<![CDATA[The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational systems has fundamentally altered how knowledge is delivered, assessed, and personalized, raising profound questions about the spiritual and psychological dimensions of learning that algorithmic systems are structurally ill-equipped to address. This library research study investigates the role of Islamic counseling grounded in the Qur’anic principle of tawazun (balance) as a necessary and substantive counterbalance to the mechanistic logic of AI-driven education. Using a systematic content analysis of peer-reviewed literature, Islamic pedagogical texts, and international policy documents on educational technology, this study argues that tawazun offers not merely a cultural supplement but an epistemological corrective to the efficiency-first paradigm underlying most AI educational tools. The findings reveal three critical imbalances produced by AI-driven education: the suppression of intrinsic motivation through algorithmic reward structures, the erosion of relational pedagogy, and the neglect of students’ spiritual formation. Islamic counseling, through its integration of muhasabah (self-reflection), tawakkul (reliance on God), and ukhuwah (solidarity), is demonstrated to restore these dimensions in ways no AI system can replicate. This paper contributes a theoretically grounded model the Tawazun Counseling Framework (TCF) for integrating Islamic guidance within AI-augmented educational environments, with implications for curriculum designers, school counselors, and policymakers in Muslim-majority educational institutions.]]>
