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.
