Abstract:
This paper explores stakeholders' readiness for adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the teaching
of Islamic Studies in Nigerian universities. As the educational landscape evolves, integrating AI
presents unique opportunities and challenges, particularly in specialized fields like Islamic
Studies. The research quantitatively assesses the perceptions, preparedness, and potential barriers
faced by key stakeholders, including educators, students, administrators, and policymakers.
Utilizing a structured survey methodology, data were collected from a representative sample to
evaluate technological infrastructure, training levels, and cultural considerations. Findings reveal
varying levels of readiness, with significant disparities influenced by these factors. The study
highlights the necessity for comprehensive strategies to enhance stakeholder readiness, such as
targeted training programs, increased investment in technology, and the development of a
supportive policy environment. Addressing these factors can significantly enrich the teaching and
learning experience in Islamic Studies, promoting academic excellence and innovative pedagogy
in Nigerian universities.
