<b>Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Discourse: Normative and Value Basis</b>

This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Islamic societies through a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analytical framework. The research employs a qualitative design combining literature analysis and a social survey to assess both theoretical perspectives and user experiences. Scholarly sources were collected from Google Scholar using the search term “Artificial Intelligence and Islam” to identify key themes in religion, ethics, education, and finance, using thematic coding. In addition, a purposive sample of 18 active AI users aged 18-45 participated in an anonymized survey comprising seven open-ended questions to capture perceptions, benefits, and challenges associated with AI use. The findings indicate that AI has significant potential to enhance Islamic education, financial systems, and access to religious knowledge, particularly through greater efficiency, personalization, and broader outreach. However, concerns about misinformation, unethical misuse, user mistrust, and technology dependency pose substantial challenges. The SWOT and TOWS analyses reveal that effective AI integration in Islamic societies requires ethical alignment based on Maqasid al-Shariʿah, collaboration between scholars and developers, and improved digital literacy. The study concludes that AI should be viewed as a supportive tool guided by Islamic ethical values rather than as a threat, emphasizing adaptation, governance, and responsible innovation for sustainable implementation.
