THE CONCEPT OF INTEGRATION OF RELIGION AND SCIENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Abstract

Religion and science are actually two things that cannot be separated. The dichotomy between general and religious sciences causes an imbalance between scientific aspects and ethical and moral aspects. Humans are not enough just to have intelligence in terms of intellectuality, but humans are required to have good spiritual aspects so that this becomes a balance so that there is no excessive fanaticism between religious knowledge and general science. Integration between science and religion is absolute because basically all knowledge comes from God. Religious science does not only talk about matters related to religious rituals, but also regulates social sciences, humanities, and science to understand everything that exists in this world. In the context of Islamic education, several concepts emerged to unite science and religion, including the concepts offered at the state and private Islamic religious universities with their characteristics. With the concept of integration, it is hoped that there will no longer be a dichotomy of thought that distinguishes or separates absolutely between religion and science
