Abstract

Tawhid serves as the epistemological and spiritual foundation of Islamic education; however, its pedagogical implementation often becomes trapped in normative and dogmatic patterns, focused on memorization and lacking integration with scientific and practical approaches. This study responds to such challenges by proposing a conceptual model of tawhid-based education that integrates Biomimicry and the Engineering Design Process (EDP) as a pedagogical approach that is spiritual, scientific, practical, and applicable. The method employed is conceptual analysis, which involves literature review, conceptual mapping, and framework development. The study reveals that these three concepts form an epistemological bridge grounded in the value of divine mercy (Rahmat). Biomimicry serves as a means to discover the divine attributes (Asma’ wa Sifat) and to affirm the existence of God through the observation of natural structures and systems. Meanwhile, the Engineering Design Process (EDP) functions as an instrument for actualizing those divine attributes by refining human sensory potential into innovative, applicable, and solution-oriented creations as acts of devotion (Uluhiyah). In this context, human senses and intellect become divine channels for realizing God’s will through the human role as caliph (khalifah). This process fosters a profound spiritual awareness that all laws and creations submit to a singular divine system, rooted in the absolute authority of servitude to the One and Only God, Allah SWT (Rububiyah).
