BANDARLAMPUNG - Vice President KH. Ma'ruf Amin expects a combination of science and technology (Iptek) with faith and piety (Imtak).
"The existence of a mosque in the middle of the campus is very important so that there is a combination of science and technology (Science) with faith and piety (Imtak)," he said, while inaugurating the Safinatul Ulum Mosque at UIN Raden Intan Lampung, in Bandarlampung, quoted by Antara, Friday, December 24.
Ma'ruf Amin also hopes that on campuses, especially those that generally have mosques, because this is important so that the mastery of science and technology is accompanied by faith and piety.
Thus, he continued, students at each campus are expected to master not only natural law (takwini) but also sharia law (tasyri'i).
"Between the mastery of _nidzom takwini_ (natural science) and nidzom tasyri'i (shari'a science), so both are controlled. If the takwini is a matter of how to build prosperity, in a mosque that has taklifi (religion), so, nidzom rabbani ( God's law), both takwini and taklifi can be united in campus, to produce quality human resources," he said.
The goal, he continued, is none other than to create quality Indonesian human resources (HR).
"I think we really hope that later on all (Islamic) campuses there will be mosques, especially in public universities," he said.
