Evaporasi dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an dan Ilmu Modern: Tinjauan Literatur Interdisipliner
Main Article Content
Abstract
Evaporation is a vital component of the hydrological cycle that supports ecological balance and the sustainability of human life. This study aims to explore the reflection of the evaporation process in Qur’anic verses through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates scientific perspectives and interpretative analysis. The method employed is a systematic literature review of various scientific sources as well as classical and contemporary tafsir, focusing on verses related to evaporation, cloud formation, and rainfall. The findings reveal that the Qur’an contains indications that align with scientific principles of evaporation, although these descriptions are generally symbolic and used to emphasize spiritual meanings such as divine blessings and the power of God, rather than providing a detailed scientific explanation. This indicates a gap in tafsir literature that can be addressed through a more explorative and scientifically grounded approach to Qur’anic interpretation. The study underscores the importance of integrating revelation and science as a foundation for developing a more holistic understanding of the universe. A thematic-interdisciplinary approach is recommended as an effective strategy for advancing education, Islamic propagation (da’wah), and the development of Islamic scientific thought.
