The presidential election in Indonesia is an important moment for citizens, including Christians, who cannot escape the influence and spiritual direction of pastors.

In the early stage, children tend to rely on the influence of adults, such as parents and teachers, to understand the concepts of right and wrong. They often strictly follow rules and avoid moral violations. In contrast, in the later stage, the moral development of children becomes more complex. They start to develop a deeper understanding of morality based on the values and principles they have learned throughout their lives. Children in this stage can consider the moral consequences of their actions and develop autonomy in making moral decisions. A better understanding of the moral development of children can help adults, such as parents and educators, support the healthy moral development of their children throughout the early and late stages of their lives.  Set a good example: Children tend to imitate the behavior of adults around them. Therefore, it is important for parents and adults around children to set good examples in behavior, attitudes and communication. Teach moral values: Teach children about moral values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, empathy, mutual help, patience, etc. Discuss these values ​​with them and provide concrete examples of how these values ​​are applied in everyday life.

Meritokrasi sebagai sistem penempatan di dalam suatu jabatan pemerintahan atau pun pekerjaan berdasar kepantasan dan kelayakan, secara implisit tidak lepas disinggung dalam Al-Qur`an. Hal ini dapat diamati misalnya, dalam surat Yusuf: 55 tentang jabatan bendahara negara yang diajukan oleh Yusuf as. kepada Raja Mesir, juga dalam surat Al-Qashash: 26 tentang pengajuan Musa as. untuk bekerja kepada Syu’aib as., juga dalam Al-Baqarah: 247 tentang pengangkatan Thalut sebagai raja. Dari ketiga ayat tersebut, semua penempatan itu berdasar pada kelayakan, Yusuf as. yang diungkap sebagai “hafîdzun ‘alîm”, Musa as. yang diungkap dengan “al-qawiyyul-amîn”, dan Thaluth yang diungkap dengan “basthatan fil-‘ilm wal-jism”. Pengungkapan ketiganya dengan kompetensi masing-masing menjadi petunjuk Al-Qur`an untuk memperhatikan penempatan suatu posisi kepada orang yang tepat untuk mendapatkannya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif melalui studi kepustakaan, dengan pendekatan tafsir tematik (tafsir maudlu’î) tentang ayat-ayat Al-Qur`an yang mengandung pesan meritokrasi seperti, Al-Baqarah: 30-31, 247, Yusuf: 55, An-Nur: 55, dan Al-Qashash: 26, juga kata yang semakna dengan meritokrasi, seperti kata ahlun, dalam An-Nisa`: 58, An-Nahl: 43, dan Al-Anbiya`: 7. Dari ayat-ayat yang diteliti dapat teridentifikasi, bahwa di antara standar sistem merit dalam Al-Qur`an, antara lain: 1) kapabilitas, yang teridentifikasi dari pengetahuan dan pengalaman; 2) profesionalisme, yang teridentifikasi dari sikap yang bertanggung jawab; 3) moralitas, yang teridentifikasi dari karakter yang amanah; 4) kerja keras, yang teridentifikasi dari kekuatan.
