Abstract

The whole universe is a source of appreciation as it is created by Almighty Allah. How it functions has been an important issue for Muslims and that is the more reason why they are encouraged to reflect, study and explore the universe in order to prove the Qur'an scriptural prophesy on scientific theories and discoveries. This article delves into the historical contributions of Islamic education to science and technology, the integration of faith and reason in Islamic educational philosophy, and the contemporary impact of this education on scientific research and innovation. By exploring these aspects, we aim to underscore the enduring relevance and potential of Islamic education in contributing to global scientific progress. In the course of discussing the role of Islamic education in science and technology, the contributions of Islamic scholars to various scientific fields, the integration of faith and reason within Islamic educational frameworks, and the contemporary impact of Islamic education on scientific research and innovation were explored. By examining both historical and modern contexts, the paper highlights the continuing influence of Islamic education on the global scientific community and the potential for future advancements. While delving into the conceptual framework, it shows the contributions of the early Muslims to the field of science and technology.
