Abstract

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly impacted various sectors, including education. This research explores the role of AI in enhancing Islamic education through e-learning platforms. The study investigates how AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, virtual tutors, and voice recognition are being integrated into Quranic studies, Hadith learning, Fiqh interpretation, and Arabic language teaching. The research also addresses the ethical considerations of using AI in Islamic contexts, ensuring that AI systems align with Sharia guidelines. A mixed-method approach was adopted, involving surveys, interviews, and data mining from existing AI-powered Islamic educational platforms. The findings, presented through extensive tables and figures, reveal that AI-based applications have improved accessibility, personalized learning experiences, and learner engagement in Islamic studies. However, challenges such as limited datasets, lack of scholarly involvement in AI system development, and concerns over religious accuracy remain critical issues. This study provides practical recommendations for developing more culturally and religiously sensitive AI tools to support the global Muslim community in accessing quality Islamic education
