KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia has taken a bold step toward becoming the Islamic world’s digital hub with the launch of Nur.AI, the world’s first Shariah-compliant artificial intelligence platform. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced that this innovation, developed by Zetrix AI Berhad, will not only strengthen Malaysia’s technology sector but also position the nation as a global leader in Islamic digital solutions.
Zahid emphasized that Malaysia’s reputation in halal certification, Islamic finance, and Shariah scholarship now extends into the AI era. He called on industries, educational institutions, and religious bodies to integrate Nur.AI, ensuring technology advances while remaining firmly rooted in Islamic values.
Nur.AI is designed to provide authentic Shariah-based guidance across diverse fields — from finance and healthcare to Quranic studies and Islamic philosophy. Zahid highlighted that this platform will help correct biases and inaccuracies found in Western AI systems, safeguarding the integrity of Islamic knowledge.
He envisions Malaysia as the global reference point for Shariah-compliant AI, with applications spanning mosque administration, zakat management, Islamic education, and international research collaborations.
