Artificial Intelligence as a Transformation of Islamic Education: Opportunities and Challenges in Shaping an Intelligent Muslim Generation

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in various educational fields, including Islamic education. This study aims to explore the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into Islamic educational settings and its role in shaping an intelligent Muslim generation. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through literature review, expert interviews, and case studies of institutions implementing AI in Islamic learning environments. The findings indicate that AI offers significant opportunities, such as personalized learning, interactive content, and enhanced administrative efficiency. However, challenges remain, including technological infrastructure limitations, ethical concerns, and the risk of reducing human-centered learning values. The study concludes that while AI has the potential to revolutionize Islamic education, careful planning, ethical guidelines, and teacher training are crucial to ensure that the technology supports, rather than replaces, human educational roles. The results highlight the need for a balanced integration of AI that upholds Islamic values while fostering intellectual and spiritual growth among students.
