“…A tremendous cultural and intellectual transformation in the history of human civilization was brought about in early Muslim societies by the Qur'an. It supplied a new basis for the early Muslims' efforts in constructing a new civilization [11]. Muslim scientists were successful in their contributions to science and civilization when they maintained the nexus between existential reality and its metaphysical dimension, atheo-centric value order that guided their scientific enquiry, and their quest for knowledge and truth [12].…”

Muslim scientists were successful in their contributions to science and civilization when they maintained the nexus between existential reality and its metaphysical dimension, atheo-centric value order that guided their scientific enquiry, and their quest for knowledge and truth [12]. Influenced and inspired by Quran's scientific approach towards human problems, Muslims have contributed actively in all branches of science in every age.…”

“…Though, the position of Muslims of Present time is vastly different from the position of their ancestors and they are no longer in a position to dictate the direction of Science & Technology as a societal and a national pursuit, living mainly as consumers and borrowers even at the level of ideas and thoughts [19], but still there are many contemporaneous Muslim scientists who by following the footsteps of their ancestors, continued the process of contribution towards scientific development and improvement of human life at individual level. The irony is that the majority of Muslims are unaware of the contribution of current Muslim scientists and think that Muslim Ummah is in deep sleep and have abandoned the creative thinking and scientific approach at large.…”

Objectives: There is a common misunderstanding that religion and science are contradictory to one another and hence religion is hindrance in progress and development. This study emphasizes the importance of acquiring the knowledge of science & technology from an Islamic perspective and tries to remove the misconception about prohibition of adopting the science & technology in religion. Researchers have tried their best to establish the fact that there is no contradiction between religion & science. Methods: Interpretive method of research has been used in this study. The researchers have used historical facts for demonstrating the role played by ancient and current scholars in the development of science & technology. Data from several past & present research materials have been collected and theory of compatibility of religion with science & technology has been established from the observed data. Findings: Islamic civilization is based on knowledge and awareness. The first revelation was about the reading. In Quran and Hadith, whenever and wherever the word knowledge is mentioned, it does not refer to religious knowledge only but in fact the word knowledge refers to any science which may benefit human beings from material and spiritual perspective. Application/improvements: There is a common perception that religion obstructs the involvement of people in science & technology. Authors have proved in this study that the situation is contrary. This is only a small glimpse of wide picture of role played by Islam in encouraging active participation in the advancement of science & technology.

“…The relationship between science and religion (Islam) as two things without a dichotomy has been explained by many researchers (Kamali & Bakar, 2016;Kurniawan & Tijani, 2017;Masood, 2009). Even the records of the contribution of knowledge from Muslim scholars in algebra, number theory and trigonometry have greatly contributed to current knowledge (Halal, Aji, Masruri, & Rossidy, 2014) included in astronomy (Rozak, 2015).…”

Ethno-mathematical research trends pioneered by D'Ambrosio are on the rise, especially in Indonesia as a nation with high cultural diversity which has a lot of potential researches to be explored. This paper has two major objectives, first to explore the importance of the role of mathematics in the practice of Dhikr Jahar in Tariqa Qodiriyyah Naqsyabandiyyah and second to contrast the differences between mathematical phenomena and mathematical concepts in ethnomathematics research. Attempts to contrast the mathematical phenomena and mathematical concepts in ethnomathematics was expected to provide a sharper highlight in the writing of ethnomathematics research. This research used qualitative methods with two approaches, namely ethnography and phenomenology. The locations of the research are at Pondok Pesantren Suryalaya-Sirnarasa and Padepokan Talangraga Tasikmalaya with observations for 9 months in the first stage and then 6 months in the second stage. The number of respondents interviewed in this research were 48 people. Data processing was performed using the Nvivo 12 Plus. The results showed that there are many mathematical phenomena in the practice of Dhikr Jahar Ikhwan TQN. In carrying out the practice of dhikr, the Ikhwan used a mathematical concept with two events, fingers and prayer beads aids. The concept of counting in dhikr was used strictly by the Ikhwan. They believe that numbers have an important role in the quantity of dhikr. Contrasting mathematical phenomena and mathematical concepts can be done with an emic and etic approach and is expected to become an alternative style in ethnomathematics research.
