Harmonizing Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Psychospiritual Approaches to Enhance Bio-Psycho-Socio-Spiritual Well-Being

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming human lifestyles and revolutionizing healthcare service delivery. While AI applications like chatbots, autonomous vehicles, and robotic systems have achieved significant penetration across sectors such as finance, education, and conventional healthcare, their potential integration within the domain of Islamic Psychospiritual remains critically underexplored. This gap is particularly salient given the unique emphasis within Islamic traditions on holistic well-being, which encompasses inseparable biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Consequently, examining the compatibility, rationale, and scope for integrating AI within Islamic Psychospiritual becomes increasingly essential. This article directly addresses this imperative by investigating the compelling rationale for AI integration, driven by rising demand for comprehensive bio-psycho-socio-spiritual interventions aligned with Islamic Psychospiritual principles. It analyses the potential scope and functions of AI within this framework, specifically assessing its capacity to support the diagnosis, treatment, and promotion of holistic well-being consistent with Islamic Psychospiritual objectives. Employing qualitative research methodologies, the study uses content analysis to examine existing literature at the intersection of AI and Islamic Psychospiritual by identifying recent advancements, persistent challenges, and innovative possibilities in bio-psycho-socio-spiritual interventions. This includes exploring how advanced AI-driven monitoring and intervention systems could thoughtfully integrate with established Islamic Psychospiritual practices. The article’s distinctive contribution lies in bridging cutting-edge technological innovation with foundational Islamic Psychospiritual principles, proposing pathways for developing ethically aligned AI applications that respect and uphold Islamic guidance. The findings highlight significant potential for culturally sensitive and religiously congruent AI solutions within Muslim-majority contexts while also providing essential guidance for future research and development aimed at enhancing holistic well-being through this interdisciplinary synergy.
