Abstract

The aspiration of most Muslim intellectuals is how to break the scientific dichotomous dilemma that has been rooted so strongly in the history of Islamic Education. Among those Muslim intellectuals is Ziauddin Sardar. The epistemological construction built by Sardar, to integrate science and religion is to make the Qur'an and Hadith as the basic foundation for the development of Islamic science. Islamic science must fulfil the following requirements, namely tawhid (God's divinity), khalifa (God's guardian), 'worship, 'ilm (knowledge), halal (permissible things), haram (prohibited things), 'adl (social justice), zulm (tyranny), istishlah (public interest), and diya' (waste). Educationally, the process of developing Islamic education for Sardar is to internalise values with the spirit of Islam, namely fulfilling the ideals of the Islamic worldview, such as brotherhood, social justice, proportional use of natural resources.
