Abstract

ABSTRACT The Covid 19 pandemic originally originated in Wuhan China, in a short time it spread throughout the world to Indonesia, almost all provinces and districts in Indonesia were detected by Covid-19, until now the number of positive patients has increased and claimed many lives. In the international world, in Indonesia in particular, the Covid-19 pandemic has not only become a medical problem, but has become a social, political, economic issue and debate between religion and science. The aim of this study was to see the discourses and contentious both science and religion in Covid-19 Pandemic especially in Muslim Comunity. This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Muslim community was divided into two groups, firstly believing that Covid-19 was a medical problem that could be explained scientifically, secondly, the Muslim community who considered Covid-19 to be a hoax and global conspiracy of big countries such as China and the United States. These two views then led to conflicts of religious and scientific discourse and became social conflicts. It can be seen from houses of worship that want to continue to perform congregational prayer rituals and the Muslim community who ask for no worship activities during the pandemic. This study found that the discourse and concept of science integration at the level of Islamic higher education has not reached religious leaders and the general public, so there is a dichotomy in addressing the problems between science and religion.
