The Urgency of Development of Cosmographic Material Based on Al Quran

Abstract

Higher education aims to develop the potential of learners to become human beings who believe and be cautious to God Almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become citizens of a democratic and responsible. The noble goal can be realized if education is held thoroughly, not only to educate intellectual but spiritual students. This article aims to illustrate the importance of developing Al Qur'an-based cosmographic materials. This is because many verses of the Al- Qur'an describe the process of the occurrence of the universe. It is certainly very interesting to be integrated into cosmographic teaching materials. The findings of modern science today have much to prove the truth of the Al-Qur'an that was revealed 14 centuries ago. The study of cosmography by integrating the Al-Qur'an's content can make students as a person who glorifies God and thinks of most of the signs of God's greatness. This can be an alternative to reduce the »spiritual drought» in cosmographic learning in college so far.
