RATIONALE
There are two terms of Falak being
used which is Falak and Falak Syar’ie. Falak literally
means and widely known as Astronomy while Falak Syar’ie can be
defined as Islamic Astronomy. Unfortunately, there were some confusion and
misunderstanding about the term of Falak Syar‘ie. Some said that Falak
Syar‘ie is only focusing on everything which relates to Ibadah among
the Muslims.The narrowing scope of Falak Syar‘ie can be seen
as it is only being used to determine prayer timing, establishing
taqwim/calendar and Qibla’ direction. In reality the current research on Falak
Syar‘ie has been done from different thought and perspectives among
the academician, and astronomy practitioners such as Islamic Jurisprudence,
astronomy, physic, social sciences, and ethnography.
Today, different
perspectives have been carried by different academicians, and astronomy
practitioners which related to the area of Falak Syar‘ie. Among the Falak
Syar‘ie they were emphasizing the research and studies on astronomy in
the view of Shariah or Fiqh which is
different from the astronomy whereby they are more focusing in terms of theory
or practicality in the view of Science.
This conference attempts to
seek the answers to these problems, as well as to create the integration
between the Islamic Scholars and Astronomy Scholars on the knowledge of Falak
Syar‘ie, from the current level to a more highly productive level.
Through this conference it
is hoped to be able to blend new, innovative and practical minds, unlike the
common stereotype, reiterative and rhetorical ones. Thus, quality papers and
discussions expected from this conference will be successfully produced.
