Al-Ghazali's Contribution to Islamic Scientific Ethics: Integration of Moral Values in Science Development

Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali's thought has a significant role in forming a conceptual foundation that integrates science and Islamic ethics. Through his works such as Ihya Ulumuddin, Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of practicing moral values such as sincerity of intention, honesty, responsibility, and gentleness in scientific practice. For him, science not only serves as a rational tool, but also a spiritual medium to get closer to the Creator. This research seeks to examine Al-Ghazali's views on scientific ethics and how they are relevant in the context of the development of science today, which faces ethical challenges and degradation of spiritual values due to secularization. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review, this study finds that Al-Ghazali's thought offers a conceptual solution to unite reason, faith, and morals in the scientific process. This is crucial in shaping the practice of modern science that is not only technologically superior, but also noble in human values.
