INTEGRATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ETHICS MODEL THROUGH THE LENS OF MAQASID AL-SHARI’A

Abstract

This article examines the concept of Maqasid al-Shari’a as a fundamental ethical framework for regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The study employs qualitative research methods to analyse the historical development and theoretical foundations of Maqasid al-Shari’a. The analysis is based on scholarly works indexed in the Google Scholar database published between 2020 and 2025.

The authors explore the gap between modern technological advancements and spiritual values, proposing a three-step Islamic model of AI ethics as a solution. This model includes a mandatory assessment of societal impact, the implementation of compliance standards, and the establishment of an oversight council. By embedding principles of justice and respect for human dignity directly into the software development process, this approach transforms AI from a potential threat into a reliable tool that serves the public good without violating human rights and values.
