Abstract
Following the changing status of many Islamic universities to become institutions and universities in Indonesia, the
integration of Islam and science as a fundamental epistemological basis must be carried out, and its implementation
is colored by efforts to interpret the Koran from a scientific perspective (al-tafsīr al-'ilmī, scientific interpretation).
This article aims to analyze the thinking about the method of interpretation at the An Nur Yogyakarta Institute of AlQur'an Science from the classification of Ian Barbour's mode of integration of religion-science into natural
theology, theology of nature, and philosophy of process. This article concludes that this university develops the theology
of nature in the sense that the Qur`an through its paradigm and spirit is regarded to contain verses that explain many
aspects of science. The “Qur`anic paradigm” constitutes a world-view that, as percieved, unifies many schools of thought
and approach. Meanwhile, the “Qur`anic spirit” is moral teaching of the Qur`an that can be functioned as
psychological explanations and solutions of human’s conditions.

Abstrak
Menyusul berubahnya status banyak Perguruan Tinggi Islam menjadi menjadi institusi dan universitas di Indonesia, maka
integrasi Islam dan sains sebagai landasan epistemologis fundamental harus dilakukan, dan implementasinya
diwarnai dengan upaya penafsiran al-Qur`an dalam perspektif ilmiah (al-tafsīr al-'ilmī, interpretasi ilmiah). Artikel ini
bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemikiran tentang metode penafsiran di Institut Ilmu Al Qur’an An Nur Yogyakarta dari
klasifikasi mode integrasi agama-ilmu Ian Barbour ke dalam natural theology, theology of nature, dan philosophy of
proccess. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa universitas ini mengembangkan theology of nature dalam arti bahwa AlQur`an melalui paradigma dan semangatnya dianggap mengandung ayat-ayat yang menjelaskan banyak aspek ilmu
pengetahuan. “Paradigma Al-Qur’an” merupakan pandangan dunia yang, seperti yang dirasakan, menyatukan banyak
aliran pemikiran dan pendekatan. Sedangkan ”roh Al-Qur`an” adalah ajaran moral Al-Qur`an yang dapat
difungsikan sebagai penjelasan psikologis dan solusi kondisi manusia.
