Abstract :
This article focuses on the awe of God and targets it as the main key and valid and fundamental criterion of ethical science, scientist, and university. Therefore, identifying related critical research was aimed to provide theoretical foundations with content analysis, synthesis, and interpretation. Through the available reliable databases, valuable articles focusing on the awe of God have been searched and identified through the snowball/chain approach. The awe of God or God-belief and God-respect as a fundamental and crucial concept is submitting, bowing, and reverencing attributed to the greatness of God, as well as self-effacement, humility, and modesty resulting from the right and true knowledge. The factor of realization of the awe of God is wisdom in belief and action, which is assumed as ethical science and a prerequisite for the ethical scientist and university that, with their coordinates and characteristics, offer a broad vision and will serve the happiness of humanity. Thus, the ethical science, scientist, and university will be awe-inspiring, cultivating, guiding, responsible, pragmatic, responsive, holistic, specialized, beneficial, transcendental, confident, original, and integrated with the faith as understanding the meaning of the world.
