Integration of the Qur’an and Science: Building a Holistic Learning Model in the 21st Century

Abstract

The development of science and technology in the 21st century demands that education should not only focus on cognitive mastery but also on strengthening spiritual and moral values. In the context of Islamic education, the integration of the Qur’an and science becomes a strategic approach to shaping learners who are intellectually competent, faithful, and possess strong character. This study aims to explore the concept and implementation of an integrative approach between the Qur’an and science in 21st-century learning. The method used is library research by analyzing Qur’anic interpretations, Islamic education literature, and modern learning theories. The findings indicate that kauniyyah verses in the Qur’an can serve as pedagogical foundations for science learning that fosters both scientific and spiritual awareness. This integrative approach has the potential to create a holistic learning model that balances rationality and spirituality, making it relevant in addressing ethical and moral challenges in the digital era.
