Divine Harmony: Digging Up Science and Technology Verses in the Tafsir of Mafatihul Ghaib by Ar Razi in the Digital Era
Abstract
In the digital era marked by the rapid advancement of science and technology, there is an urgent need to examine the relevance of religious texts in the modern context. This research aims to explore the relationship between science and technology in the interpretation of Mafatihul Ghaib by Ar-Razi, as well as how this interpretation can provide insight into addressing contemporary challenges. The object of this research is the interpretation of Mafatihul Ghaib, which is analyzed through a hermeneutic approach to understand the meaning and application of its verses in the digital era. The research methods included interviews with scholars, observations, and documentation, which resulted in the finding that there is an increasing awareness among academics and religious practitioners about the relevance of this interpretation. The analysis found disagreement among scholars regarding the application of tafsir in the context of science and technology: some support adapting tafsir, while others are concerned about excessive interpretations that can obscure the essence of religious messages. The conclusions of this study emphasize the importance of an open dialogue between religion and science, as well as the need for further research to explore the practical application of Ar Razi's interpretation in the context of modern science and technology. Thus, this research is expected to make a more meaningful contribution to society by bridging the gap between spirituality and science.
