Some people still think that studying philosophy is a path to heresy, this is what must be changed in the mindset of the people who think that philosophy should not be studied, even though philosophy and religion are interrelated. Whereas in ancient times people used philosophy as a way to truth and to God, for example when the prophet Ibrahim was looking for God, Prophet Ibrahim expressed his thoughts by analyzing the objects around him until he finally found a truth about God.
