This paper explores the intersection between Islamic theologian Islamic discourse-and contemporary debates on artificial intelligence (AI), focusing specifically on the classical dilemma of free will and determinism. While Ilmu Kalam traditionally deals with metaphysical questions regarding human agency and divine will, the rise of AI presents new challenges and opportunities to revisit these theological arguments. reflects on the implications of autonomous AI systems for moral responsibility and ethical accountability within an Islamic framework. If AI can simulate or even surpass human cognitive functions, questions arise about whether these systems can possess a form of will, and if so, how theology can accommodate such phenomena. The discussion aims to provide an integrative view that bridges classical theology with modern technological paradigms, drawing on both historical texts and contemporary scholarship
