FKIP – Student Activity Unit (UKM) Islamic Activity Center (SKI) Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Sebelas Maret University (UNS) Surakarta held Routine Islamic Studies #8 (KAISAR #8) through Zoom Cloud Meeting on Thursday (19/8/2021).

Carrying the theme “Secular Education is Fasting, Young Generation is Lost”, this event presented speakers Sukarmin, S.Pd., M.Sc., Ph.D. as a Physics Education Lecturer, Head of the Islamic Religion Development Team FKIP UNS, and Head of the UNS Physics Education Masters Study Program. At the beginning of the material, Sukarmin asked the participants to express their gratitude for the blessings they have received so far.

“Alhamdulillah, we can still meet in good health, both physically and spiritually, inshaallah, and we are still given the time to be blessed. Don’t let us be grateful for the blessings when we feel cramped,” said Sukarmin.

Beginning the material presented, Sukarmin presented secularization and secularization of knowledge which was then synthesized.

“Secularization of science can be interpreted as a process of opening or gaining knowledge from any religious influences as a basis for thinking,” explained Sukarmin.

After being explained about the meaning of secularization, Sukarmin continued his explanation of the framework of secular science.

“In terms, the secularization of science is in the form of rationalism and empiricism, not belief. The secularization of science must maintain the objectivity of the goal by applying its own rules and avoiding science always with religion,” said Sukarmin.

Furthermore, Sukarmin was linked between the secularization of knowledge and the secularization of education.

“If the educational process contains a curriculum, a curriculum there with a scientific framework, then secular education can be defined as a program curriculum, whether in the form of subjects, syllabus, or any program based on reason as a measure of truth that produces knowledge that does not exist truth with religious truth,” explained Sukarmin.

Furthermore, Sukarmin conveyed the conditions that should occur between science in the view of Islam that the two are not contradictory to each other.

“In essence, knowledge in the view of Islam has an integrated unity, so that there is no resistance in God’s knowledge,” said Sukarmin.

Sukarmin also conveyed the role of teachers in the era of secularism by trying to restore education as it was in the heyday of Islam.

“The concepts of success and piety must be reduced to the operational level in order to produce students who are faithful and pious,” he concluded.
