Abstract

This article provides an important framework for the development of Islamisation in general and Islamisation in sciences in particular. Islamisation as a scientific activity and process that takes place in a university context requires more than conceptualization and theorization. It demands strategisation, planning, implementation and evaluation. Hence, whatever is our conceptualisation of Islamisation the important message is what value or impact that may be added or created from this scientific activity. This article used textual analysis to introduce the concept of Islamisation and Islamisation in science stressing the need for more in-depth articulation of the activity from epistemological, methodological and education perspective. The article concludes that there is a need to enhance science education from an Islamic perspective so as to create a conducive environment for the development of Islamisation activities. Furthermore, the Muslim mind needs to engage in serious intellectual efforts to develop an Islamic epistemology and methodology for the development of scientific thinking and its applications in various disciplines. Artikel ini menyediakan satu kerangka penting bagi perkembangan pengislaman umumnya dan pengislaman ilmu sains khususnya. Pengislaman sebagai satu aktiviti saintifik dan proses yang mengambil tempat dalam konteks universiti bukan sekadar pengkonseptualan dan penteorian. Pengislaman memerlukan usaha mengatur strategi, merancang, melaksana dan menilai. Justeru, tidak kira apa pengkonseptualan pengislaman yang ada, yang paling penting ialah nilai atau impak yang dapat ditambah atau dihasilkan daripada aktiviti saintifik itu. Artikel ini menggunakan analisis teks untuk memperkenalkan konsep pengislaman dan pengislaman dalam sains dengan menitikberatkan keperluan memfokuskan aktiviti itu dari perspektif epistimologi, perkaedahan dan pendidikan. Seterusnya, rumusan dibuat tentang perlunya menambah baik pendidikan sains dari perspektif Islam bagi membentuk satu suasana kondusif untuk perkembangan aktiviti pengislaman. Tambahan lagi, minda Muslim perlu terlibat dalam usaha intelektual secara serius untuk membangunkan epistimologi dan metodologi Islam agar berkembang maju dalam pemikiran saintifik dan aplikasinya dalam pelbagai bidang.
