Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of education brings complex implications for academic governance, particularly in the context of Islamic education, which is based on moral and spiritual values. On one hand, AI offers efficiency and innovation in learning; on the other hand, concerns arise regarding the degradation of academic ethics, cognitive dependency, and the loss of spiritual orientation in the scientific process. This study aims to analyze the problems associated with AI use, review policies implemented in educational institutions, and formulate a direction for reconstructing AI usage policies grounded in prophetic values. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that analyzes 10 scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 on AI and Islamic education. In the identification phase, 150 articles were collected, and the final dataset comprised the 10 most representative articles that met the methodological criteria. The research findings indicate that the policy on the use of AI in Islamic educational institutions remains reactive and control-oriented, and has yet to address ethical and academic spiritual aspects. This study recommends a value-based policy reconstruction grounded in amanah (trustworthiness), sidq (honesty), fathanah (intelligence), and tabligh (conveying knowledge) to cultivate a prophetic academic culture that positions AI as an epistemic partner in strengthening students' intellectual and moral development. Key words: Artificial Intelligence, Islamic education, academic ethics, educational policy, prophetic values.
