Response Paper to: Islam, Science and Islamic Science (Academic Study of Religion)


       The integration of Science and Islam is possible because both of them have similar view on the importance of knowledge for human.  The integration is how to make and understand that Science and Islam connected each other appropriately. Normatively, Islam, by God’s commands on Qur’an always encourages Muslims to reach and find the secret and knowledge behind the nature and their life. Science empirically is the human way to get the best thing for managing and solving their problem by improving and accumulating their knowledge using scientific methods.
Islam gives the high attention to knowledge. In Qur’an, no verse forbids us to reach and get it. For instance, God, like He says in Qur’an, commands us to know the secrets behind this universe about the happening of Earth, Sky, Sun, Moon and the other phenomena (Jonas : 5-6) . Besides that, our prophet Muhammad also obliges us to study forever along our life (His saying or Hadits). There is no doubt that Islam always supports and encourages Muslim to get knowledge forever.
Science is practically one of the manifestations of knowledge. Science is built to find the answer of the secrets of human life by its own methods, called scientific method. Human creates all of the things they need in this life using Science empirically. For instance, They creates machines to help their daily activity easier and faster.  Because of that, human can get the best improvement and build a new civilization based on the mastering of knowledge.
Therefore, the integration of Islam and Science is possible because both of them always emphasizing the importance of knowledge for human life. Islam and Science can walk together to bring a human to get their glory.

September

September Kulipat mimpi Kukantongi mantra Lihat, tak ada lagi duka Lihat, rindu kita melanglang buana Ini September Saat kita segera berangkat Memula masa singkat, meski Menyimpan geletar gelap Dan sendu tasbih para malaikat Melukis gemerlap esok Merajut dunia Melibas prahara Tak usah bersedih Sedang kesedihan pun mulai bosan Jadi teman kecil kita Mari sulut semangat Biar berkilat semua karat Dan benderang semua pekat Untuk Bunga Kutulis puisi untukmu Agar terketuk segala pintu Dan terbuka segala rahasia Kita benar-benar berbeda Meski Waktu selalu saja cemburu Dengan diam yang kita bicarakan Dengan cerita yang kita bisukan Untuk Bunga Engkaulah penanda baru Pada setiap jejak yang kubuat Untuk memintal ruang waktu Meski jauh menjadi karib Meski koma menjelma titik Demi Waktu Demi Waktu Manusia selalu berada dalam kerugian Demi Waktu Manusia tempat segala kesalahan Demi Waktu Manusia-lah kekasi...

Berotak Tekad, Berhati Malaikat; a Tribute to Undar Jombang

18 September 1965, tanggal kelahiran Undar Jombang. Sudah begitu tua, setua Gus Mujib, Neng Eyik dan Gus Lukman yang sampai sekarang masih menjadi penguasa-penguasa Undar, asyik mengangkangi “tahta kecil” mereka. Tapi Undar memang istimewa, biarpun dihantam krisis kepemimpinan sejak lama, sampai sekarang masih saja berdiri kukuh. Menantang langit, mengukir jaman. Undar selalu ada, tapi sedihnya, mungkin ia juga pelan-pelan menjadi tiada. Timbul tenggelam, mencari pegangan kesana kemari tanpa pertolongan siapapun. Bukan karena tidak ada yang menolong, tapi karena Undar sendiri yang menolaknya. Di stasiun Purwokerto, jam 6 pagi pada akhir Juli 2004, aku bersama seorang sahabat karib menaiki kereta Logawa jurusan Purwokerto – Surabaya. Tiket seharga 21 ribu selalu kupegang erat-erat. Ini perjalananku pertama kali yang jauh dari Cilacap, kota kelahiranku. Hari itu, aku dan temanku berangkat ke Jombang, untuk nyantri dan kuliah di Universitas Darul Ulum Jombang. Sejak melihat brosur ka...

The Toughest Week

I would genuinely say that this week is one of the hardest. Problems visit like a flood, not giving me some time to breathe. However, I fortunately feel okay, considering it as a process that can make me stronger. First, my boss decided to cut off my salary this morning because of giving the batiks that I should make into office's uniform into my friend from Philippine. I did it because I felt bad to invite him to my pesantren without handing over such souvenir. I thought that I can buy it another batiks which has similar pattern (kawung) at Beringharjo market. However, my boss had different view and the result is that he punished me by cutting my salary as a substitute to price of batiks he provided to me. It is rather funny I guess, but I will not make a mess with that small problem. I should fully accept it as a risk when I hand my office's gift into other. Second, I failed to secure some money to pay rent for the house. Therefore, I turn up into the last choice to ...
