The background of this research is that there are still people who oppose science and religion. One of the most famous theories of the universe is the theory of gravity, although most people know that it was discovered by Isaac Newton in his research in the 17th century. Although it was long before Newton discovered this theory of gravity, there was a Muslim scientist in the 12th century who discovered the theory of gravity. He is Al-Khazini. Where Newton discovered that gravity makes the sun the center of the solar system and allows humans to stand on the ground, Al-Khazini revealed that the strength of gravity is affected by the distance between two objects. The two theories put forward are almost the same. The purpose of this research is to find the creator of the first theory of gravity. The method used is a qualitative approach and is descriptive in nature. Data collection through observation Data were analyzed using data reduction, data grouping, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study state that Al-Khazini was the first creator of the theory of gravity, and then Isaac Newton was the first scientist to create or study the theory of gravity, where Newton created the gravitation formula and its proof.
