Abstract

This study is a qualitative research that seeks to examine the thoughts of Lahmuddin Nasution regarding ilm al-falak (astronomy) and its relevance to Islamic education. The data were obtained from Lahmuddin’s works, writings of other authors who have studied him, as well as interviews with his colleagues and students. The study finds that ilm al-falak is a field of knowledge that explores the trajectories of celestial bodies such as the sun, the moon, the stars, and other astronomical objects. In his discussion of ilm al-falak, Lahmuddin addresses the determination of prayer times and the methods for establishing the beginning of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Furthermore, ilm al-falak and Islamic education share a strong and essential connection. Without ilm al-falak, the objectives of Islamic education, namely worshipping Allah and fulfilling the role of khalifah, cannot be properly realized, because acts of worship require adherence to specific, divinely prescribed times. Likewise, its relevance extends to modern Islamic education through the integration of religious principles and scientific knowledge.
