Abstract

This paper aims to formulate the integration of science and religion with the monotheism paradigm as its foundation and how this paradigm is implemented at the Sunan Gunung Djati State Islamic University, Bandung. In the context of the contemporary Islamic world, the formulation of the monotheistic paradigm is an answer to the challenge of the development of Western secularism which has created a dichotomy between science on the one hand and religion on the other. The method used in this paper is the Philosophical Research Method which seeks to find a fundamental view of the relationship between human nature regarding the development of science and the nature of monotheism as its paradigm. Therefore, this paper is in the form of library research, which reveals the meaning of texts analytically, synthetically and critically. The results of the study show that (1) the monotheism paradigm is closely related to and provides space for the development of Islamic epistemology for the integration of science and religion originating from the spirit of revelation, (2) the monotheism paradigm which is the basis for the development of scientific attitudes of classical Islamic scientists with their experiments can be continued in the Islamic world because it is very different from the way of secular Western scientists who work by relying too much on positivism methods, (3) Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung State Islamic University implements this tauhid paradigm by incorporating revelation into scientific discourse so that it can answer the challenges of the needs of Muslims contemporary society in developing a religious, scientific community. This paper recommends more serious research on monotheism as a paradigm of integrating science and religion.
