Belajar Matematika dalam Perspektif Islam

Introduction

Belajar matematika dalam perspektif islam. Belajar matematika perspektif Islam: Alat spiritual memahami kebesaran Allah SWT. Qur'an dan Hadits dukung pencarian ilmu. Tingkatkan iman, takwa melalui tafakur & tadabbur alam semesta.

Abstract

This study examines the importance of learning mathematics from an Islamic perspective, arguing thatthis discipline is not only a cognitive tool, but also a spiritual means of understanding the greatness ofAllah SWT. In Islam, mathematics has a unique position as the Qur’an implicitly refers to order, balanceand careful calculation in the creation of the universe, as seen in the movement of celestial bodies or thedivision of inheritance. Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad also encourage the pursuit of knowledge andthe use of reason, which broadly includes the study of mathematics as a foundation for the advancementof science. Through the library research method, the researcher collected and analyzed various literaturesources, including journal articles, academic books, books of tafsir, and Hadith, both in digital and printformats. To ensure validity and depth of analysis, the researcher applied data triangulation, comparing andconfirming findings from various sources. The results of the analysis show that learning mathematics canfoster tafakur (contemplation) and tadabbur (deep appreciation) of Allah’s creation, thus increasing faith andpiety. The study concludes that mathematics, from an Islamic perspective, is a way to uncover the secrets ofthe universe and witness the signs of divine power, making it a worshipful activity with a spiritual dimension.

Review

The paper "Belajar Matematika dalam Perspektif Islam" offers a compelling and valuable contribution by exploring mathematics not merely as a cognitive discipline but as a profound spiritual avenue within an Islamic framework. The authors effectively articulate a unique position for mathematics, drawing persuasive connections to implicit references in the Qur'an regarding universal order and Hadith emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge. This robust theoretical grounding establishes a strong rationale for the study, positioning mathematics as a means to understand divine greatness and foster a deeper appreciation for creation. The methodology, employing a comprehensive library research approach that integrates diverse sources including Qur'an, Hadith, tafsir, and academic literature, demonstrates a thorough commitment to interdisciplinary inquiry. The chosen library research method, augmented by data triangulation, appears well-suited for a conceptual study of this nature, ensuring a systematic and valid exploration of the established connections. The study's findings are particularly insightful, highlighting how engagement with mathematics can cultivate *tafakur* (contemplation) and *tadabbur* (deep appreciation) of Allah's creation, thereby strengthening faith and piety. By framing mathematics as a tool to uncover the universe's secrets and witness signs of divine power, the research successfully argues for its spiritual dimension, ultimately repositioning the act of learning mathematics as an act of worship. This recontextualization offers a fresh and potentially transformative perspective on educational philosophy. This paper holds significant potential for enriching educational discourse, particularly in Islamic education settings, by providing a theological and philosophical basis for integrating mathematics more deeply with spiritual development. While the study effectively establishes the conceptual links, future research could benefit from exploring more concrete examples or case studies where specific mathematical concepts (beyond general order or inheritance) are explicitly linked to Qur'anic verses or Hadith, potentially drawing from the rich history of Islamic science. Additionally, investigating pedagogical applications arising from this perspective, perhaps through curriculum development or teacher training, would be a logical next step to translate these profound insights into practical educational frameworks. Overall, the paper makes a commendable contribution to both Islamic thought and the philosophy of education.
