Science is considered a theory of understanding the universe that uses philosophical foundations to determine what counts as reality, based on empirical findings. The main objective in this study is to identify how the ontology of science forms the basis of scientific theory, whether in physics, biology, or social sciences, and how it relates to recent developments in technology and scientific research. Based on this research, it seeks to explain the ontology of modern science in terms of the philosophical foundations behind scientific knowledge. Philosophy of science, ontology, and science are intertwined in the effort to understand reality. In the modern era, the main challenge in philosophy and ontology is to maintain the essence of human existence in the face of rapid technological developments, such as the metaverse. Critical efforts are needed to maintain a balance between technology and human values.

This study examines the integration of Islam and science through the thoughts of key figures, namely Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Al-Ghazali, and Ibnu Khaldun. The main focus of this research is to understand their approaches to the relationship between religion and knowledge, highlighting key concepts such as iman (faith), Islam, and ihsan (excellence). This approach is explained based on primary sources such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and qoul ulama, which provide the philosophical and theological foundation for understanding the integration of both. Using a qualitative approach, this research aims to explore how these perspectives shape a balanced view between the scientific and spiritual realms within the context of Islamic thought. The results of the study show that although each figure has a different viewpoint, they agree that science does not conflict with Islamic teachings; rather, it should be understood as a means of drawing closer to God. This research is expected to contribute to the development of dialogue between religion and science, as well as provide insights into the development of Islamic education in the modern era.

Science plays a crucial role in human life as it helps us understand the universe through observation, experimentation, and analysis. In education, science not only teaches scientific concepts but also fosters scientific attitudes and critical thinking skills in students. To make science education more meaningful, interactive, and relevant, a deep understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) is essential. This study aims to explore the understanding, benefits, and application of scientific concepts in the teaching and learning process to shape students' scientific attitudes. Using a literature review method, this research gathers information from various relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that science encompasses elements of philosophy, sociology, history, and psychology that support scientific understanding. By understanding NOS, students will view science as a process of knowledge discovery, rather than merely a collection of facts. The application of science in education also impacts students' ability to apply knowledge in practical contexts, enhance their analytical skills, and adapt to societal changes.

Science is always associated with general science or science that studies worldly matters only. Some Muslims think that science has nothing to do with Islam or in other words Islam does not need science. If the assumption of the Islamic community about this still exists then Islam is in the danger zone, because actually Islam needs science. Islam and science are not two opposing camps, but two very solid camps. If we look deeper, the Qur'an presents many verses about science. The verses of the Qur'an about science range from 750 to 1000 verses. In fact, the first revelation that came down to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, namely the command to read. In the Qur'an it has been explained that paying attention to the universe which means also studying science is part of reading the verses of Allah SWT. Meanwhile, the results of research conducted by scientists about the universe do not contradict the Qur'an which was revealed 1400 years ago. If science and technology are only controlled by non-Muslims, then Muslims will be considered weaker and lower in the field of science. Therefore, Islam needs the next generation of people who love and understand the contents of the Qur'an and are not blind to science, especially science. Islam will flap its wings more in the field of science and technology so that a generation of IMTAQ and IPTEK is formed, namely a generation of Muslims who have faith and piety and master science and technology. Science is also important in the development of Islam because science brings knowledge that is very important in future generations and science also plays an important role for all people in this world. In the context of building the quality of the Islamic generation, there are several important aspects that need to be considered, namely;

Knowledge in the field of science is increasingly developing day by day following environmental conditions and human thinking. So science, especially in the field of science, should not be separated from religion. In the Al-Qur'an there are many verses that explain the process of human creation, such as in Surah Al-Hajj verse 5, Surah Al-Mukmin verse 67, Surah Az-Zumar verse 7, Surah Fathir verse 11, and many more. . someone can observe humans through biological observations. In the Qur'an, humans are often called "Basyar", where the word basyar is often compared to the biological characteristics of humans. Fingerprints are polygene inheritance. Based on Galton's system, fingerprints can be divided into 3 basic patterns, namely: curved shape or Arch (A), figure shape or Loop (L), and circle shape or Whorl (W). Finger tendrils can be widely used as a means of identifying a person, biological aspects. Human fingerprints vary from one person to another, even if they are identical twins. Apart from that, it can also be a feature of fingerprints and none of them are exactly the same because they are different from one individual to another.

Islam, the religion which is in accordance with human nature, Sharia not only encourage people to study science and technology, but also build a civilization, even set his people to survive and save both the world and in the hereafter. Furthermore that all activities include reviewing and developing science and technology can be a valuable worship even it can be a fight value on the side of God. At issue until now, is still the perception in the wider society, that religion and science are two entities that cannot be met. Both have their respective areas, separated from each other, both in terms of formal object-material, research methods, criteria of truth, the role played by scientists. This is due to the notion that science and religion both have different ways of approach, experience, and these differences are a source of debate. The problem that arises now is how to do the integration between science and religion through Islamic religious education, and what kind of integration to be conducted?

Science and technology have developed along with human development in this universe. The history of human civilization requires efforts to manifest values ​​within the scope of their own perspective. The above facts can be proven with strong support for the purposes of science and technology itself, these are values ​​and include cultural views formed by humans themselves.

Islamic science and Western science are two rich scientific traditions with a long history and significant contributions to science. Despite some similarities, they also have fundamental differences in methodology, epistemology, and goals. Islamic science flourished during the Middle Ages, driven by intellectual curiosity and the urge to understand God's creation. Muslim scientists combined the revelations of the Koran with observations and experiments to produce advances in a variety of fields, including astronomy, mathematics, physics, optics, and medicine. They emphasized the importance of a systematic scientific method, using hypotheses, experiments, and observations to test theories.Western science, on the other hand, emerged in Europe during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. Western science is characterized by its emphasis on rationalism, empiricism, and secularism. Western scientists challenged the authority of religion and tradition, and focused on developing more rigorous scientific methods, such as controlled experiments and testable hypotheses.

 Science and technology have evolved in tandem with the development pattern of human civilization in this universe. The history of human civilization requires the effort of the manifestation of values within the scope of their own perspective. The above statement can be proven by a strong backing with the meaning of science and technology itself, it is a value and includes cultural views formed by human beings themselves.

Zam-Zam water is water that appeared during the period of Prophet Ismail AS., long before the birth of Prophet Muhammad SAW. Zam-zam water has received direct testimony and justification from the Prophet Muhammad as the best water on earth which contains many benefits. Explicitly, the properties of Zam-Zam water are contained in the hadith, which is considered authentic according to the scholars. This article, in an integrative-interconnective manner, tries to examine the existence of Zam-Zam water through a hadith perspective and a scientific perspective. From a hadith perspective, zam-zam water will be studied using several hadith critical methodologies, both in terms of the text of the hadith (matn) and the transmission of the narrator (sanad). Meanwhile, through a scientific approach, Zam-Zam water will be researched more deeply so that a scientific fact can be found that the substances contained and the molecules that are arranged in Zam-Zam water are better than other substances or water molecules. In this article, this will be proven, among other things, by the results of research by Masaru Emuto, a water expert from Japan, regarding the power of water in general, the magic of Zam-Zam water, and the beauty of the crystals that Zam-Zam water forms. So, the Prophet Muhammad’s justification for Zam-Zam water is embodied by the truth of modern scientific research facts. So it can be said that the agenda to reconcile religion and science is not in vain.
