Islam and science are two fields that have been traditionally viewed as incompatible, but there has been an increasing interest in exploring their intersection in recent years. Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science have emerged as a way to bridge the gap between these two fields and encourage critical thinking. This paper aims to explore interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science, including strategies, innovations, and best practices. The paper call the need for interdisciplinary approaches. It then examines different interdisciplinary approaches, such as integrating Islamic perspectives into science education and using science to explain Islamic concepts. One of the key strategies for teaching Islam and science is to provide a historical and cultural context for students. This can help students understand the development of science in Islamic civilization and how it relates to contemporary scientific advancements. Additionally, providing an Islamic perspective on scientific concepts can help students understand their compatibility. Another important approach is to use experiential learning methods such as field trips and lab experiments to help students understand the practical application of scientific concepts in the real world. This can be combined with traditional Islamic learning methods such as memorization and recitation to create a more holistic approach to teaching Islam and science. Innovative approaches such as the use of digital tools and social media can also be effective in engaging students and promoting dialogue. While, social media can be used to share scientific advancements in Islamic countries and highlight the contributions of Muslim scientists. Overall, interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science are essential for promoting critical thinking, dialogue, and a better understanding of the compatibility between these two fields. The strategies, finally, the paper can serve as a guide for educators looking to develop interdisciplinary approaches to teaching Islam and science in their classrooms.

Background: Increasing the level of resilience is one of the approaches to reduce the consequences of fire. Emergency resilience is one of the most important and practical concepts in crisis management that has been considered in recent years. Objectives: The current study was aim to identify and prioritize of indicators affecting resilience in the event of fire-induced emergencies in a combined cycle power plant using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). Methods: By reviewing the texts and semi-structured interviews with 15 experts, 20 effective indicators in fire resilience in the combined cycle power plant were identified and classified into three main groups based on the McManomen model. In the next step, the weights of the indices of each group were determined using the FAHP method. Finally, the first three indicators of each group were selected for final prioritization and pairwise comparisons were performed between them again. Results: The results showed that three indicators of structural stability (w=0.168), senior management awareness of roles and responsibilities (W = 0.145), risk perception and acceptance (W = 0.138) play the most important role. And logistics support index (0.069) is the least important in determining the level of resilience. Conclusion: By recognizing the effective indicators in determining the level of resilience against fire in emergency situations, decision makers could define and implement corrective and preventive measures to improve safety and increase resilience based on priority.
