Abstract

Discipline is beauty, Whether in the individual, family or society. Islam is a
universal religion that has taught discipline in every field. Therefore, Muslim
thinkers have come up with an idea in this regard, one of which is Ibn Sina. Ibn
Sina believes that the system of the world requires wisdom, good governance,
political insight, and prudent orders. To maintain the system and make human
life ordered, tranquil, and fruitful. Good management is the unit that brings
about positive changes in the human lifestyle, which saves time and money from
being wasted. , So that he can do all his affairs on time. With good personal
management, a person with a plan to carry out his individual and collective tasks
day and night is always booming—the guarantee of security. Good governance
is a name of politics. Without this, no society can survive. Ibn Sina's view is that
discipline must first begin with oneself. After reforming himself, he will
consider the good manners and reforms of the family and, last but not least, try
to guide the city and the region. In this context, if we look at the cause of our
inner turmoil, it will be apparent that today we are concerned about the
betterment of others While we do not worry about self-improvement. Thus we
are concerned with the reform of the family before our reform and strive for
society's reform and discipline before the family's reform. That is why we fail in
the discipline and good manners of society. Ibn Sina focuses on this and describes the stages of the excellent order of organization he researched in this
research paper.
