Not an unusual statement when we say "That Islam has a strong tradition in science in the past."

In fact quite a lot of historians of science (science historians) who called golden age of Islamic civilization as a civilization in Science. All areas of science known at that time pioneered from among s. So far can we recalled the names of prominent modern islamic scientistin those days such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Rush, Ibn Khaldun, and many more to be mentioned one by one.

History has shown how the power of Islam in the field of science in the past have achieved glory. Surely we as a successor in the present struggle they need to learn from the history of the triumph which they had carved, as well as destruction of their natural history. What caused the great Islamic civilizations that once ruled the world is destroyed? Why we can only watch the history of glory? What should we do to restore the glory of Islamic civilization on this earth?.

Thus,
"follow the figures of the past islamic scientist, and be as Modern islamic scientist "

The devastation experienced great civilizations that ever existed in this world is the result caused by the failure of education in carrying out its functions. The more fragile education functions will be easily influenced by a new civilization that is more likely to be robust even replace altogether.

Education is like a double-edged knife that can analyze and form a human being both as individuals and as community, education and explored to enable the potential of the deepest and hidden in a sea of rich individuals will pearl and fish, without human effort it will remain the goods strange. Only with the efforts of men the pearls and the fish can be used as jewelry and meals. Neither the existing potentials in human beings.

Sense or intellectual potential when directed and developed proficiency will be able to give birth, calculating, remembering, thinking, creativity and others who may delivers human to the previous living standard is still to be an illusion. Although the potential is limited but the human intellect has been able to explore outer space and with advanced tools also human life easier. From this individual will explore and develop educational riches on the individual so that he can enjoy the results and so on for the benefit of the wider society.

While education directed to the public in the form of cultural inheritance from the older generation to the younger generation of cultural values for the identity of these communities is maintained and sustained.

Given the importance of education both in terms of individuals and society as described above, the educational function of three things:
1. Preparing young people for holding certain roles in society in the future.
2. Moving the science relating to the role of the older generation to younger generations, and
3. Moving the values that aim to preserve the integrity and unity of the people who form the necessary condition for the continuation of life of a society and civilization.

As for Islamic Education is built based on Islamic values, according to Islam, Islamic education is not only a function of three terms as described above, but amsih have added a function again, the fourth function is to look for happiness in the world and the hereafter, so that this fourth function relates closely with the three other functions and animates its implementation.

Modern islamic scientist must also participate in the call goodness, invites to the kindness and prevent the evil (amar ma’ruf nahi munkar) that all his soul that emanated from the spirit of monotheism. They assumed propetik duty to continue the tradition of the Prophet in the sense of inherited knowledge of the Prophet and the immediate jump in accordance with his efforts to the problems being faced by the public then critical attitude can be seen in his efforts beyond ijtihad and ijmad. Ijtihad is a serious business with the critical reasoning in solving problems at hand by following the light of the Qur'an and Sunnah that authentically and with the right analog. While ijmad is recontruction or crystallization of scientific traditions and customs as an effort to rebuild the moral values of ethics and the transcendental.
A intellectuals as people who run amar ma'ruf – nahi munkar, he should be able actualize Islam values in themselves and their families, so it can be a good role model for others.
