The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers unprecedented opportunities while simultaneously raising profound ethical concerns, particularly regarding its potential impact on humanity, privacy, and justice. Within the Islamic worldview, technological ethics are intrinsically linked to the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah, which safeguard the comprehensive well-being of humankind. This study explores how the Maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah framework can serve as a normative foundation for developing AI ethics that align with Islamic values. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in an extensive literature review, the research finds that the five core principles of Maqāṣid ḥifẓ al-dīn (protection of faith), al-nafs (protection of life), al-ʿaql (protection of intellect), al-nasl (protection of lineage), and al-māl (protection of wealth) offer a relevant and comprehensive ethical compass for ensuring that AI development and application remain rooted in the preservation of human dignity, spirituality, and social justice.
