On Islam and AI/Data Science In “Beyond Automation: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Islamic Education in Higher Education” (Jurnal Ilmu Pendidikan dan Sains Islam Interdisipliner), Muhammad Hazmi Firdaus (Institut Agama Islam Hamzanwadi Pancor) analyzes “how AI is reconfiguring Islamic higher education and what this transformation means for the classical Islamic distinction between ta'lim (instruction or knowledge transfer) and ta'dib (ethical and spiritual formation)... The analysis argues that AI's value for Islamic higher education lies not in automating religious authority but in augmenting the human relationships, spiritual mentorship, and chains of transmission (isnad) that have historically anchored Islamic knowledge.” FIELD GUIDE TO ISLAMIC LAW ONLINE: RECENT SOURCES The Field Guide to Islamic Law Online is an ever-growing collection of links to hundreds of primary sources and archival collections around the world, online.
