This type of research is library research that collects primary data through books related to the work of Mahmud Yunus. The secondary data is obtained from literature and supporting documents qualitatively and described in descriptive form. The results of the research conclude that, in Mahmud Yunus' thought and commentary, he tried to bridge the gap between religious science and general science so that there would be no dichotomy between the two. He is also the one who pioneered the establishment of modern schools or Islamic boarding schools, one of which is the Darussalam Islamic boarding school, Gontor Ponorogo. Penelitian ini dilakukan kerena dilatar belakangi masalah dikotomis pendidikan di era modern saat ini.
