Masjid Bilal to host a discussion on Islam and artificial intelligence

As artificial intelligence continues to transform education, workplaces, communication, and decision-making around the world, Masjid Bilal is inviting community members to explore the implications of these rapidly evolving technologies through the lens of faith. On Friday, June 12, 2026, following Maghrib prayers, Imam Mohammed Badat will lead a discussion examining the relationship between artificial intelligence, Islamic values, and the future of society. The session will address important questions facing Muslims in the digital age, including how believers should engage with emerging technologies, the opportunities and challenges they present, and how faith, ethics, and devotion to Allah can remain central in a world increasingly influenced by intelligent machines.

Organizers say the event aims to encourage thoughtful reflection on the role of technology in everyday life while highlighting the importance of maintaining strong spiritual and moral foundations amid rapid technological change. Community members are encouraged to attend and participate in what promises to be a timely and insightful conversation on one of the most significant developments of the modern era. The event will take place at Masjid Bilal following Maghrib prayers. Admission is open to all.
