Exploring Interdisciplinary Approaches to Teaching Islam and Science: Strategies, Innovations and Best Practices

Islam and science are two fields that have been traditionally viewed as incompatible, but there has been an increasing interest in exploring their intersection in recent years. Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science have emerged as a way to bridge the gap between these two fields and encourage critical thinking. This paper aims to explore interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science, including strategies, innovations, and best practices. The paper call the need for interdisciplinary approaches. It then examines different interdisciplinary approaches, such as integrating Islamic perspectives into science education and using science to explain Islamic concepts. One of the key strategies for teaching Islam and science is to provide a historical and cultural context for students. This can help students understand the development of science in Islamic civilization and how it relates to contemporary scientific advancements. Additionally, providing an Islamic perspective on scientific concepts can help students understand their compatibility. Another important approach is to use experiential learning methods such as field trips and lab experiments to help students understand the practical application of scientific concepts in the real world. This can be combined with traditional Islamic learning methods such as memorization and recitation to create a more holistic approach to teaching Islam and science. Innovative approaches such as the use of digital tools and social media can also be effective in engaging students and promoting dialogue. While, social media can be used to share scientific advancements in Islamic countries and highlight the contributions of Muslim scientists. Overall, interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science are essential for promoting critical thinking, dialogue, and a better understanding of the compatibility between these two fields. The strategies, finally, the paper can serve as a guide for educators looking to develop interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science in their classrooms.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF ISLAMIC SCIENTIST IN CIVILIZATION (The Scientific Framework In Unity of Sciences Paradigm)

Abstract:This paper discusses the contribution of Muslim scientists in developing civilization. This is analyzed using the lens of the unity of science paradigm. A scientist must have critical analysis, research, and make various efforts for the development of Islamic science in globalization. Through this method, the chosen strategy is to develop scientific integration that can be taken for the development of knowledge that has been unable to dialogue with religion. Paying attention to inter-scientific relations without sacrificing autonomy between each scientific discipline and paying attention to the religious dimension of the Indonesian nation. This paper is expected to contribute to developing theoretical frameworks and practical strategies in the development of science in Indonesia.Keywords: Paradigm, Islamic Scholar, Islam and Civilization

The Amalgamation of Traditional and Contemporary Elements in Islamic Education

<em>This study uses Prophet Muhammad's integrated paradigm of Islamic intellectual heritage, which formed the epistemic foundation of the Medinah civilization. If Muslim scientists believed that expertise in one scientific field required proficiency in others or encyclopedic knowledge, polymath scientists have been replaced by highly specialized scientists who ignore these broader scientific regions. Contemporary Islamic scientific references, as a result, lack hybridity. Western knowledge typically trumps Islamic wisdom in scientific credibility. This study, thus, collected and analyzed data using qualitative methodologies and library resources. This study focuses on exploratory qualitative data from the perspectives of various scholars on the "Integration of Knowledge," aiming to reformulate an integration between traditional and contemporary knowledge that is adaptive in Indonesia’s education. Many epistemology studies have concentrated on Islamic literature and ignored Western knowledge. Unlike modern Eurocentrism, certain scientific integration studies value all information sources equally.</em>

Science Teaching in Islamic Civilization: an Analysis of Ibn Khaldun's Muqaddimah

Islamic civilization has contributed significantly to the advancement of world science. This statement is revealed from the many Muslim scientists who contributed significantly to various scientific discoveries in every field, which inspired European scientists. In addition, the science developed also has its uniqueness and Islamic characteristics. The number of Muslim scientists and the development of science in the Islamic world raises a question of how science teaching is done in the Islamic world and what kind of science is taught. This research aims to reveal the uniqueness of science teaching applied in the history of Islamic civilization by analyzing the book Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun. This research is descriptive qualitative research with a literature review approach. The results found that the uniqueness of science teaching in Islamic civilization is centered on faith in Allah, not denying and involving the role of God in science teaching. The method applied in teaching science is done in stages (at-tadrij), repeating lessons (at-takrir) and developing them with experience and experimentation (at-tajribi). The science teaching strategy applied is establishing an authoritative teacher, understanding the learner's thinking and readiness, emphasizing teaching based on objectives, and simplifying instruction.

