Abstract
The problem facing Muslims today is the problem of science, that modern science is no longer value-free (neutral), because it is influenced by religious, cultural and philosophical views. Therefore, Muslims need to Islamize contemporary science by Islamizing linguistic symbols about reality and truth. Meanwhile, in Muhaimin's view "Islamization means to Islamize or purify the science of non-Muslim (western) products. Al-Attas comprehensively conveyed the idea of the Islamization of science through several concepts. Al-Attas's conception starts from the definition of education. Education according to al-Attas is "something which is gradually implanted into humans" this is based on humans as "rational animals" (الحيوان الناطق), because of the determinant rationality of humans, that rational meaning refers to reason. Furthermore, Al-Attas said, education is "seeding and planting manners in a person - this is called ta'dib. Al-Attas then discussed the purpose of education, that the main educational goal was to prepare students to be able to achieve optimal happiness through the achievement of social and economic life success, far more successful than ever achieved by both their parents. In other words education is a tool for socio-economic mobility. The second educational goal emphasizes increasing intellectual, wealth, and mental balance of students. Al-Attas also has a metaphysical and epistemological view. Regarding the metaphysical view, Al-Attas said that there are three sources and methods in Islam, namely: first, the senses of birth and mind, second reason and intuition, and third, authority. While modern western science or science limits its scope only to things that are sensory (sensible / mahsusat) or what can be known by someone, according to western scientists is everything as long as it can be observed sensually. with the liberation of human reason from doubt (syakk), prejudice (zhann), and empty argumentation (mira '), towards the attainment of belief (belief), and truth (haqq) regarding spiritual realities, reasoning, and materialities.
