Policies and patterns of integration of science and religion in Indonesian Islamic higher education

Abstract

The integration of science and religion in the contemporary Islamic world has been debated. This article examines the policies and patterns of integration of science and religion in Islamic higher education institutions in Indonesia, focusing on Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN/Universitas Islam Negeri) Jakarta. This research is a field study whose primary sources are obtained through document data and interviews. The results show that, first, the integration policy officially rejects the Islamization of science but combines religious and general sciences or vice versa. This integration is patterned by identifying core and auxiliary sciences, and if the core science is religious, then the auxiliary science is general science and vice versa. Second, integration is seen from the work of lecturers, which is formulated into five forms, as follows: first, integration of scientific themes that are related; second, integration of references; third, integration of all sciences; fourth, integration of philosophical foundations (epistemological, ontological, and axiological); and fifth, integration of Islamic science with social science and cultural science approaches. This research concludes that the integration pattern at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta is open, which allows it to continue to grow. This pattern can be referred to as open integration.
