Legal Literacy - Universally, the rules or norms that exist in society are: (1) religious rules/norms; (2) moral rules/norms; (3) etiquette rules/norms; and (4) legal rules/norms.
Religious Rules/Norms
Based on the theory, religious rules are divided into two, namely revealed religion (samawi, sama’i, sky) and cultural religion. Revealed religion is a teaching from God that contains commands, prohibitions, and permissions conveyed to mankind in the form of revelations through angels and His Messengers. Meanwhile, cultural religion is a teaching produced by human thoughts and feelings cumulatively.
Religious rules are guidelines for human life to move towards a better and correct direction. Religious rules regulate human obligations to God. Sanctions for violations of religious rules come from God, both sanctions received directly in the world and in the afterlife.
Examples of religious rules: do not approach adultery, do not kill a soul that Allah has forbidden to kill, honor your parents, do not worship other than the One God, and others.
Moral Rules/Norms
Moral rules are rules of life that come from the human conscience that determines which actions are good and which actions are not good. The origin of moral rules comes from humans themselves. Moral rules encourage people to do good, they do good or bad because of the whisper of their conscience (conscience"). The rules of morality are aimed at the inner attitude of humans. Sanctions for violations of moral rules also come from within the human being, such as feelings of regret, shame, fear, guilt, and so on. Examples of moral rules: honest behavior, respecting and helping each other, and others.