Rationalism in Islam and its Role in the Development of Science in Muslim Civilization

Today, within the framework of the Islamic religion, one can often find statements that the problem of faith and reason is opposed, and priority in their interplay is given only to faith. This conclusion is supported by the phenomena of conservatism and bare populism, which are widespread in the vast majority of Muslim countries today, calling for a return to the values and traditions of medieval society. In the history of Science and philosophy, medieval Islamic philosophy and science have a particularly great place in the spiritual search of mankind on the path of truth and, due to their depth and consistency, have also had a great influence on subsequent philosophical (European) searches. However, the dominance of a europocentric approach in the history of philosophy and science reduced this issue, considering medieval Muslim thinkers only as commentators of ancient Greek philosophy and science. The article discusses the relationship between reason and faith in medieval Muslim civilization, the role of rationalism in the development of religious and scientific knowledge. In addition, the historical, social and political factors that contributed to the formation and development of scientific traditions in Islam are analyzed, and the contribution and place of Muslim scientists in the development of universal science is evaluated.

HUMAN CIVILIZATION BETWEEN REVELATION AND REASON

Human civilization can be said to be a civilization that departs from a combination of revelation and reason which is marked by the birth of various knowledge initiated by Muslim scientists. This study aims to explain that the civilization that has been achieved by humans today in various fields, such as medicine, astronomy, chemistry, politics, and economics, is the result of the ability of the human mind to explore the content of knowledge contained in divine revelation in the Qur'an. so as to produce a high civilization. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods and content analysis techniques. The results of the research show that the role of reason in exploring knowledge contained in divine revelation is very visible so as to produce high civilizations, especially in the fields of medicine, astronomy, chemistry, politics and economics. The implication of the research is that divine revelation contained in the Qur'an and hadith cannot be separated as a source of modern human civilization today so that returning to divine revelation in building civilization is an absolute.

Pendidikan Karakter sebagai Pendidikan Otak perspektif Kajian Neurosains Spiritual

Character education should encourage students to understand behavior based on knowledge (cognitive), appreciate religious values in behavior (affective), and lead to the realization of religious values in the practice of life based on divine values (spiritual). Islamic education has for many years focused on studying Aql (the human mind) so that very little mentions the problem of the brain as neuroscience and has not fully studied it. The teachings of Islam appear to be doctrinally pedagogical and empirically irrational. So that many Muslim scientists are less interested in discussing the brain because their understanding of the human mind is limited and has weaknesses. The state, represented by the Ministry of Education, formulates 4 character values which are used as a reference for the application of character to students in schools, namely honesty (sourced from the heart), intelligence (starting from thinking), toughness (starting from sports) and caring (referring to the sense and intention). Developing all values is certainly not an easy thing, so it is necessary to prioritize instilling values in students according to their level of understanding not only cognitively but more towards spiritual values. The author uses library research, by collecting data to explain the solution to a problem which is principally guided by critical analysis and is rooted in related and appropriate literature. This research shows the results that if a person uses the brain properly and naturally in thinking, then he is able to exude good character so that spiritual values are encompassed in his daily life leading to an increase in faith and piety to his God because he is more diligent and devoted in worship.

Pengaruh Penerapan Media Pembelajaran Mind Map Terhadap Daya Ingat Siswa Pada Materi Ski Kelas VIII di MTSN 3 Pasaman

