Prof. Mahfud MD: The Danger of Scientists
Meanwhile, the former Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, Prof. Mahfud MD, in short tausyiah advised the Indonesian cendikian and thinkers to imitate what has been done by Adnan Ganto.
"Mr. Adnan is an example of scholars who devote themselves and their knowledge to the nation and state. This should be imitated by many parties because nowadays in Indonesia a lot of emerging skilled artisans who work on order, "said Mahfud MD.
Scholar and Scientist orders intended by the former Minister of Defense era President Abdurrahman Wahid, is a scientist who gave and issued an opinion to order. In fact, in the concept of Islamic scholars should be able to combine fikir and Zikir.
"In fact, the scientist is not merely rely on his ability to think but also presents a dhikr in his heart. This is what will be able to make a scientist who ulil albab, the scientists who are not merely thinking but also remembrance or remembrance of Allah, "added Prof Mahfud.
Therefore, Mahfud MD advised on the importance of presenting the dhikr while producing fikir fikir, because it will keep the scientists and intellectuals from the fikir berimpang fruit.
"Well Mr. Adnan has done that, giving an objective opinion, not praising but not also dropping. He mapped and studied the problem objectively to provide solutions. This is what causes his position is not replaced even though the regime continues to change, "continued Mahfud MD.
On the occasion, Prof. Mahfud revealed that the scientist called Ulul Albab was basing the development of science and technology on at least 3 pillars.
The three pillars are science and technology and religion is an unchotomous unity. In Islam, science is a part of religion. Furthermore, Islam and the development of Science and Technology accepts completely rationality but rejects rationalism.
"This is dangerous, how the western world directs science into rationalism. It's as if something absurd is unscientific. Remember, Islam accepts the whole truth, even the progress of the Islamic world because science and technology is respected, but western understanding is slowly shifting it, this is dangerous, "Mahfud's message.
Pillar when, Science and technology should side with the benefit of the people. Although the methodology is correct, Iptek should not be developed if there is no guarantee that the developed thing is safe for the community.
"If it is not on the side of society, then science and its development is too secular will cause damage. The flow of positiveism which says that science and technology is neutral, this is the cause of the outbreak of world war first and second. Therefore, science and technology should be developed more human, so now emerging humanities sciences. "
"Adnan Ganto has proven, his knowledge is devoted to goodness, not science that can be purchased on order.
Therefore, let us continue to strive to become a person who is ulil albab, who always berzikir and thinking. Well our task is how to build Ulil Albab in us, "pungkas Prof. Mahfud MD.
