Abstract

Humor and jesting constitute an inherent aspect of human life as social beings, including in the daily practices of Nabi Muhammad. Nevertheless, the understanding of humor in Islam is often perceived in a partial manner and is at times regarded as being at odds with the values of seriousness and piety. Therefore, a comprehensive study grounded in authoritative sources is necessary to understand how Islam, through the example of the Prophet, positions humor within human life. This article aims to examine the forms, contexts, and underlying values of the Prophet’s humor and laughter from the perspective of hadith. The methodology used is a qualitative approach with a thematic method towards the hadiths narrated in the hadith books and sīrah nabawiyyah. The analysis is conducted by considering the context of transmission, textual meanings, and the ethical implications embedded within each narration. The findings reveal that the Prophet’s humor was consistently grounded in truthfulness, gentleness, and educational purpose. His jesting never involved falsehood, mockery, or humiliation; rather, it functioned as a medium of da‘wah and a means of strengthening emotional bonds between him and his companions. This study demonstrates that humor in Islam, as exemplified by the Prophet, is not merely a form of entertainment, but also a reflection of noble character that harmonizes spiritual seriousness with human cheerfulness.

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of hadith education in Indonesia by highlighting the transformation of learning methods, the shift in scholarly authority, and the role of technology, from the sorogan and bandongan traditions to the use of e-learning and AI tutors. Hadith education has historically relied on a direct relationship between teacher and student, emphasizing the transmission of sanad (chain of transmission), scholarly authority, and the internalization of knowledge. However, the development of digital technology has presented new forms of hadith learning that are more open, rapid, and personalized, while simultaneously contradicting traditional patterns of authority. Through a qualitative approach with historical-conceptual analysis and a literature review, this article demonstrates that the transformation of hadith education in Indonesia is not linear, but rather a continuous process of adaptation between tradition and technological innovation. AI tutors and digital platforms, while offering efficiency, have not been able to completely replace the authoritative, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of hadith education. These findings clarify that the relevance of hadith in modern discourse lies not in the rejection of technology, but rather in the ability of the hadith education tradition to critically adapt technology without losing its epistemic foundation and scholarly authority.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine how generative artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming religious authority and da’wah (Islamic propagation) communication ethics in Indonesia, the country with the world’s largest Muslim population. Specifically, it seeks to analyze the implications of AI for the production, circulation, and legitimacy of religious knowledge and guidance within the Indonesian Islamic public sphere. Method: The study employed a systematic literature review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol. Forty peer-reviewed and Scopus-indexed sources published predominantly between 2021 and 2026 were analyzed using thematic synthesis. The review focused on five analytical domains: institutional AI adoption within Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah, the epistemic reliability of AI-generated religious guidance, algorithmic mediation and fragmentation of religious authority, ethical tensions in AI-mediated da’wah communication, and comparative global perspectives on digital Islamic authority. Results: The findings indicate that generative AI simultaneously functions as an enabling and destabilizing force in Indonesian Islamic communication. On the one hand, AI enhances the reach, personalization, and efficiency of da’wah communication. On the other hand, it destabilizes the traditional isnad-based model of religious legitimacy, introduces risks of misattribution and doctrinal oversimplification, and creates new forms of algorithmically mediated religious influence operating outside conventional institutional accountability structures. The study further identifies a significant asymmetry between the rapid pace of AI adoption and the comparatively slow development of ethical and regulatory frameworks governing AI-mediated religious communication. Conclusion: This study proposes the concept of the algorithmic ulama to describe the emerging hybrid configuration of human and machinic religious authority, and develops a preliminary ethical framework for AI-mediated da’wah grounded in Islamic communication ethics (akhlaq al-i‘lam) and mediatization theory. It contributes a theoretically integrated, context-specific account of AI’s implications for Islamic communication scholarship and offers practical recommendations for religious institutions, media regulators, and communication educators in Indonesia.
