About the Journal
AL-FIKR'AI is a hybrid brand: al-fikr (الفكر, thought or intellectual reflection) and AI (Artificial Intelligence). The name sounds modern and puts AI front and center, yet still carries the tradition of tafakkur and scholarly thought. The AI element is a modern technological identity, not a Qur'anic term.
وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
“…and they reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth…” (Qur'an 3:190–191)
