Hence, this study generally intends to obtain a scientific research mould based on Islamic understanding in order to carry out research on Islam. Specifically, the mould would be examined based on Ibn al-Haytham’s role in scientific research and the analysis carried out from the fardu ‘ayn perspective. This study had explored the congruency between the role of Ibn al-Haytham’s scientific research and the fardu ‘ayn concept by using the content analysis method. The discussion is divided into three main studies. The first study discusses the fardu ‘ayn concept and its application. The second study examines the role of Ibn al-Haytham’s scientific research while the third study analyses the congruence of the two previous discussions to build a scientific research mould for studying Islam. The findings showed that three scientific research moulds could be built for conducting research on Islam. The first is tawhid as the core of the scientific research. The second is fiqh which creates a scientific research dimension while the third is morality or akhlaq which gives life or a positive image to scientific research. ER -
