The Concept and Nobility of Knowledge, the Integration of Knowledge, Faith, and Action, and the Paradigm of the Relationship Between Religion and Science

Modern science is often regarded as value-free and separated from religion, so it tends to develop without clear ethical direction. This study aims to describe the concept and virtue of knowledge in Islam, the integration of knowledge, faith, and deeds, and the paradigms of the relationship between religion and science. It employs a qualitative approach using the library research method. Data were collected through documentation of twenty sources, consisting of books and classical texts, and analyzed using descriptive-analytical content analysis. The findings show three main points. First, knowledge in Islam is not neutral but a noble trust rooted in revelation, carrying value dimensions and broad scope. Second, knowledge, faith, and deeds form a unified whole that mutually reinforces one another: knowledge nurtures faith, faith guides knowledge, and deeds are the tangible expression of both. Third, among Barbour‟s four typologies of the relationship between religion and science, integration is most consistent with Islamic teachings and intellectual history, and in Indonesia it is expressed through the integrative-interconnective approach.
