Utilisation of Artificial Intelligence in Quranic Learning: Innovation or Threat?
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Al-Qur’an, digital learningAbstract
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has penetrated various sectors of life, including in the realm of Islamic education, especially learning the Qur'an. Various AI-based applications and platforms are now available to help the process of reading, memorizing, and understanding the Qur'an more quickly and efficiently. This study aims to critically examine the use of AI in learning the Qur'an, by exploring the potential innovations offered while analyzing the potential negative impacts that may arise. The approach used in this study is qualitative descriptive, with data collection methods through literature studies, content analysis of circulating AI Qur'an applications (such as Tarteel, Ayat, and Muslim Pro), and limited interviews with tahfidz teachers and practitioners of Islamic educational technology. The results of the study show that the use of AI brings various benefits, including accelerating the process of correct pronunciation (tashih tilawah), providing automatic reading correction, and providing contextual interpretations that are tailored to user needs. However, there are also quite significant concerns, such as decreasing dependence on teachers (murobbi), the risk of non-authoritative interpretation of meaning, and the potential for commercialization and manipulation of religious data. This article concludes that AI is an innovative tool in learning the Qur'an, but it is not a substitute for traditional scientific authority. Regulation, ethics of use, and supervision by Islamic institutions are needed so that AI remains a beneficial tool and does not cause deviations in understanding the Qur'an.
