Integrating Knowledge Through Tauhid: Ismail Raji al-Faruqi's Islamization Paradigm in Social and Educational Contexts

The rapid development of modern science has created a dichotomy between Islamic and secular science in Muslim societies, creating an epistemological polarization that requires integrative solutions. Previous studies have not comprehensively examined the framework of the integration of Ismail Raji al-Faruqi's knowledge, especially in the socio-educational context. This research aims to: (1) analyze the concept of social-educational science integration according to al-Faruqi, and (2) examine its implementation methodology. Based on the paradigm of Islamization of Science with a monotheistic approach as a theoretical framework, this qualitative research uses a descriptive-analytical method with content analysis techniques on al-Faruqi's primary works and related secondary literature. The research findings reveal three key aspects: first, the rejection of value-free science; second, monotheism as the foundation of epistemological integration; Third, an integrated curriculum model based on maqāṣid syarī'ah. This study provides a theoretical contribution in the form of systematization of the previously fragmented al-Faruqi model of integration of knowledge, as well as offering practical guidelines for the development of a holistic Islamic education curriculum. It is concluded that the model of the integration of al-Faruqi science is relevant as a solution to the dichotomy of contemporary science with the note of the need for contextual adaptation.
