Modernization of Islamic Religious Education Learning Based on Science at SMA Trensains Muhammadiyah Sragen: Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi’s Perspective

Abstract

ABSTRACT : The Islamization of science echoed by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi is contradictory. Some opinions state that science and Islamic education are two elements that cannot be combined because they have different foundations. Science is identical to western culture and doctrine, while Islamic education is more inclined towards the aspect of religiosity. This study aims to describe the pattern of education at Trensains and to find out the Islamization of science by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi at SMA Trensains as well as the implementation and implications of the Islamization of science at SMA Trensains ragen. This study is a field study with an ethnographic approach. The data collection process uses interviews, observations and documentation. The results of the study show that the education Pattern at Trensains uses a unification curriculum that integrates Science and religion. Furthermore, the approach to education based on science and religion in schools is in line with Ismail Rajis opinion by emphasizing mastery of science, study of Al-Qur'an interpretation related to natural phenomena, and learning the history of Muslim scientists. The implementation of the Islamization of science is reflected in the planning and implementation given by teachers such as providing contemporary examples in learning. The implications of Islamization in Trensains include several aspects, namely curriculum development, contextual and spiritual teaching methodology, and the formation of critical student character based on the values of monotheism.
