Pemahaman Pelajar Muslim Tentang Interkoneksi Gravitasi dalam Sains dan al-Qur'an
Muslim Students' Understanding of The Interconnection of Gravity in Science and the Qur'an
Abstrak.Gravitasi dikenal sebagai penemuan yang dikemukakan oleh ilmuwan barat yakni Sir Issac Newton. Jauh sebelum teori tersebut dikemukakan, sejatinya al-Qur’an terlebih dahulu turun dan terdapat ayat-ayat yang memberi isyarat adanya gravitasi, namun tidak semua orang memahami isyarat tersebut, hanya orang – orang yang memiliki bekal keahlian menafsirkan ayat al-Qur’an yang dapat memahaminya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dari penelitian ini didapatkan dari hasil wawancara dan kuesioner. Peserta dalam penelitian ini berjumlah lima puluh peserta yaitu peserta dari santri atau pelajar Al-Amin Islamic Boarding School, Mojokerto, Jawa Timur. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas santri memiliki pemahaman yang baik tentang interkoneksi gravitasi Newton dalam Sains dan al-Qur’an. Sebagian besar responden berpendapat bahwa gagasan gravitasi Newton berkaitan dengan ayat al-Qur’an terutama Q.S Al-Hajj 22:65, Q.S Al-Mursalat 77:25, Q.S Maryam 16:25, dan Q.S Al-Qori’ah ayat 1-5.
Abstract. Gravity is known as a discovery made by Sir Issac Newton. Long before this theory was put forward, the Qur’an actually came down first and some verses indicated the existence of gravity, but not everyone understood these signs. There are still many Islamic schools in Indonesia that have not yet studied science by relating the Qur'an. This study aims to determine the extent of Muslim students' understanding and to find out what Muslim students think about gravitational interconnection in science and the Qur'an. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The research data were obtained from interviews and questionnaires. Participants in this study were fifty participants, namely students from the Al-Amin Islamic Boarding School, Mojokerto, East Java. The results of this study indicate that the majority of students have a good understanding of Newton's gravitational interconnection in Science and the Qur'an. Most of the respondents argue that Newton's idea of gravity is related to the verses of the Qur’an, especially QS Al-Hajj 22:65, QS Al-Mursalat 77:25, QS Maryam 16:25, and QS Al-Qori'ah verses 1-5. This research can make Muslim students improve their understanding of gravity in science and the Qur'an and also increase their piety to God.
