dan merantaulah ke negeri orang. Selamat jalan anak-anakku” ucap kiai Rais dalam nasehat terakhirnya (Fuadi, 2010:396).
(“With mandate your parents, we perfected to educate you for be the best. In order to useful in society as well as possible. Remember in your forehead right now there is a seal AM. Raise this stamp. Be a blessing for the natural sciences. Looking for! the street of knowledge and charity roads in every corner of the world's. Remember the advice of Imam Syafii: People who are knowledgeable and civilized will not stand in his hometown. Leave your country and go abroad. Goodbye my children,” said Kiai Rais in his last advice).
“Amak ingin anak laki-lakiku menjadi seorang pemimpin agama yang hebat dengan pengetahuan yang luas seperti buya Hamka, melakukan Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar, mengajak orang kepada kebaikan dan meninggalkan kemungkaran”, kata Amak pelan pelan.” (“Amak want my son to become a great religious leader with extensive knowledge as Buya Hamka, do Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar, inviting people to goodness and leave munkar ", said Amak softly).
5. Altruism Altruism is concern for and motivation to act for the welfare of others. Teman sekamarku berteriak girang, dan mereka segera merubung dengan piring kosong terulur arahku. Satu potong rendang buat satu orang. Sudah tradisi kami, siapapun yang menerima rezeki paket dari rumah, maka ia harus berbagi dengan kami semua sebagai lauk tambahan di dapur umum nanti. Sama rasa sama rata, seperti gaya sosialis (Fuadi, 2010:270). (My roommate was screaming, and they were immediately surrounded by empty plate outstretched toward me. One piece of rendang for one man. It is our tradition, anyone who receives food packages from home, then he must share with us all as an extra dish in the kitchen later. Same taste equally, as the socialist style). 6. Patience Patience is not being hasty or impetuous. “Man shabara zhafira. Siapa yang bersabar akan beruntung. Jangan risaukan penderitaan hari ini, jalani saja dan lihatlah apa yang akan terjadi didepan . Karena yang kita tuju bukan sekarang, tapi ada yang lebih besar dan prinsipil, yaitu menjadi manusia yang telah menemukan misinya dalam hidup”.. (Fuadi: 2010:1060). (Man shabara zhafira. Who will be lucky must be patient? Do not feel the suffering of today, just do it and see what will happen in front. Because we're not now, but there is a larger and principal, be a man who has found his mission in life "). 7. Knowledge Knowledge is means learning, understanding, and awareness. … “PM membebaskan kami menerima majalah dari luar negeri, karena ini bagian dari proyek mendalami bahasa Arab dan Inggris “(Fuadi, 2010;72).
(…”PM frees to us to receive magazine from abroad, because this part of the project to mastered in Arabic and English”).
8. Punctuality It is being on time for attendance and tasks. “Teng… teng..teng…teng … Suara Lonceng besar didepan gedung pertemuan bergema lebih jauh. Belum lagi gaung nya padam, semua penjuru sepi senyap, tidak ada orang satu pun. Kami berpandang-pandangan dengan kalut. Kalau mengikuti qanun yang dibacakan tadi malam, lonceng 4 kali di jam 5 artinya tanda semua aktivitas harus berhenti dan semua murid sudah harus ada dimasjid dengan pakaian rapi dan bersarung ”(Fuadi, 2010: 64). (“Teng... teng.. teng.. teng ... ... The sound of the bell in front of the hall reverberated further. The echo not yet calmed, all over the deserted silent, no people anymore. We looked at each other frantically. If we follow qanun which was read last night, the bell four times at 5 o'clock means the sign must stop all activity and all students should already in mosque neatly dressed and gloved”).
9. Cooperation Cooperation is working with others for mutual benefits. Misbah kawanku dari Kalimantan membuka lemarinya dan mengeluarkan sekaleng susu kental manis cap nona. Kurdi menuangkan susu kental manis ini sebagai sentuhan terakhir untuk sajian kopinya ” Silahkan akhi, siap dinikmati” ,katanya puas sambil meletakkan ember kopi yang mengepul-ngepul ini ditengah kamar, tepat ditengah kami yang duduk melingkar (Fuadi, 2010:273).
(Misbah, my friend from Borneo open his cupboard and pulled out a can of sweetened Cap Nona condensed milk. Kurdi pour sweetened condensed milk as a final touch to a dish of coffee "Please akhi, ready to be enjoyed", he said, while he put the bucket of steaming coffee in the middle of this room, right in the middle we are sitting in a circle).
