A Muslim’s Playbook for Using Artificial Intelligence | LATEST Khutbah by Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy

Artificial intelligence is changing work, school and family life faster than most people can adjust. Many Muslims are left asking whether to embrace it, fear it or avoid it altogether.

Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy presents a five-part guide to using AI as a Muslim, drawn from the reflections of Dr. Hatem El-Haj and built around the word QIBLA.

It starts with setting your direction toward the Hereafter and guarding the inputs that form your identity. From there it covers deciding in advance how much use is too much, and holding firm limits on cheating, on giving up the hard work of learning, and on replacing real friendships with artificial ones. It ends with treating AI as an amanah, a trust and a gift Allah will ask about. That means individuals using it to build a lasting legacy, and the Muslim community making sure it has a seat at the table where this technology is being shaped.
