Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Studies
Applying artificial intelligence within Islamic studies rests on distinguishing what an algorithm can perform from what remains reserved for the jurist's judgement. Algorithms handle sorting, ranking and pattern detection across hadith texts, chains of transmission and economic data; the legal ruling and the assessment of consequences remain a matter of human ijtihad. Three peer-reviewed papers develop this distinction across hadith, economics and psychological treatment.
Can artificial intelligence classify prophetic hadith?
Comparing traditional methods with AI techniques for preserving and classifying hadith shows these techniques processing vast bodies of text and chains of transmission at high speed. Challenges of chain accuracy, textual integrity and fidelity of transmission remain, since judging a transmitter draws on historical knowledge and critical assessment beyond textual matching. The study's methodology combines quantitative and qualitative analysis.
What is the ruling on using AI to predict gold prices?
The paper compares economic and Sharia perspectives on deploying neural networks and machine-learning algorithms for gold-price prediction, addresses the problem of speculation and gharar, and offers recommendations for applications compatible with Islamic finance. The question turns on whether gharar obtains in a high-accuracy probabilistic instrument.
How does AI serve addiction rehabilitation?
Machine-learning analysis of addict behaviour enables individually tailored treatment programmes and opens the use of intelligent robotics and virtual reality in psychological and behavioural support. The paper is an applied study in smart treatment technologies, co-authored with Assist. Prof. Dr. Ali Dawood Khalaf Al-Janabi.
What is the technical basis of this research?
The technical basis is Harvard University's CS50AI certificate in Artificial Intelligence with Python (2025), completed through twelve applied projects, alongside certification as an information security and cybersecurity specialist, hands-on computing experience since 1999, and six published Android applications.
