Sharia-Guided Artificial Intelligence for Ethical Transformation in Modern Education

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has accelerated the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational systems worldwide. Despite its benefits, concerns about ethics, algorithmic bias, transparency, and value alignment remain significant, particularly in faith-based educational institutions that emphasize moral and spiritual development. This study aims to propose a Sharia-Guided Artificial Intelligence (SGAI) model that supports ethical, accountable, and value-oriented transformation in modern education. The research employs a mixed-method approach by combining qualitative analysis of Islamic educational principles and ethical frameworks with quantitative evaluation of AI-supported governance practices in educational institutions. Data were collected from educators, administrators, and students within Islamic educational environments to assess the feasibility, acceptance, and integrity of AI implementation within a Sharia-compliant framework. The results indicate that AI systems guided by Sharia principles can improve curriculum personalization, administrative efficiency, transparency, and institutional accountability while reducing algorithmic bias and maintaining ethical values in educational processes. Furthermore, the proposed model encourages responsible data governance, ethical decision-making, and inclusive learning environments supported by intelligent technologies. The integration of intellectual, ethical, social, and spiritual dimensions also strengthens holistic educational development. In conclusion, embedding faith-based ethical intelligence into AI-driven educational management can foster sustainable, trustworthy, and socially responsible innovation while providing a practical framework for value-aligned AI adoption in education.
