Abstract

This study aims to explore and understand the transformation of the knowledge paradigm at Syarif Hidayatullah and Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic Universities (UIN) and its relevance to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This transformation responds to the need to integrate modern science and technology with Islamic values as an effort to form an intellectual generation ready to face the challenges of globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The methodology applied includes a literature review and a comparative approach to understand the integration models adopted by both universities. This transformation is expected to contribute significantly to creating an adaptive curriculum that maintains Islamic identity in the digital era.

Abstract

This paper describes the epistemology of bayani, tajribi and burhani in AlJabiri's thinking. Bayani is a thinking methodology model based on text.

For al-Jabiri the burhani epistemology must be an epistemology worthy of being applied in society to reduce the habit of romanticism that seeks knowledge through illuminative.

Abstract

This paper describe critics about secularism in Western science, which separates religion from worldly aspects of life, emphasizing objectivity without the influence of religious values. This view contradicts Islamic Education, which integrates religious teachings in shaping individuals who are faithful, pious, and of noble character. The process of secularization shifts society away from spiritual values, creating gaps in understanding, especially in education. Islamic education focuses on the harmony between religion and science, unlike the secularist view that separates the two. As a result, secularism influences future generations to solve problems without considering religious values, which contradicts the holistic principles of Islam.

Abstract

In the modern era characterized by rapid developments in science and technology, the need for the integration of knowledge and religion has become increasingly pressing. While these two elements have distinct domains, they possess the potential to complement each other in providing comprehensive solutions to the various challenges faced by the global community. The integration of science and religion is not only relevant in addressing ethical and moral issues but also in building a holistic and inclusive education system. The Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta is one of the institutions that have consistently developed the paradigm of integrating science and religion, known as the integrative-interconnective approach. This paradigm aims not only to unify these two disciplines but also to dynamically connect them within the realm of both theory and praxis in higher education. The paradigm serves as a model for the development of knowledge grounded in Islamic values while simultaneously opening a dialogue with modern science. However, the implementation of the integration of science and religion in the era of globalization faces various challenges, ranging from resistance to the paradigm shift, limited resources, to the pressure from the predominantly secular modernization. Nevertheless, significant opportunities have also emerged with the growing academic literature that elaborates on this approach, such as the journal Afkaruna: Indonesian Interdisciplinary Journal of Islamic Studies and other works highlighting the importance of renewing the scientific paradigm in Islamic higher education institutions
