PEMAKNAAN TEOLOGIS M. FETHULLAH GULEN TENTANG RELASI AGAMA DAN SAINS
Abstract: The article
discusses Gülen’s theological perspective on relation between science and
Islam, which becomes the platform of his educational movement—while within
Islamic knowledge tradition (theology) this matter is still debated—mainly in
terms of the position and relation between reason and revelation (wahy). Gülen
is interested in defending the position of Islamic theology towards science and
knowledge, which has so far—as he concluded—played subordinate role. Religion
and science, to Gülen, cannot be considered equal in Islam. Gülen asserts that
Muslims have not so far developed yet the concept of knowledge in its true
meaning; based on Islamic values and formulated mainly from the Qur’an and the
Prophet Muhammad’s deeds. Moreover, Gülen emphasizes that the assumption of
separation of revelation and reason, which has been understood so far, has been
in fact a false supposition. The clash that should exist is, in fact, between
secular view and religious one.
