Biology is a branch of science that deals with living organisms and vital processes. This knowledge such as human creation is mentioned well throughout the Quran. One of the miracles in the Quran is that it describes accurately the embryonic stages during creation and formation of a fetus. Little did the recital knew about embryology, a medical terminology for human development in the mother's womb. Therefore, it is important to relate the science of Biology and Quran which meets the physical and spiritual needs in order to produce a balanced holistic generation. This concept is known as integration of naqli and aqli that combines the revealed knowledge and modern sciences. Therefore, this study aims to introduce and discuss a tool named as "Biokids" courseware that helps the children to understand more on Biology with the reflection of the integration of naqli and aqli knowledge. This study involved qualitative method, which is collecting data obtained by conducting a review of Quranic verses that is related to the area of knowledge. This effort is hoped to attract kids to learn more about Biology; as the interactive courseware provides new method of learning to people especially those at young age who would love to have more active learning environment. Future research may also be focused on designing and developing an interactive courseware for Biology subject in collaboration with Biology teachers and educational professionals.
