Among the
reasons for the six leaders now to fight UIN IAIN to UIN is:
1. Changing the status of the institute to
the University, they can develop a program of study and faculty they can
develop courses and faculties non religious or general faculty that allows
graduates IAIN / UIN gain wider access to search for jobs.
2. To integrate the knowledge of religion
and general knowledge, which for dichotomous in nature with implication the undesirable.
Dichotomous
grouping between science universally recognized there are three kinds, namely
knowledge sciences, social sciences and sciences humanities .. the other hand,
the Muslims developed the science of religion Islam with Ushuluddin branches
of science, the science of Islamic sciences tarbiyah, proselytizing science and
science culture.
Given these
two types of knowledge then there was a dichotomy between science and religion.
Dichotomous grouping such broad impact, and ultimately realized by the Muslims
that they less of other people.
Efforts to
Integrate Social Science and religion "Science" Changes IAIN
to UIN denotes a more advanced consciousness process. During this time the
campus IAIN considered that produce new religious teachers, substitute imam of
the mosque, takmir, and performers recitation. This stigma perspection when Alumni
IAIN not develop because the certificate produced is not standard demanded by
the market. We can not deny that, the desire in every graduation is their
orientation can get a decent job.
UIN
formation is part of an effort to integrate a variety of science to eliminate
the dichotomy between public science and theology. This was considered
necessary in an effort to provide basic ethics of Islam for the sake of the
development of science and technology and at the same time also trying to
implement the teachings of Islam professionally in social life.
Changes IAIN to UIN is the result and the efforts of Muslim scholars long and tiring starts from the Academy of the Department of Theology (ADIA) from the year 1957 to 1960. Later in the year 1960-1963 turned into one part of the faculty at IAIN Yogyakarta. Finally IAIN Syarif Hidayatullah (which began in 1963) turned into UIN with the Presidential Decree No. 31, 2002.

The
development of Islamic higher education with the changes in the IAIN to UIN,
also the opening of the Prodi-general at IAIN Prodi, gave rise to new hope for
the emergence of a paradigmatic alternative to the development of social
sciences in Indonesia. Large discourse integration of religion and science soon
emerged as a central theme in the development of social sciences IAIN / UIN.
Social science which has already developed a strong assumption of the separation of religion and science (differentiation), certainly can not answer the needs of our top integrative scientific paradigm. On the other hand, the idea of a sort of paradigm of Islamitation of social sciences is raising more complicated problems that can actually inhibit the development of social sciences. Therefore, may be required of other more promising paradigm to address this issue.

The
development of technology and science, including social science is so rapid,
have a considerable influence on human consciousness neighbor religious
phenomenon. Religion to the present era can no longer be approached and
understood only through the theological-normative approach solely. But more
than that. the paradigm of understanding of religion leads to openness
and transparency in the association in the world.
There is a
fear for some individuals, groups, changes UIN an event secularism against
religion faculty, maybe they have a reason. But for me, it is not strong,
because this change a problem on religion in the face of social problems. If we
may quote the explanation that say by al-Afghani, changes a must for
openness, to accept what is in give by Western modernity.
The main purpose is not imitation, but the master of science and technology the West as well as reaching the legal difference (diversity law), but remained on the circle "back to the Qur'an and Sunnah". Modern society, objective scientific paradigms built by metodologi based paradigm of empirical and real. While religion as things that express subjective feelings and emotional and moral judgment.
Both have their respective roles, but the most important is that both should not be mixed. The fact that the objective views of science, whereas Sufism, emotional, and moral values into the fields of culture and religion. two that has significance in life is to dialogue, so that there is harmony in the cosmos and cosmic manage this.

Along the
way, there are still pros and cons in this change. Questions appear
Islamic of science is it necessary?
