Harmonizing Islamic Quantum in Islamic Education: An Islamic Perspective Through the Lens of Nidhal Guessoum's Philosophy

This article aims to discuss explore Nidhal Guessoum's perspective on the relationship between Islam and modern science, utilizing library research methods and a qualitative approach. The primary focus is on the views of Muslim thinkers regarding the cosmology of classical Islamic philosophy, scientific interpretations, traditionalism, and modern science. Guessoum proposes a theistic Islamic cosmological view, in which cosmology serves as a framework for monotheism. While cosmology cannot fully encompass science, Guessoum argues that a Muslim must study science while maintaining belief in the existence of God. He emphasizes that Islamic cosmology is not merely a scientific explanation but an integration of religion and modern science. Guessoum's quantum approach is based on three principles: conceptual integration between religion and science, interdisciplinary methods to understand natural and religious phenomena, and critical thinking to evaluate diverse views. He highlights the importance of Muslim identity in the study of science, which allows a Muslim to uphold their faith. Guessoum acknowledges the weaknesses in the traditional approach to Islamic cosmology and offers a more coherent and integrative alternative. His thinking offers a new perspective that combines Islamic cosmology with scientific principles, offering a framework for understanding how religion and science can coexist harmoniously
