THE FORMATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC TRADITION IN ISLAM AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ISLAMIC WORLDVIEW IN THE VIEW OF MUHAMMAD NAQUIB AL-ATTAS

Abstract

Islam is a perfect religion, to understand Islam requires science based on the values of the Qur'an and the guidance of the Prophet to form a perspective of Islam. Muhammad Naquib Al Attas has declared this in order to prevent the so-called westernization or western thought patterns that arise and spread in Islamic traditions and perspectives, in fact Muslims must learn what has become their scientific tradition (Islam) in order to be distanced from the values of westernization. In this writing, a normative approach based on facts and sources of writing data in the form of journals, articles and books that are related to this discussion is used. Muhammad Naquib Al Attas emphasized the importance of Islamization of science as a bridge to preventĀ  the Western worldview, which refers to the epistemology of Islam, namely the Qur'an and the guidance of the Prophet PBUH. Muhammad Naquib Al Attas also requires Muslims to sort out contemporary science that has been mixed with Western speculation and ideology that is contrary to Islamic values by offering a Solution that focuses on the in reconstructing contemporary science by integrating Islamic values and worldviews (monotheism) as its epistemological basis, not only methodologically, but also in values, goals, and ethics.
