Abstract:
Science has undergone a significant development, especially since the scientific revolution in the west. science in traditional times and Islam is very strong with the transcendent divine element. The metaphysical element in Islamic science is an important part that continues to be developed by Muslim scientists especially in the field of cosmology. Thought and religion at the time were two adjoining and even mutually reinforcing areas. The principle of classical science has really disappeared when the west is in the spirit of a revolution in the scientific revolution. This development of western thought has brought significant changes especially in the field of science, where they have secularized between religion (faith) and science. Nature that is considered sacral by non-modern humans, massively exploited by modern humans, especially with the help of technology. In this study, the authors wanted to examine the extent to which the influence of technology as well as social media as
a part of technology advances on life and beliefs of modern humans. This article would discuss the literature about the development of social media which related to religion. The results of reading from various sources, authors found that the development of modern science and technology very rapidly, really has influenced the beliefs of modern humans. Beside, social media as a part of sophisticated technology also are giving impact towards religious understanding.
