AI FROM AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper explores Artificial Intelligence (AI) from an Islamic ethical perspective by drawing upon the Qur’an, classical tafsir, and contemporary scholarship. Rather than treating AI solely as a technological or theological issue, the paper highlights how Islamic principles—justice, accountability, remembrance (dhikr), reflection (fikr), and gratitude (shukr)—can guide the ethical development and use of AI. Using a descriptive research design, the study synthesizes global concerns about AI, including bias, manipulation, and autonomy, with Islamic teachings on morality, responsibility, and societal well-being. The objective is to propose a framework that integrates AI ethics with Islamic epistemology, offering guidance for Muslims and contributing to broader discussions on responsible AI.