Abstract. The background of this research is the students' low memory for class VIII SKI material at MTsN 3 Pasaman, which the researchers can see from the low UTS scores and the way students learn during the SKI learning process. In learning the teacher still uses the lecture method so that students tend to feel bored and not focus on following the learning process. One effort that is thought to be able to overcome this is by applying mind maps to the SKI subject for class VIII students at MTsN 3 Pasaman. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there was an effect of applying mind maps to students' memory in class VIII SKI material at MTsN 3 Pasaman. This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative research with a true experimental research design. The population in this study were all students of class VIII at MTsN 3 Pasaman. Sampling was done randomly or Random Sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 68 students. Students of class VIII 3 as the experimental class and students of class VIII 6 as the control class. The instrument used by the researcher was the results of the students' SKI posttest in the form of multiple choice of 25 questions with the material on the Intellectual Glory of Muslim and Ulama Sciences during the Abbasid Daulah period. The results showed that the proportion of mastery of the experimental class students was higher than the proportion of mastery of the control class students. In the experimental class, the number of students who completed there were 27 people with a proportion of 79% and those who did not complete were 7 people with a proportion of 21% of the number of students in the experimental class, namely 34 students. Whereas in the control class, 1 person completed with a proportion of 3% and students did not complete 33 students with a proportion of 97% of 34 students. so that there is a 35.5% effect of applying the mind map on students' memory in grade VIII SKI material at MTsN 3 Pasaman. From the results of the hypothesis test tcount = 8.762 and ttable 1.6909. Because tcount > ttable means that H0 is rejected at the significant level α = 0.05. From these results it can be written reject H0 and accept H1, meaning that there is an influence of the application of the mind map media on students' memory on the intellectual triumph of Muslim scientists and scholars during the Abbasid dynasty in class VIII MTsN 3 Pasaman.

Science, Methods in Science, and Contributions of Muslim Scientists to the Development of Science: Analysis of Nidhal Guessoum's Thought

This study aims to find out how information literacy which is part of library science becomes an ability to understand the integration between science and Islam and its implementation in life. This type of research is descriptive with literature review data sources. Meanwhile, this literature review was carried out in four stages consisting of: (a) focusing on the problem to be studied; (b) connecting literature with problems in a balanced way; (c) include clear research statements based on the methodology in the literature; and (d) critically analyze and evaluate the literature reviewed based on the research discussion. Based on the results of a study of religion and science in a book by Nidhal Goesseoum, it shows that Nidhal Guessoum chose at least 4 Muslim scientists to be the main characters, namely Seyyed Hoessin Nasr, Ziauddin Sardar, Abdussalam and al Faruqi, who classify each other as dialectics in chapters 3 and 4 Considering that the philosophy and theoretical foundations as well as the formulas used by science are sourced from the Qur'an and Hadith, it is concluded that science is not contrary to Islam

Islamic Economic Thought Abu Yusuf, Al-Ghazali, Asy-Syatibi (Comparative Study of Relations, Comparison and Relevance with Modern Islamic Economics)

Abu Yusuf, Al-Ghazali and Asy-Syathibi are muslim scientists who have put a lot of their thoughts into the economic field such as in the field of public finance, the role of the government in the movement of the country's economy and the theory of maqashid sharia in order to realize the welfare of the ummah. In the economic field, the three figures direct their thoughts in making policies that can provide solutions, support, encourage and create prosperity for the state and its citizens. This study aims to explain the relationship of thought between figures, relationships and relevance in the Indonesian economy at this time. This research belongs to the type of qualitative research and data collection methods through library research (library research). The results of this study indicate that the thoughts of previous economic leaders are still very much in line with today's modern economic realities, including in the aspects of public finance, the role of the state in the economy and the implementation of maqashid syariah.

Fifth, Demonstration of amtsilati.

The Concept of Liberation in the Qur'an as Practiced in the History of Islamic Education

This study intends to elucidate on the concept of liberation in the Qur'an through the Prophet Muhammad's educational process. This study employs a library research methodology. The analysis results indicate that the first verse of the Koran revealed was an instruction to read. He was pivotal to the development of science. The Prophet Muhammad was sent to a society that was replete with ignorance. By means of the Qur'an, the Prophet transformed and emancipated primordial humans into a sophisticated civilization. The Prophet Muhammad transformed and emancipated all aspects of human existence, including faith, worship, education, social and community culture. Muhammad's accomplishment was inextricable from a number of challenges and obstacles. The spirit of change and liberation was then transmitted from generation to generation to family and friends until the golden period of Islam in the Middle Ages. During this time, Muslim scientists who successfully acquired knowledge by studying the Koran were born.