10. Diligence It is stated as attentiveness, persistence and perseverance.
Pondok Madani diberkati oleh energi yang membuat kami sangat menikmati belajar dan selalu ingin belajar berbagai macam ilmu. Lingkungannya membuat orang yang tidak belajar menjadi aneh. Belajar keras adalah gaya hidup yang fun, hebat dan selalu di kagum. Karena itu, cukup sulit untuk menjadi pemalas di PM (Fuadi,2010:264).
( Pondok Madani blessed by the energy that makes us really enjoy learning and always wanted to study a various of sciences. The environment makes people who do not learn to be weird. Studying hard is fun lifestyle, fabulous and always in amazed. Therefore, it is difficult to become lazy in the PM”. “Maksudku, kalau kita berusaha sedikit saja lebih baik dari orang kebanyakan, maka kita jadi juara. Ingat, filosofi nya sedikit saja lebih baik dari orang lain. Itu artinya perbedaan, seper sekian detik, satu ruas jari tadi. Kita bisa dan kita mampu jadi juara kalau mau !”kata Said (Fuadi, 2010:384).
(“I mean, if we try just a little better than most people, then we are become champions. Remember, his philosophy, a little better than others. That means the difference, a trillionth of a second, earlier one knuckle. We can and we are able to become champion if you want! “said Said).
11. Freedom of conscience and expression ..Aktifitas bebas. Digunakan untuk pengembangan minat dan bakat baik di bidang olahraga, kesenian, bahasa dll. (Fuadi, 2010:146). (..Activities are free. Used for the development of both interest and talent in sports, arts, languages etc.). 12. Hard work People can improve their ability when they want to hard work. Kita perlu bertekad lebih banyak dari orang kebanyakan. Kalau umumnya orang belajar pagi, siang dan malam, maka aku akan menambah dengan bangun lagi dini hari untuk mengurangi ketinggalan dan menutupi kelemahanku dalam hapalan. Di atas semua itu, ketika semua usaha telah kita sempurnakan ,kita
berdoa khusyuk kepada Allah dan hanya setelah usaha dan doa inilah kita bertawakal menyerahkan semuanya kepada Allah (Fuadi, 2010:384). (We need more committed than the average person. If most people learn in the morning, noon and night, then I will add a wake up early morning to reduce lag and cover weaknesses in memorizing. Beside that, when all our efforts have been perfected, we pray fervently to God and only after efforts and prayers that we trust, surrender everything to God).
13. Friendship Friendship is a relationship between two people or more. Seperti kata orang bijak, penderitaan bersamalah yang menjadi semen dari pertemanan yang lekat. Sejak menjadi jasus keamanan pusat, aku, Raja, Said, Dulmajid, Atang dan Baso lebih sering berkumpul dan belajar bersama. Kalau lelah belajar, kami membahas kemungkinan untuk bebas dari jerat keamanan pusat (Fuadi, 2010: 92). (As a wise man said, suffering with our friend is the cement of friendship is hard. Since becoming a jasus central security; Aku, Raja, Said, Dulmajid, Atang and Baso more often together and learn together. If we are tired of learning, we discussed the possibility of freedom from the snare center security). Di bawah bayangan menara ini kami lewatkan waktu untuk bercerita tentang impian-impian kami, membahas pelajaran tadi siang, ditemani kacang sukro. Bagaikan menara, cita-cita kami tinggi menjulang. Kami ingin sampai dipuncakpuncak mimpi kelak (Fuadi, 2007:94). (Under the shadow of this tower we spent the time to talk about our dreams, discuss lessons this afternoon, accompanied by sukro beans. Like the tower, our ideals of our high-rise. We want to reach the tops of the dream later).
14. Respect for creator If we are respect life, there must be a respect for the Creator or God (Scherenco: 1997).
Aku akan menerapkan praktek berprasangka baik bahwa doaku akan dikabulkan. Tapi berdoa saja rasanya kurang cukup. Aku mencanangkan untuk menambah ibadah dengan shalat sunat Tahajjud setiap jam dua pagi (Fuadi, 2010:195) (I will implement good practice prejudiced, that my prayer will be granted. But it does not pray enough. I proclaimed to do ritual prayers Tahajjud every morning at two o'clock). Kita perbanyak juga ibadah, karena ilmu yang sedang kita pelajari itu kan nur. Cahaya. Dan nur itu hanya bisa ada ditempat yang bersih dan terang (Fuadi,2010:382). (We also multiply the worship; because we are studying the science is a Nur or Light. And the nur can come when the place is clean and bright).
