<![CDATA[This study aims to reconstruct Islamic spirituality from a Sufi perspective in response to AI-driven disruptions. Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study examines classical Sufi literature alongside contemporary scholarship on AI, digital religion, and spirituality. The study collected data from primary Sufi sources and peer-reviewed academic publications and analyzed them using content and thematic analysis. The findings identify four major dimensions of spiritual challenges in the AI era: algorithmic authority, digital dependency, existential crisis, and technological dehumanization. In response, this study proposes the Sufistic Spiritual Intelligence Framework (SSIF), comprising five interconnected dimensions: tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the self), muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), muhasabah (self-examination), digital zuhd (detachment from excessive technological dependence), and ihsan (spiritual excellence). Together, these dimensions provide a conceptual framework for strengthening ethical awareness, self-regulation, reflective thinking, and human-centered engagement with AI. This study's novelty lies in integrating classical Sufi principles into contemporary AI discourse through digital zuhd and the proposed SSIF. The study contributes theoretically to contemporary Islamic studies by articulating a Sufistic approach to AI-related spiritual challenges and offers a conceptual foundation for spiritually responsible, humanistic engagement with AI.]]>
