Evaluating the Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Religious Education

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become enormously prominent in various industries in recent years, completely changing the way humans accomplish their daily activities, especially the educational process. While integrating AI technologies in educational settings might present new potential, there are drawbacks and challenges as well, particularly in the Islamic religious educational context. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to assess the viability of incorporating AI into Islamic religious educational settings by doing a thorough SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. The chapter explores the benefits, drawbacks, opportunities, and risks of implementing AI in the context of Islamic education. Thus, the factors, both internal and external, that may have an impact on the effective integration of AI in Islamic educational environments are evaluated. Policymakers, educators, and other educational stakeholders may make well-informed judgments on the utilization of AI technologies in Islamic religious education by recognizing these analytical aspects.
