To address this objective, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to examine scholarly work related to the use of AI in academic writing. An initial search identified 199 documents, from which 32 studies were retained after applying predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria based on methodological rigor, relevance, and thematic alignment with the research focus. The review integrates systematic literature review procedures with bibliometric and narrative synthesis approaches to examine publication patterns, leading countries and institutions, dominant theoretical perspectives, and emerging research directions in this field. The findings indicate that AI tools increasingly support academic writing through functions such as language generation, editing assistance, idea organization, and improved research efficiency. At the same time, literature highlights important ethical, methodological, and pedagogical challenges that accompany the growing adoption of AI technologies in academic environments. The analysis further identifies several research gaps, particularly in relation to academic integrity, institutional governance, and the development of AI literacy among students and researchers. In response, the study proposes a set of practical recommendations aimed at promoting responsible and effective use of AI in academic writing. These include the development of structured training programmers, clearer institutional guidelines on ethical AI use, and stronger collaboration among educational institutions to enhance responsible technological integration and support the advancement of scientific research.

The research aimed to identify the role of virtual classrooms on developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students from teachers’ perceptions in UAE. To achieve that, a quantitative design (descriptive-analytical approach) was used, and a questionnaire consisting of 30 items, distributed equally into two domains: the importance of employing virtual classrooms and the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education, was applied to a random sample of 467 Islamic education teachers. The results showed that the degree of importance of employing virtual classrooms in teaching Islamic education was (high), and the level of the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students was (high). The results also showed no significant difference in the degree of importance of employing virtual classrooms in teaching Islamic education due to (gender, educational stage, academic qualification, and years of experience) variables. Moreover, the results showed a significant difference in the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students due to the academic qualifications variable in favor of PhD and MSc, and experience variable in favor of less than 10 years’ experience, while no differences appeared due to (gender and educational stage) variables. According to these finding, the researchers recommend the necessity of continuing to employ virtual classrooms in teaching, even in normal circumstances, because of their prominent role in developing reflective thinking.

Penyelewengan dalam pengamalan tarekat telah mengakibatkan salah faham yang mencemarkan imej Islam dan institusinya. Tarekat sebagai jalur pendidikan rohani dalam Islam, memerlukan pendekatan tajdid bagi menjamin ketulenan dan kesesuaiannya dengan tuntutan zaman. Kajian ini meninjau pemikiran tajdid Haji Muhammad Fuad bin Kamaludin dalam Tarekat Sayyid Ahmad bin Idris khususnya dalam konteks pendidikan Islam. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui analisis kandungan terhadap karya dan dokumentasi berkaitan, dapatan menunjukkan tiga asas tajdid utama: kepentingan mengenali mursyid tarekat, penekanan terhadap keilmuan berasaskan Al-Qur’an dan Al-Sunnah, dan pemeliharaan ketulenan amalan tarekat. Kajian ini mencadangkan model pembaharuan dalam pendidikan kerohanian Islam yang berteraskan tarekat sahih sebagai wahana pembentukan sahsiah dan transformasi sosial. Implikasinya menunjukkan bahawa pendekatan tarekat yang berpaksikan ilmu dan sanad sahih boleh diinstitusikan dalam sistem pendidikan Islam kontemporari secara bersepadu dan berstruktur.

This study aims to investigate the existence of a relationship between the practice of augmented reality and motivation. The descriptive survey method was used on a sample of 310 students, 165 of whom were females and 145 of them were males. A questionnaire was conducted to determine the extent of augmented reality practice in education. Islamic education consists of five dimensions, namely, the use of augmented reality by Islamic education teachers in Islamic education, readiness to use augmented reality in Islamic education, benefit from augmented reality in Islamic education, employment of augmented reality in Islamic education, and the ability to deal with difficulties. To investigate augmented reality in Islamic education, a questionnaire was conducted to measure students’ motivation level, consisting of four dimensions: perseverance, goal setting, ambition, and perceived competence. The arithmetic means were used to calculate the level of each of the practices of augmented reality and motivation. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to calculate the association between AR practice and motivation. The study found that the level of augmented reality practice was medium, while the level of motivation was high. Also, a positive relationship was found between each of the augmented reality and motivation with a statistical significance at (α < 0.05), and the study also found that there are differences between the sexes in favor of females in both the practice of augmented reality and motivation with a statistical significance at (α < 0.05). There are statistically significant differences between grades in favor of the eleventh grade in practicing augmented reality at (α < 0.05). In the end, the researcher recommended conducting more research to determine the effectiveness of augmented reality in teaching Islamic education and urged designers to design applications that use augmented reality in teaching Islamic education effectively.

In driving a globally competitive and dynamic public administration, Malaysia is working to improve its administrative system by implementing value-based transformations. Integrity is a core value in ensuring that civil servants work fairly, honestly, professionally, and with trustworthiness, without engaging in misconduct or corruption. To enhance performance and shift towards integrity-based management and administration, it is necessary to develop civil servant modules based on spiritual values. Therefore, this study is conducted to analyse the need for sufism elements in the development of integrity modules in the public sector in Malaysia. The first objective of the study is to identify the concept of integrity modules in the context of civil servants. Secondly, it is to determine participants’ perceptions of the assessment of integrity courses from the module’s aspect. Third is to analyse the need for sufism spiritual elements in implementing integrity modules. A total of 12 informants involved in the study include speakers and officers participating in integrity courses. Data were obtained using qualitative methods and analysed descriptively using Atlas.ti 8.0. The study findings indicate that the sufism aspect emphasizes spiritual education, which contributes to the development of individual integrity. Additionally, spiritual development is a core component of sufism compared to existing theories or models that do not focus on this aspect. Therefore, prioritising the rabbaniyyah aspect, derived from al-Quran, is essential compared to other aspects. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating sufism-based spiritual values into the training and development of civil servants’ model. This study aids in combating corruption by promoting transparency, responsibility, and integrity in all government administration, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), specifically Goal 16, which advocates for peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development.
