AI dan Perbicangannya Di Kalangan Warga Muslim


Teknologi AI kini menjadi sebutan ramai. Pemakaiannya pula boleh kata mencakupi seluruh bidang kehidupan. Sebut apa sahaja pekerjaan dan perkhidmatan pasti akan ada AI dibangun untuk membantu memudah kerja.

Bagaimana sumbangan dan impak AI kepada teologi? Ini satu topik yang turut mendapat perhatian ramai. Bagi persekitaran Muslim dan Islam memang sudah banyak artikel dan kertas kerja membincangnya. 

Berikut beberapa bacaan yang sempat dicari:

1. Islam and AI: Ethical considerations and the potential impact on Islamic societies. islamic studies journal 2024 - link. Antara rumusannya:

- This research also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between stakeholders in education, including educational institutions, ulama, government and society. With strong synergy, existing challenges can be overcome, and opportunities can be exploited optimally.

2. Professor Gary Bunt visits Indonesia to deliver key lectures on AI and Islam. wales university 2024 - link. Beliau menyampaikan kuliah bertajuk From Syeikh Google to Imam AI.

3. While embracing its benefits Muslim must be wary of artificial intelligence. al arabia news - link. Satu petikan artikel ini adalah:

Artificial intelligence (AI) brings many promising opportunities for Muslims, but it also contains unprecedented threats to the religion, by potentially undermining the sanctity of the Quran. Muslims must work proactively to ensure that they derive the benefits of AI, while protecting themselves from its dangers.

Kelebihan AI yang amat membantu adalah;

An AI bot can easily surpass a traditional scholar’s abilities by translating seamlessly into any language - including sign language - and by instantly explaining things in a different way as many times as is necessary for the inquiring Muslim to understand the answer to their question, while providing full references in case of a desire for further reading. This is just one of many possible applications, and we are probably yet to conceive of some of the best ones.

4. How should we use AI? The Islamic world may have an answer. leiden uni news 2023 - link.

Petikan:

Various PhD students are going to spend six months there. One is hoping to work at the Office of the Mufti in Singapore and to research questions such as: What motivates the staff there? How do they use big data in their everyday work? What ethical problems do they face? How, ideally, could it be used? Another will go on “data walks” with people in Singapore.

‘Other members of the project team are working on a sensitive microphone that picks up AI frequencies. They will then ask participants questions like: Did you know that AI technology is being used here? How does that feel? Can you tell us a bit about that? In short, we are going to ask, in all sorts of different ways: What does AI mean to you?’

Siapa Imam Mujahid (d.722M) dan Ibn Mujahid (d.936M)


Cabaran bila baca kitab atau apa saja buku agama berbahasa melayu termasuklah tafsir, kita selalu jumpa nama imam atau tokoh silam. Tapi tiada clue disertakan tentang siapa mereka. Contoh bila baca sebuah tafsir maka jumpa nama Mujahid. Siapa Mujahid ni? Ulama qirati ke, mufasirin ke, ulama hadis ke?. 

Baca lagi jumpa pulak kat bab lain atau ayat lain nama Ibn Mujahid. Bunyi nama macam sama. Mereka orang yang sama ke? Jawapannya bukan orang yang sama. Memang ada Imam Mujahid dan memang juga ada Imam Ibn Mujahid.

Jadi persoalan pulak siapa Imam Mujahid. Siapa Imam Ibn Mujahid?

Petikan wiki tentang Imam Mujahid (link):

The full name of Mujahid is Abu'l-Hajjaj Mujahid ibn Jabir al-Qari (642–722 CE) was a Tabi' and one of the major early Islamic scholars. His tafsir of the Qur'an (exegesis or commentary) is believed to be the earliest existing written exegetical source, although only fragments of it have reached us from the Umayyad era.

Mujahid bin Jabir hidup antara 21-104H atau 642-722M, adalah seorang ulama besar yang termasuk golongan tabi'in. Ia adalah seorang imam, ahli feqah, serta banyak meriwayatkan hadis dengan derajat periwayatan yang dianggap sangat terpercaya (tsiqah). Imam Mujahid menjadi rujukan dalam hal membaca (qira'at) dan memahami tafsir Al-Qur'an dan hadits.

Petikan wiki tentang Imam Ibn Mujahid (link):

The full name of Ibn Mujahid is Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn Mūsā ibn al-ʿAbbās Ibn Mujāhid al-ʿAṭashī, 859/860 – 936, was an Islamic scholar most notable for establishing and delineating the seven canonical Quranic readings (qira'at) in his work Kitāb al-sabʿa fī l-qirāʾāt. He was also notable for delivering the charge of heretical Quranic exegesis that reopened the trial of Mansur al-Hallaj, which ultimately led to his execution on the orders of the Abbasid caliph al-Muqtadir.

Siapa Imam Muqatil


Sesekali akan kita jumpa nama Imam Muqatil disebut dalam huraian sesetengah kitab tafsir.

Siapa Imam Muqatil?

Petikan dari mufti wilayah persekutuan - link:

Nama beliau ialah Abu al-Hasan Muqatil bin Sulaiman al-Balkhiy dan beliau merupakan salah seorang ahli tafsir yang hebat. Di samping itu, beliau merupakan perawi hadith munkar yang masyhur. Beliau meriwayatkan daripada al-Dhahhak, Mujahid, al-Zuhri dan Ibn Buraidah.

Menurut Mufti WP juga:

Muqatil bin Sulaiman merupakan salah seorang daripada tokoh yang mempunyai jasanya tersendiri. Tambahan pula, Muqatil bin Sulaiman merupakan salah seorang yang tidak diterima riwayatnya di dalam hadith sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan di atas. Akhirnya, semoga Allah SWT memberi kita kefahaman dan kekuatan dalam mencontohi sifat atau akhlak yang mulia daripada tokoh-tokoh Islam terdahulu. Amin.

Petikan wiki - link:

Abū-l Ḥassan Muqātil ibn Sulaymān Al-Balkhī (d.767 CE) was an 8th-century Muslim scholar of the Quran, controversial for his anthropomorphism. He wrote one of the earliest, if not first, commentaries of the Qur'an which is still available today.

Apa makna anthropomorphism? Jawapan: the attribution of human characteristics or behaviour to a god, animal, or object.

Anthropomorphism in Islam is the belief that God has human-like traits, emotions, or intentions. It is also known as tashbih in Arabic.
