Abstract
The present research was aimed at describing the dichotomous attitude of Muslim medieval ulama toward the development of religious and non-religious sciences. Based on a library study on the thought of Imam al-Ghazali in his Ihya’ ‘ulum al-din , as well as the thought of al-Zarnuji in his Ta’lim almuta’allim , it was found that both ulama did not stcrikly differentiate the two sciences. Al-Ghazali saw the relation of the two sciences not in “conflict” but “independent” one each other, while al-Zarnuji devided the sciences based on their possitive aspects for Muslims’ religious life. Al-Zarnuji did not classify sciences as religious and non-religious. Kata Kunci: Dikotomi, Pemikiran Al-Ghazali, Al-Zarnuji
Highlights
Islam menempatkan ilmu dan agama dalam relasi yang harmonis; ilmu tumbuh dan berkembang berjalan seiring dengan agama

Summary
Islam menempatkan ilmu dan agama dalam relasi yang harmonis; ilmu tumbuh dan berkembang berjalan seiring dengan agama. Pengajaran akhlak dan tasawuf hingga sekarang.[5] Hal ini menarik sebab konteks penyususnan kedua kitab tersebut adalah pada masa akhir periode kemajuan dan awal periode kemunduran Islam yang ditandai dengan sikap dikhotomis para ulama terhadap pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan.
