Abstract
The digital transformation of Islamic education has opened new
avenues for Qur"™anic instruction, particularly in the domains of tahsin
(Qur"™anic recitation) and tafsir (interpretation) through e-learning
platforms. Among Generation Z learners, who are digital natives with
a strong preference for interactive and flexible learning environments
online learning has gained popularity. However, the phonetic precision
required in tahsin and the conceptual depth of tafsir present unique
challenges to effective delivery via digital platforms. This study aims
to explore the effectiveness and challenges of Qur"™anic e-learning by
analyzing the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies
and the learning characteristics of Gen Z. Using a qualitative
descriptive approach, data were obtained from academic literature,
platform analysis (such as Tarteel and Ngaji.ai), and documentation
from existing studies. Findings indicate that AI enhances learning
through adaptive features such as voice recognition, microlearning,
and gamification. Nevertheless, limitations persist in terms of
emotional engagement, spiritual mentoring, and the depth of
interpretative understanding. This research provides a novel synthesis
of digital pedagogy, AI technology, and Gen Z learning behavior in
the context of Islamic education. It recommends a hybrid learning
model that balances technological innovation with human mentorship
to ensure that Qur"™anic education remains comprehensive, spiritually
enriching, and pedagogically effective for the digital generation.
