Abstract This research aims to confirm the support of Islam as a religion in the advancement of technology and innovation. The progress of science and technology has provided convenience and well-being for human life as well as a means for human perfection as a servant of God and His caliph. Allah has granted gifts to humans that are mutually complementary, namely the gift of religion (al imaan) and the ability of learning. The research is a descriptive qualitative study that applies a comparative method. Findings show, the Science and technology are two figures that cannot be separated. Science acts as a source of technology that provides the possibility of the emergence of various engineering inventions and ideas. The technology is the application of science that can be shown in tangible results and in a sophisticated way. The development of science encourages people to cultivate more advanced technology. In Islam, the philosophical foundations for developing science and technology can be studied and explored in the Quran and the hadith, as they cover many information that supports science and technology.
