ISLAM SEBAGAI LANDASAN PERKEMBANGAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN DAN TEKNOLOGI

Abstract

"> Basically there are two paradigms of Islam in science and technology development. First, making aqeedah of Islam as the science paradigm. This paradigm should be owned for the Moslem, not the secular paradigm as it is now. The paradigm of Islam states that aqeedah of Islam is an obligation to be the thought base (qa’idah fikriyah) for all the science building. It does not mean that aqeedah of Islam as the source of any science, but as the standard for all the science. Second, making the syariah value (which is born from the aqeedah of Islam) as the standard for the science and technology utilization in daily lives. This standard or criteria should be used for the Moslem, not the utility standard (pragmatism/utilitarianism) as it is now. The syariah standard manages, that it may whether or not the using of the science and technology utilization, be based on the halal-haram requirement (laws of Islam syariah).
