<![CDATA[This article examines the relationship between reason and revelation in the pursuit of science, technology, and the arts (IPTEKS), focusing on Qur’anic indications, the ethics of seeking knowledge, and changing approaches to Islamic studies from the classical to the contemporary periods. It employs library research with a descriptive-analytical approach. The sources are examined through thematic reading of Qur’anic verses, literature on Islamic epistemology, Muslim intellectual history, and academic studies on religion and science. The analysis groups themes, compares arguments, and interprets their relevance to knowledge development. The study finds that the Qur’an encourages reflection on nature, the use of reason, and the pursuit of knowledge, but its verses should not automatically be treated as formulations of modern scientific theories. Revelation provides theological and ethical orientation, while reason, experience, and scientific methods contribute to evaluating empirical claims. Stories of the prophets illustrate the value of work, skill, planning, and responsibility rather than directly proving that all modern technologies were already described in scripture. Historically, textual, rational-philosophical, and multidisciplinary approaches to Islamic studies developed through complex and overlapping processes. The article argues that integrating reason and revelation is most productive when understood as a critical dialogue among sources, methods, and values, rather than the elimination of differences between them.]]>
