Leadership in Action: A Muslim Theologian on the Future of AI in Medicine
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, Shaykh Amin Kholwadia—founder and president of both Darul Qasim and the Al Amin Ethics Institute—was featured as a global expert at the Chicago Muslim Medical Alliance (CMMA) Education Seminar, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Medical Specialities.
This gathering brought together leading voices in healthcare and technology—experts on AI and several high-ranking physicians, including a key sponsor who underwrote the entire event.
A Theological Lens on Artificial Intelligence
In his presentation, Islamic Perspective on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Medical Specialities, Shaykh Amin offered a rare and much-needed theological lens on the rapidly evolving world of AI. Speaking as a Muslim theologian, he positioned guidance (hidāyah) at the top of the epistemological prism, reframing how technological advancement should be viewed through the moral and ethical compass of Islam.
His clear articulation of the philosophical underpinnings of AI—and its implications for medical ethics—brought new light to a discussion often dominated solely by scientific and technical voices. Attendees praised his scholarship and depth, noting how seamlessly he bridged faith and futuristic innovation.
Impact Beyond the Podium
While his insights captivated the audience, what moved many most was the spiritual ripple it created: a highly influential physician in attendance expressed deep interest in embracing Islam after hearing Shaykh Amin speak. May Allah guide him and make it a reality. Āmīn.
Leadership in action is not just about leading—it’s about inspiring hearts and minds.
Through his work at Darul Qasim and the Al Amin Ethics Institute, Shaykh Amin continues to pioneer conversations that fuse cutting-edge science with timeless Islamic wisdom.
