ISLAM DAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN : REKOGNISI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI BARAT ABAD KLASIK

Abstract

The development of education in the world is inseparable from the contributions of Islam, which has played a significant role in it. Consequently, Islam holds a legitimate position in terms of the quality of education, which should be acknowledged publicly as a marker that these contributions must be academically recognized. The contributions of Islamic education to the world can be seen from the scientific heritage of the medieval period when Europe and the Middle East were engaged in debates over reason. The presence of Islamic education had an impact on the process of classifying knowledge into rational ('aqliah) and transmitted ('naqliah) sciences. This classification led to the emergence of branches of rational sciences, including medicine, mathematics, sciences (physics, astronomy, and chemistry), and sosial sciences (economics, geography, and psychology). In the field of medicine, Abdullah Al-Hasan Bin Al Bin Sina, commonly known as Ibn Sina, emerged with his book "Al-Qanun fi at-Tibb." In the field of mathematics, Muhammad Bin Musa Al-Khwarizmi made significant contributions to algebra, trigonometry, algorithms, and the invention of the number zero, and authored the book "Mukhtasar fi Hisab Al-Jabr Wa’l Muqabala." In addition to his expertise in mathematics, he also had a deep understanding of astronomy, as reflected in his work "as-Sindhind." In the field of technology, Abu Al-Izz Ibn Ismail Ibn Razaz Al-Jazari.
