Reimagining Islamic Learning: The Role of ArtificialIntelligence in Islamic Educational Transformation

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies is significantly transforming many fields
nowadays. Despite its pros and contras of the implementation, it is definitely bringing changes to education, including religious education. Tools such as machine learning, chat-bots, and augmented reality
(AR) offer new possibilities for enhancing the quality of learning by providing personalized and adaptive
content tailored to students’ needs and learning styles. Different from other educational system, Islamic
and other religion education needs careful consideration for technology application. This article examines both the benefits and the potential drawbacks of integrating AI into Islamic education, particularly
in relation to the development of religious competence and values. The research adopts a qualitative
approach through literature review, drawing data from scholarly articles, reports, and credible sources
to analyze the role and implications of AI in the context of Islamic Education. Findings indicate that
AI can enrich learning experiences, increase engagement, and offer innovative solutions for teaching
complex religious concepts. However, the study also highlights concerns regarding overreliance on technology, potential loss of human interaction in spiritual teaching, and ethical considerations in content
delivery. Therefore, while AI presents promising avenues for improving the effectiveness and reach of
Islamic education, its implementation must be accompanied by careful consideration of its limitations
and alignment with Islamic values. The study concludes that with thoughtful integration, AI has the
potential to significantly support and enhance the quality of Islamic Religious Education in the digital
age.
