<![CDATA[The development of Artificial Intelligence in the modern era has significantly transformed various aspects of human life, including Qur'anic studies and interpretation. Although AI enhances accessibility and efficiency in analyzing religious texts, it raises epistemological, theological, and ethical concerns regarding interpretative authority, validity of meaning, and the potential reduction of the spiritual dimension of the Qur'an. This study aims to examine the position of Artificial Intelligence within the epistemology of Qur'anic interpretation and to analyze its theological and ethical implications in Islamic thought. This research employs a qualitative library-based method using a critical hermeneutic approach analyzed through the framework of tafsīr epistemology and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The findings indicate that Artificial Intelligence functions as a complementary epistemic instrument capable of expanding linguistic analysis, intertextual mapping, and systematic processing of tafsīr data. However, Artificial Intelligence lacks historical consciousness, moral reflection, and intentionality of meaning, which are fundamental elements in Islamic interpretative epistemology. Therefore, interpretative authority remains within human agency as the interpreter who integrates revelation, rationality, and socio-cultural context. The utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Qur’anic interpretation must align with the principles of ḥifẓ al-dīn and ḥifẓ al-‘aql to preserve the sanctity of religious teachings and intellectual integrity in Islamic scholarship.]]>
