Abstract

This research aims to explore how the history of the Renaissance occurred in Indonesia, especially in the field of Islamic education. The renaissance of Islamic education in Indonesia marks a new era of holistic and integrative scientific development. The Renaissance here is the transformation of the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) into the State Islamic University (UIN). UIN strives to produce graduates who are competent in the field of science and technology. This research is studied through a library research method that uses literature as a data collection technique, such as scientific articles, books, and sources from the internet. The results of the study show that UIN can produce competent graduates in the field of science and technology based on religious knowledge, and are ready to face the modern era. The concept of scientific integration of UIN is to be able to stand at the forefront of the revival of Islamic education in Indonesia, as well as to produce ready and qualified human resources in the modern era.
