Abstract

This study examines the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and Islamic ethics through the lens of Maqasid Al-Shariah (the objectives of Islamic law). As AI technology continues to advance rapidly, there is an increasing need to develop ethical frameworks that align with Islamic principles. This research proposes a comprehensive framework for AI development and implementation based on the five essential objectives of Shariah: preservation of faith (din), life (nafs), intellect (aql), lineage (nasl), and wealth (mal). Through analysis of contemporary AI applications and Islamic legal texts, this study demonstrates how Maqasid Al-Shariah can provide ethical guidelines for AI development while ensuring compliance with Islamic values. The findings suggest that this framework can help address critical ethical concerns in AI development while maintaining harmony with Islamic principles.
