This study explores the intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the intellectual decline of the Muslim Ummah through a theological and eschatological lens. Employing qualitative textual analysis of Prophetic hadiths and contemporary scholarly literature (2020–2025), the paper identifies AI-induced cognitive passivity and the erosion of traditional Islamic epistemology. It critiques the overreliance on algorithmic solutions in place of scholarly reasoning, situating these trends within the Prophetic warnings of knowledge loss and ignorance preceding the Last Hour. The analysis reveals how excessive dependence on AI technologies fosters epistemological shallowness, diminishes critical engagement with classical sources, and accelerates the marginalization of traditional Islamic scholarship. Moreover, the ethical implications of AI-driven knowledge production raise concerns regarding authenticity, authority, and the sanctity of Islamic knowledge. By framing these issues against eschatological narratives, the study underscores the urgency of cultivating intellectual resilience and spiritual awareness. Ultimately, it proposes a balanced paradigm that integrates AI as a tool of facilitation while reaffirming the indispensability of human scholarship, thereby safeguarding the Ummah from intellectual stagnation and aligning technological progress with prophetic guidance.
