“GODSPEED”
 ANSWER

1. is part of the first pillar of Islam besides prayer, zakat, fasting, and hajj. It is not just an
ordinary sentence because the meaning of shahada is a form of true monotheism and

5. Islam is the guidance of God, the religion of all the prophets, and the Holy Quran is the
main source of Islamic teachings, which is followed by nearly a quarter of the world's
population today. It encourages people to learn from history and draw comparisons with
the rise and fall of previous nations in order to face the future. The Quranic messages are
in line with all levels of scientific and civilizational development. The Quran encourages
man to develop the ability to think in balance with the ability to remember Allah.

6. The Quran describes the creation of the universe in six periods. "Verily, your Lord is
Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, then He dwells on the
Throne. He closed the night to the day that followed it quickly, and He created the sun,
the moon, and the stars (each) to obey His command. Remember, creating and ruling are
the right of Allah. Then who else if not Allah could have created the beautiful Big Bang.
The results of the explosion are now neatly arranged into material such as planets, stars,
galaxies in the universe. The explosion is not like a bomb explosion whose results are
destroyed. So Allah created this universe of course in order to take lessons for humans.

7. Hadith can lead humans from a superficial and primitive understanding to a broad and
deep understanding of nature and life, known as al-fiqh al-hadlari (fiqh of civilization). In
addition, it also contains teachings about al-wa'yu al-hadlari (civilization awareness).
Reflecting on the glory of the past. Science and civilization will develop rapidly if
Muslims pay attention to Sunnatullah and maintain the law of cause and effect.

8. related to the prayer command. Allah SWT says, "Indeed, prayer is a timed obligation
upon those who believe". (QS. 4/An-Nisa`: 103). "Recite the Book (Quran) that has been
revealed to you (Muhammad) and perform the prayer. Verily, prayer prevents from evil
and forbidden deeds." (QS. 29/Al-Ankabut: 45).

9. Knowledge in Islam has a very important position. It can be seen from several arguments
from the Quran and hadith that view knowledgeable people in the highest and noblest
position. The faith that a person has will be an incentive to study. In the guidance of the
Quran, science in Islam has its own meaning that not many other Muslims know. In
 addition, knowledge is very important for individuals to improve human dignity. With
knowledge, humans can also carry out their duties and obligations as servants of Allah on
this earth. Impact: Both of these have an impact on human beings, including: Islam and
Science both provide strength, science provides man with tools and accelerates the pace
of progress, Islam sets the purpose of man's efforts and at the same time directs these
efforts.

10. Provide an example on how to approach a source of science by using Rational, Empirical,
Intuition, and Revelation Ways?

1) Rational, which is knowledge derived from human reasoning. In this source of

knowledge, it is known that knowledge is the result of human thought.

2) Empirical, which is knowledge derived from human experience. This source of

knowledge is formulated based on human activities that like to pay attention to
the symptoms that occur around them. For example, the occurrence of rain on
earth. This event continues to repeat itself and with the same process of
occurrence. This is an attraction for humans, the question arises why it always
rains. From this experience, humans are moved to reason to research the causes of
rain.

3) Intuition, is a source of knowledge that is erratic and obtained suddenly.

Sometimes we as humans when faced with a problem, the brain will think very
hard to find a solution to the problem. The level of brain thinking is directly
proportional to the problem to be solved. The more difficult the level of the
problem to be solved, the harder the brain's performance in thinking to solve the
problem. Under certain conditions, sometimes the more we try to solve a problem,
the harder it is to find a solution. But in the opposite condition when we are not
thinking about solving problems and doing activities, we seem to think of a
solution to the problem. The solution comes suddenly to mind, without us even
scheduling it or trying to find it. Such a thing can be said to be
intuition.Revelation, or it can be said to be a non-analytic source of knowledge
because there is no thinking process from the human being.
