Abstract
Islam in society nowadays has evolved over a very long lime, especially as the span of time between the messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, becomes more distant. This religion which reaches the disciples' heart faces many, various considerations. One o f these considerations which is mostly accepted by the society is secularity towards the religion. Religion is considered to be the other side o f a person's life, which is not supposed to be involved in societal matters. Hoioever, at the same time, a phenomenon of back to syariah (Islamic law) becomes apparent in Moslem society. A proportion o f Islamic disciples rediscover a connection and realise its jwtential in ruling human life. I he Koran becomes a solution in confronting this life. It affects not only common people's thoughts but also artists in creating artworks. Vie late Ahmad Sadali was a Moslem artist who realized this potential in his life. He tried to identify himself as idil albab, a human being exemplified by his Cod, as written in the Holy Book in which he believed. This factor, eventually, differentiates his personality as well as the artworks he produced from his fellow artists and their oion works. Keywords: Ahmad Sadali, Islamic identity, The Koran, verse
