The Urgency of Science to Islam in the Perspective of Tarbawi Hadith

Abstract

Talking about science itself actually cannot be separated from the discussion about religion. This can be seen from the many commands in the Qur'an and the hadith of the prophet that explain the importance of seeking knowledge. But on the other hand, there are still people who think that religion and knowledge are two things that go in different directions. Therefore, this study aims to observe more deeply related to the urgency of science towards religion from the perspective of tarbawi hadith. The method used in this research is a literature study. As a result, in the Qur'an and Hadith itself, many arguments are found that discuss the importance of these two things. Meanwhile, to choose which one needs to be studied first, it can be seen from its usefulness. The criteria for useful knowledge is when the knowledge learned by a servant can get him closer to Allah SWT. It is a form of devotion of a servant to his God because basically, the more knowledgeable a person is, the more his piety should increase as well. For this reason, the actualization of faith is ubudiyah, one of which is seeking knowledge where the result is in the form of piety, which then can be used as a locomotive for knowledge to develop inside a muttaqin (pious people).