The Medicinal Use of Cannabis Documented by Muslim Scientists

Clinical studies have demonstrated many therapeutic benefits of cannabis, which has been used for medicinal purposes for over 6000 years. Despite its curative properties and therapeutic advantages, Muslim-majority countries impose strict regulations due to the stigma attached to cannabis use as a medicine associated with its use as a medicine. The majority of Muslim nations forbid the use of cannabis for either recreational or therapeutic purposes and impose punishments such as imprisonment or death sentences. However, history shows that cannabis was used as a medicine in the past by Muslim scientists. Therefore, this article intends to examine the practice of Muslim scientists in using cannabis for medicinal purposes. In achieving the objective, the researchers use a qualitative method by analysing previous literature using content analysis. Findings showed that cannabis is used as a medicine for various types of illness by Muslim scientists. It is important to note that a review of pertinent scientific materials provides support for the traditional use of medical cannabis practised by Muslim medical professionals. Hopefully, this article will enlighten readers' knowledge on this topic, especially among Muslims, to correct any misconceptions and misapprehensions surrounding cannabis. It is suggested that Muslim countries embark on more research on cannabis' therapeutic benefits.

Konsep Pendidikan Integratif

In the literature of Islamic scientific studies it is difficult to find differences and separation between religious knowledge and general science. Both must be studied because they need each other in building society. History records that Islam has experienced the glory of a high civilization of science with various competences in scientific disciplines and figures for centuries. This phenomenon occurred because at that time there was no dichotomy between religion and general science. Many of the works and findings of integrative education figures were transferred to other nations by way of scientific recognition. This phenomenon took place because the separation of the two sciences had taken place. There is an expression that what is obligatory to learn is only religious knowledge, while it is not obligatory for general knowledge. The reason for this is, among other things, the rapid development of knowledge, even in one scientific discipline giving rise to new knowledge. On the other hand, especially the Islamic leaders were so happy with the glittering life of the palace. Other facts emerge that many understand leaving the world, focusing on the afterlife. This opportunity is used by the western world which incidentally is not happy to see the glory of Islam. They took over the glory of Islamic knowledge in an unsatisfied way, they even admitted that the appropriation was their product. It is urgent for Muslim scientists to restore the glory of civilization to the glory of civilization of Islamic knowledge because it has been dormant for decades. All scientific movements that carry integrative education must start from Islamic Higher Education which is tasked with producing Muslim scholars who have strong faith and imtaq through the implementation of integrative education in the middle of Islamic campuses. The combination of curriculum based on the combination of general knowledge and religion. In fact, many have changed from institutes to universities, such as the State Islamic Religious Institute to become an Islamic University. This university policy is a concrete step in implementing integrative education at the higher education level as a form of participation by the academic community in the community.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF MUSLIM SCIENTISTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN SCIENCE

This paper presents a discussion of the contribution of Muslim scientists to the development of modern science. It is commonly known that during the golden age of Islam, scientists emerged who were very competent in their respective fields. They succeeded in appearing as philosophers and scientists who filled various scientific fields, such as medicine, mathematics, chemistry, physics and so on. Their knowledge is very valuable, especially for the development of science in the following times. So valuable is science and what it offers, that it is not uncommon for scientists who came later to call them the fathers of science in their respective fields. However, not all of them will be discussed in this paper, but only the triumvirate of Muslim scientists, namely Ibn Rushd, Ibn al-Haytham, and Jabir ibn Hayyan. The contributions of the three were enormous to the development of modern science and are recognized by scientists, both in the East and especially in the West.

