This paper aims to analyze man’s self-devotion from the perspective of humanity senses, as illustrated in a novel, Mereka yang Tertewas (Those Who Fall) by Hasanuddin Md Isa. It is a belief that the effects of senses are such important concerns as the senses of humanity would lead to the values of humanity. Based on the previous studies, the effect of sense as the major indicators is still lacking while it is the ones that may initiate one’s personality. Therefore, there is a need for a further study as yet no study has been done on the aspects on humanity senses on man’s self-devotion in selected novels. The study would evolve around Lebai Pa, an imam (a holy man) who is good in Islamic knowledges and personality when delivering the Islamic knowledge to his community. In line with this, the study would scrutinize the Humanity Senses Model by (Othman, 2012). The approach encompasses three main principles namely the principle of devotion to Allah s.w.t, the principle of polite speeches, and the principle of semantic subtlety. There are two objectives outlined in this study which is to analyze the self-devotion of Lebai Pa through the sense of fear and to relate the sense of fear and the values of Islamic in the novel studied. This study later finds out that Lebai Pa has a sense of devotion to Allah by highlighting the sense of fear that is seen through the belief in Allah, the belief in the Prophet, the belief in the Quran, the belief in angels, the belief in the hereafter life, and the belief in qada’ and qadar. Thus, in his effort to deliver the Islamic knowledge (da’wah), Lebai Pa as the protagonist of the novel portrays good and favourable characterictics of a caliph and a servant of God. Therefore, it can be concluded that Lebai Pa possesses the principle of devotion to Allah s.w.t through the senses of fear as being outlined in the Humanity Senses Model by Shamsudin Othman.
