The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to the global education landscape, including Islamic education which is based on the formation of balanced individuals from intellectual, moral and spiritual aspects. This article aims to explore current trends in the use of AI in education and analyze its implications for the Islamic education system, particularly in terms of curriculum, pedagogy, the role of teachers, and ethical issues. Through a conceptual analysis approach based on the latest literature, this study found that AI has the potential to improve learning effectiveness through adaptive learning, smart content and data-based assessment. However, the integration of this technology requires changes in curriculum design, strengthening teachers' digital literacy, and the development of pedagogy that maintains the elements of tarbiah and human relationships in the educational process. In addition, several challenges have been identified, including the validity of digital religious resources, the protection of student data privacy, technology access gaps, and the risk of reducing human values in learning. In this regard, this article proposes the development of Islamic education policies based on technological ethics, continuous professional training of teachers, and the development of AI applications that are in line with the values of maqasid syariah. Overall, Islamic education's preparedness for the AI era requires a balanced approach between technological innovation and the preservation of Islamic educational values to ensure the sustainability of a relevant and competitive education system.
