Integrasi Islam Dan Sains

Abstract

This article discusses the concept of the integration of Islam and science as a scientific paradigm that rejects the dichotomy between religious knowledge and modern scientific knowledge. The separation of these two fields has often led to the assumption that religion is concerned only with spiritual matters, while science focuses solely on empirical and rational aspects. From an Islamic perspective, however, all knowledge originates from Allah SWT and serves the common purpose of understanding His creation and promoting human welfare. Therefore, Islam and science should not be viewed as contradictory entities but as complementary and mutually supportive sources of knowledge. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research by examining various sources, including the Qur'an, Hadith, books, and scientific journals related to the integration of Islam and science. The findings reveal that the integration of Islam and science can be implemented through the development of knowledge based on the values of tawhid (Islamic monotheism), ethics, and moral responsibility. This integration encourages a more comprehensive understanding of reality by combining revelation as the source of absolute truth with reason and observation as tools for acquiring empirical knowledge. Furthermore, the integration of Islam and science contributes to the development of holistic education, character building among students, and the advancement of civilization that balances material progress with spiritual values. In conclusion, the integration of Islam and science offers a solution to the challenges arising from the separation of knowledge. This paradigm emphasizes that religion and science can coexist harmoniously in shaping individuals and societies that are faithful, knowledgeable, ethical, and socially responsible.
