In order for Being Science Strength, This is the key

Islam is a religion of science that really appreciate and respect the people who have knowledge, that the scientists and scholars. Allah exalt those who believe and knowledgeable few degrees. (Surat al-Mujadilah [58]: 11).

Science became the basis of human virtue and glory be decisive. The appointment of Prophet Adam as the Caliph none other than science (intellectual potential) of his, so he was able to beat competitors (competitors) toughest, that the angels (Sura al-Baqarah [2]: 30).



In Islam, science is not just for science, but for goodness and worship. Science must give birth to a charity or action. "Knowing is not enough." We must act and according to his knowledge to work.

It is said that one day Abu Darda ', which is known pious companions of the Prophet of this, discussing with friends the other Prophets. Discussion up to questions keakhiratan (eschatology). Suddenly, Abu Darda wept, his tears melted. Participants were amazed and asked him why he was crying? Abu Darda 'said, "I am afraid that in the Hereafter asked,' Do you have a science and if you do what you know '?" (Rijal al-Rasul haula, p 362).

Panel discussion and dialogue on science Abu Darda 'is attracting scrutiny. First, Abu Darda ', the caregiver assembly is one of the companions are not only pious, but also self-restraint in the sense of having a fear mingled awe (khasy-yah) is high in God. That is one feature of a scholar. (QS Fathir [35]: 28).

Second, the object (material) is not merely a discussion of world issues from day to day no end. Discussions about keakhiratan (eschatology) important to enhance and strengthen faith in the death of memory. "People are really smart people who are able to control themselves and work (multiply packed) for the happiness of life after death." (Reported by Ibn Majah and Thurmidzi of Syadad bin Aus).

Third, science is one of the aspects that make up the quality of religiousness (piety) in addition to the aspects of faith and righteous deeds. It is realized, the teachings of Islam, according to major world scholar, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the character "Mutakamil" (another tune). Science, for example, strengthen the faith, but without faith, science is less useful. Similarly, charities need science, but science without charity as fruitless tree alias futility.

Viewed from the perspective of Abu Darda ', the phrase, "knowledge is power" (knowledge is power) does not stand alone, but is bound by other forces, that is, faith in one hand and pious deeds on the other.

Here, science really be a force if he practiced and used as a means to gain glory in the afterlife. You see, as is known, how many people know, but how few people are doing what they know it. This is what makes friends of Abu Darda wept. Wallahu a `lam.