ANALISIS KRITIS PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK BAGI PESERTA DIDIK (Bangun Rancang Pemikiran Hamka)

This article discusses a critical analysis of moral education for students (Prof. Dr.Hamka thinking design). Education today is experiencing a lot of moral decadence and a loss of social values which are marked by promiscuity, drinking, brawls, drugs, and many more things that come out of morality. This is part of deviant behavior among adolescents, youth and society. Furthermore, Hamka, an Indonesian scientist and intellectual figure, Prof. Dr. Hamka. As it is understood that character plays a very important role in shaping a person's attitude and behavior, both as an individual, society and nation, in order to achieve life goals in accordance with the right guidance. Character development becomes urgent, in the midst of developing attitudes and behaviors that conflict with values (norms), both religious and cultural values (norms). This research is library research (Library Research) where the data is obtained from reading and collecting books related to research, such as primary data and secondary data. After getting the data, then the data is processed using the reading method at the symbolic stage, namely reading that is not carried out thoroughly but captures the contents of the data, reading at the semantic level, namely reading in detail, decomposing, and capturing the essence of the data. Then these data were analyzed using the Verstehen, Holistic, and Interpretation methods. Character development based on monotheism values, both textually sourced from the Qur'an and al-Hadith as well as originating from the thoughts of Islamic scientists, such as Hamka reconstructing these thoughts and concepts aims to prepare humans, especially new Muslim scientists who always have an Islamic commitment, as guidelines for the right management of life

MUSLIM & MODERN INVENTORS OF THE CAMERA IN THE HISTORY OF PHYSICS

Camera technology can help support human activities, especially in the digital era. The first Muslim scientist who invented the camera was Ibn al-Haitham, where the mechanism of the way of capturing images is currently also used and applied to become a sophisticated camera with high quality and resolution. This research aims to discover how Muslim scientists' role in discovering camera technology and modern scientists' role in ancient times until this camera technology supports the historical development of physics, especially in optics. This historical research uses secondary data sources through literature. The study's results using the interpretation of data obtained from various references obtained from various relevant references indicate that the invention of the camera was initiated by Muslim scientist Ibn Al Haitham who later modern scientists also improved and developed theory. The application of camera optics to create camera technology that is helpful for life and human activities.

Moderate Islam in Yusuf Qardhawi's Perspective

In today's contemporary era, we often witness the appearance of a fierce, anarchist face of Islam that instigates various forms of social violence. Whereas the portrait of Islam presented by radical circles is not absolute and the only correct Islamic construction. This is because the religious construction that they present socially to the wider community in their rigid, intolerant, and sometimes anarchic form is only one of the results of their reading of the fundamental Islamic doctrines: the Qur'an and the Sunnah which are multi interpretative. It is at this point that presenting a reading of Islam with a moderate style becomes very significant. One of the contemporary Muslim scientists who has done many readings while presenting a portrait of moderate Islam is Yusuf Qardhawi. In most of his works, Qardhawi presents a moderate Islamic discourse. According to Qardhawi, one of the most fundamental characteristics of Islam is wasathiyah which means moderate. This article seeks to explore the construction and application of Yusuf Qardhawi's moderate Islamic thought with a critical-philosophical approach.

CONCEPT OF SPIRIT AND CONSCIOUSNESS OF AL-FARABI

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of spirit and consciousness of one of the outstanding world thinkers – Abu Nasr al-Farabi.His name is associated not only with a certain number of scientific discoveries of the Middle Ages, but also with the development of educational socio-philosophical thought in the countries of the Middle East. The article deals with the issues of cognition and cognitive activity of a person, reveals the structure of the cognitive process and, exploring the “types of the soul”, shows the ratio of mind and imagination in the philosophy of al-Farabi. Key words: аl-Farabi, Islamic culture, science, philosophical thought of the East, Muslim scientists.

Al-Ghazali's Educational thought Model (Islamic Educational Philosophical Approach)

Al-Ghazali is one of the leaders of Muslim scientists who thought to be reckoned with in the world of science. But even so, thought a scientist would never be separated from the pros and cons. Some have claimed that Islam had reached its heyday in around the 7th century / M decline. The circles say that Al-Ghazali considered most responsible for it, because of changing patterns of Muslim life at that time to go back to the ascetic. However, Al-Ghazali thinking about education is one of the perfect reference. Because Al-Ghazali restrict education with the mystical thought.
