INTEGRATION OF ISLAM AND SCIENCE ACCORDING TO ISMAIL RAJI AL-FARUQI

Abstract

The problems that occur today revolve around the problem that modern science is filled with secular elements that separate themselves from theological or religious values. The implication is that many Muslim scholars who study modern science actually have a secular, materialistic and antagonistic attitude towards religious sciences. On the other hand, Muslim scholars who have graduated from Salaf education tend to have an exclusive conservative attitude and are antagonistic towards modern sciences which are actually very necessary. It is clear that modern science has had a negative impact, namely the development of Western ideas within Muslims which has resulted in the separation of science and religion. Ismail Raji Al Faruqi has the concept of the idea of reviewing classical Islamic science and modern science from Western understanding. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The aim of this research is to find out Ismail Raji Al Faruqi's perspective on the Islamization of knowledge. This research focuses more on library research, namely research that focuses on collecting library data. Another definition of Library Research research is research that uses library facilities such as books, newspapers, magazines, documents and other records to obtain information and data. The results of this research show that Ismail Raji Al Faruqi focuses on revolution, restructuring, and Islamizing modern science.
