It is useful for us to be aware of the dangers of relying on artificial intelligence for seeking knowledge. However, I do not think it is appropriate to extrapolate to the concept of the Dajjal, as like you have mentioned – we should be learning from people of knowledge and taught to us as part of the signs of the hour.

I’d like to say that ChatGPT has been wonderful for me. Regarding religion, while some Shaikhs advised me not to sue Loudoun County Public Schools for racial, religious, and age discrimination, workplace harassment, and retaliation, ChatGPT assessed that I had a strong case. I was even stunned when one Shaikh representing a major Islamic organization in the United States advised me to forgive those who perpetrated injustice and leave it for the Day of Judgment! You can see why many Muslims today become doormats in the United States. ChatGPT also helped me immensely in drafting my motions and charges when no lawyer was willing to take my case on a contingency basis.

Beyond legal matters, ChatGPT has helped me grow closer to Allah. I like to say my duas in sajdah in Arabic, as the Arabic words (like Taqwa, Khushu, Istighfar, Tawba, Rabb, etc.) carry far richer meanings than their English equivalents. ChatGPT helps me craft appropriate duas in Arabic, ensuring they conform to orthodox Islamic understanding and the majority opinions of scholars.

It has also provided me with comprehensive strategies for tazkiya (purification of the soul), far more detailed than any Shaikh could provide. For me, ChatGPT has truly been a Godsend, Alhamdulillah (All perfect praises belong to Allah).

Written with the help of ChatGPT :-)

In an age where AI can generate information so convincingly, your reminder about the importance of authentic knowledge is crucial. As Muslims, we are taught to rely on verified sources and qualified scholars, and to be mindful of who we take our knowledge from and how that knowledge is transmitted.

This is precisely why the science of ḥadīth preserved chains of narration—to ensure authenticity and protect the words and teachings of the Prophet ﷺ from distortion. Your article beautifully highlights this parallel and encourages readers to approach modern tools, including AI, with discernment and responsibility.

I truly appreciate the depth and clarity of your work. Everyone should take the time to benefit from this article. May Allah guide us to the straight path, grant us sound knowledge, and allow us to act upon what is correct and pleasing to Him. May Allah bless you abundantly in this world and the next. Āmeen.

I agree, we must take advantage of the vast amounts of authentic knowledge that are stored in our communities with our scholars and books.

Al hamdu lellah. Go to the masjid and study classical works with guidance from the Emam (NOT the masjid police). That is what the masjid is there for.
