Abstract

This research explores the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Islamic worldview in digital economy, utilizing a qualitative literature analysis methodology. The core issue addressed is the profound impact of AI on shaping the Islamic perspective in the contemporary digital landscape. The study systematically reviews scholarly literature, articles, and relevant publications, focusing on the intersection of AI and Islamic values. Strict inclusion criteria are applied to ensure the quality, relevance, and contribution of selected resources. The research reveals nuanced insights into the complex role of AI in influencing the Islamic worldview. The findings highlight significant opportunities for growth within the Islamic context, particularly in the economic sector, while emphasizing the ethical considerations inherent in AI integration. The reviewed literature delves into the transformative effects of AI on traditional Islamic practices in finance, healthcare, and education, prompting a comprehensive examination of its compatibility with Islamic ethics. In conclusion, the research advocates for a balanced approach to AI integration into the Islamic worldview in the digital economy. The qualitative literature analysis methodology provides a holistic understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and socio-cultural implications arising from AI adoption in the Islamic context. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on integration of technology with religious values, emphasizing the need for ethical considerations in embracing AI within the rich heritage of Islamic traditions.
