TELAAH KONSEP OTAK DALAM AL-QUR’AN

Abstract

The dichotomy between religion and science does not only occur in the west, but also occurs in Islamic civilization after the golden age of Islam during the caliphate of the Abbasid dynasty. To get the relationship between religion and science, the researchers focused this research on how the Qur'an views the brain which is the container for human thinking. The resulting relationship between the Qur'an and the brain later is a natural theological integration relationship promoted by Ian Barbour. That way, the brain as a microcosm of nature becomes a supporter of experimentation (aqli) from the scientific verses of the Qur'an which are the source of naqli for Muslims. Therefore, it will be revealed how the concept of the brain in the Qur'an, whether the brain itself is mentioned in the Qur'an or is the brain only mentioned for its functions.
