When I was still a student like that, I also felt disappointed and even angered if the lecturer knew me cheating. But it was when I was a beginner as a student which still have not been able to control my ego well.
Illegal absent or cheat is deceptive activities. Messenger of Allah said: "And those who deceive us, then he is not belonged to us" (HR.Muslim). In the context of illegal absent and cheat, which deceived is a lecturer and other students. And of course the culprit also get the loss, and How can it be like that? 1. related to sin; 2. can become a bad habit.
Then, "O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. "(Al-Maidah: 2). Naudzubillahimindzalik.
Thank God, I did not illegal absent and cheat again, I even reported people like that. Yes of course there is tremendous pressure on the environment. Some said "it's my business, it is up to illegal absent or not, is up to cheat or not. No need to intervene. It is not your business, take care of your own business. Do not like being a hero! On the other campuses there is nothing like it". And "Is the attendance list will be taken to the hereafter? Is the value to be taken to the hereafter? ". Nah! If attendance is not so important for those who are cheating, then why do they bother illegal absent / cheat in terms of attendance? Values in the lecture would not be brought to the hereafter, but why do they bother to justify any means to get good grades? The purpose of my life was the hereafter. My basic report them cuz: 1. My goal is; 2. Nation and my beloved country; 3. Trying to participate to change habits that need to be changed; 4. People who do not cheat.
Illegal absent or cheat it is also affairs of others in their environment. Their friends are honest being the victim for their actions. There were diligent and not cheat when exams and lectures, but there are opposite on the other side. Seem unfair when out value/grades, there is through the laborious process with diligence and honesty, but on one side there is instant. It is not a pure value that comes out but rather the opposite. And can not reflect the superior student and vice versa.
Solidarity so that must pass together as one generation? I wonder where the value of kindness if solidarity in this way (cheating).
It is a mistake though on the basis of friendship. Misperception.
I think friendship is not as cheap as it is, not as low as it is.
In my opinion, the way to love a friend is not like that. But Let your friend do something without cheat, but if he/she's trying to cheat or have already done so it would not hurt for you to give counsel or scold and even report his/her actions. It is also for the good of one another. There is respect for people who are honest.
I think there is no problem to do so, I think there is no problem to warn or advise people who cheat, most importantly there is no malice. Humans certainly have an error and therefore if there is another human being who knows the act is wrong, so it's good to help them not make that mistake again.
Allah says: "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided". (Q.S. An-Nahl / 16: 125).
Together for not cheating is also one of great respect to colleagues or friends. Also, changing bad habits into good.
In addition, if the generation like me who take the focus of public administration studies, there are discussion groups that discuss or debate about corruption, political situation, nor is social. Openly says pro anti-corruption, criticized the politicians who engage in corruption but in practice some of them (students) even commit fraud in the lecture. It's the opposite.
Why not be the generation that total anti-corruption, became a senior who give good example to the juniors. They are who Seniors are also very important in this regard, as well as lecturers. They need to give a good example, be a good example. In the words of Mr. Anies Baswedan, "Good people uprooted not only because of the bad people, but because of the many good people are silent and indifferent". So do not be silent or even allow people to commit fraud/cheat!
Illegal absent/cheat are also contrary to Article 1 (1) of Law Number 20 Year 2003 on National Education System, which reads:
"Education means conscious and well-planned effort in creating a learning environment and learning process so that learners will be able to develop their full potential for acquiring spiritual and religious strengths, develop self-control, personality, intelligence, morals and noble character and skills that one needs for him/herself, for the community, for the nation, and for the State".
Honestly, I felt something wrong when the third semester in Social and Political, I felt there were lessons from a mistake when registration. When the new admissions, to be honest at that time I wanted to choose a Business Administration. But yeaaaa tired and made me unfocused, so I chose Public Administration. Yeah but when undergoing lecture, I felt I need to change something of myself, for example: first I was very indifferent to politics because the news disgusted so many politicians are corrupt, but after studying Public Administration, I understood why politics is so important in human life. Inside of the politics there are sensitive, fair, transparent, honest, and courage.
I think there needs to be a mental revolution for the people in this country, as well as a good habit (no compromise against fraud/cheat). People in this country need to implement anti-corruption practices not only in the environment like me (Faculty of Social and Political Sciences) but also in the other environment, not only when entering into the world of work but also when formal and non-formal. It's time to work together to grow the seeds of anti-corruption! This country needs people who are not only smart or intelligent, not only need people who are willing to work hard, but also honest, brave and sincere!
