<p><em>This article originally attempts to particularly find an answer whether the Muslim educational reforms introduced by the Muhammadiyah movement in Indonesia influenced by the ideas of 'Abduh. The results concluded the Muhammadiyah's educational reform programs were to a significant extent influenced by 'Abduh and founded on ideas which were undeniably similar to the ideas of 'Abduh. This suggests that the reform shows traces of a probable but unquantifiable influence of ‘Abduh and that this reform is certainly, at the very least, a reflection of ‘Abduh’s pervasive influence throughout the larger world of Islam.</em><em></em></p>

Abstrak Tulisan ini menganalisis upaya Nabi Muhammad Saw. dalam mewujudkan peradaban Islam dengan merebut sumber ekonomi dan komunitas dari penguasa Arab pra-Islam. Upaya Nabi Muhammad Saw. yang berhasil melangkahi aristokrat Mekkah (Bani Umayyah) menunjukkan bahwa Nabi Muhammad SAW tidak hanya mengajarkan agama tauhid, namun mempelajari setting sosial ekonomi-politik masyarakat pra Islam. Paper ini adalah riset kualitatif yang bersumber dari data literatur yang dianalisis dengan metode sosio-historis interpretatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedatangan Islam di Jazirah Arab mengubah struktur ekonomi masyarakat Islam, khususnya Mekkah. Sumber ekonomi dari kegiatan bisnis berubah menjadi kegiatan militer. Perebutan sumber ekonomi dilakukan dengan cara peperangan. Perubahan cara dalam mengalahkan sumber ekonomi dilatarbelakangi oleh kekalahan bisnis Bani Hasyim dari Bani Umayyah. Nabi Muhammad Saw. semula dibenci kaum Arab (Mekkah) karena berpotensi mengganggu sumber ekonomi Arab pra Islam, lalu dielu-elukan karena berhasil mendatangkan sumber keuangan baru yang lebih mudah melalui jalan jajahan.   Abstract This paper examines the efforts of the prophet Muhammad Saw. in realizing Islamic civilization by way of seizing economic and community resources from pre-Islamic Arab rulers. The efforts of the Prophet that successfully bypassed the Meccan aristocracy (Bani Umayyah) indicated that he was not only teach Muslims about monotheism, but also studying the socio-economic-political setting of pre-Islamic societies. This paper employs a qualitative research. The sources of data are taken from the study of literature, then is analized through interpretative socio-historical methods. The Data analysis has been presented descriptively. This research found that the arrival of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula has changed the economic structure of Islamic societies, especially in Mecca. The economic resources of business activities have turned into the military activities.  The seizure of economic resource was carried out by war. The changes in the way of defeating economic resources, due to the defeat of Bani Hasyim’s business from Bani Umayyah. The Prophet Muhammad Saw. was initially confronted by the Arabs (in Mecca) because of his potentials to disrupt the pre-Islamic Arab economic resources, but then he was hailed for successfully bringing some new financial resources that were much easier through the colony.

This paper traces the roots of the scientific tradition of astronomy in a classical century that marked the rise of Islamic civilization in the midst of Western darkness in a philosophical-historical perspective. The study focussed on translation activities in the eighth century to the peak of astronomical scientific activity that is divided into two major schools; the astronomical-mathematical school of the East and the astronomical-philosophical schools of the Western world to the Islamic Caliphate. The Greek astronomical tradition is basically dominated by Aristotelian thought that states that the universe is organized into a set of concentric spheres each carrying a star and spinning around the earth. The Earth is still and becomes the center of the universe. Ptolemy adopted the two basic principles of Aristotle, ie the earth dwells at the center of the universe and the motion of heavenly bodies must be represented by a set of perfectly uniform circular motions. From the results of historical studies on the development of Muslim astronomy in the classical century can be seen that the peak of scientific progress in the Western world can not be separated from the point of zenit for the advancement of science developed by Muslim scientists. Efforts made by Western scientists in enriching the astronomical treasury is inseparable from the step of translation through intensive scientific studies that gave birth to a variety of monumental works in the history of astronomy.
