inventor of this process called introspection, but has existed since the time
of Socrates Contributions Wundt is incorporate this method into a scientific
experiment into new fields in psychology at the time.
On the other hand the word Introspection

The process of getting
better is a process in which we already know to be a mistake and want to
correct it and will never repeat it.
Usefulness of

honest to make proper introspection. And after the start of a new life and
then correct the error, thinking forward with everything that is good. Then

introspection. Methods to overcome the lust of power over the hearts ammara one
is always introspected
b. Understand the personal
weaknesses. Introspection begins with humility. Realizing that we are
not immune from mistakes or errors. Arrogant people do not want to do a
self-evaluation because it always felt right. As a result, there is no
personal growth, because just being to blame others, circumstances or even God. Understanding
the critical point means having a cautious attitude and anticipation. The
ability to keep yourself and be aware of the situation prior to the things that
are fatal.

the initial steps that should be done, how to plan and the ability or the
resources that we have.
b. when you're doing
something. Introspection is needed to prevent already further if there was
a mistake. Things that need to be evaluated is the method and manner,
assumptions and views, knowledge and expertise are used. Critical point
and the anticipation process improvement measures if necessary.
c. after doing
something. Experience is always the best teacher. Self-examination is
useful for corrective action or recovery if there is some mistake. Or be
learning so that later we do not repeat the same mistakes.
e. Methods to overcome the
lust of power ammara on a person's heart is always
introspected. Imam Ahmad narrates, 'Umar bin Khattahab said,
"reckoning yourself before rendering an account! Weigh yourself
before you are weighed! Indeed introspection for you today is lighter than
the reckoning in the future. Similarly, the 'aradl (sightings
deeds) are great. "
Hasan al-Basri said, "A believer is a
leader for himself. He introspect himself as God. Indeed reckoning on
the Day of Judgment will be a light for those who have to hold it in the
world. And conversely reckoning will be hard for people who take these matters
without ever introspection. A believer it could have been startled by
something and it amazed him. Then he said, 'By God, I really want
you. Likewise, you are part of my need. But God does not give a
reason for me to reach you. OI, there is a chasm between you and me!
' So something was gone before him. Then the believer will go back to
him and said, 'I do not want this! What do I care at all! By Allah I
will not repeat it forever! 'Those who believe are those supported by the
Qur'an. Qur'an hinder its destruction. A believer is a prisoner in
the world who seek to free themselves (to the country: the Hereafter). He
did not feel safe to encounter God. He knows that hearing, vision, oral,
and limbs, all of them will be held accountable. "
