What Islam can contribute to the global AI ethics debate
As Pope Leo XIV works to bridge the growing chasm between technology developers and religious communities, he would do well to look eastward — toward Islam's rich intellectual tradition that sees no conflict between faith and scientific innovation. And in truth, we would do well to look at ourselves. While many Western tech hubs often treat religion with suspicion, the Arab-Islamic world possesses precisely the ethical architecture needed to guide artificial intelligence toward justice, accountability, and human dignity. From its very first revelation, Islam made the pursuit of knowledge a sacred duty. The Qur'anic command 'Iqra'— 'Read!'— enshrined learning as worship. In the House of Wisdom in Baghdad and the observatories of Samarkand, Muslim scholars fused scientific progress with moral responsibility, guided by hikmah (wisdom), 'adl (justice), and raḥmah (compassion). These were not abstract ideals but actionable virtues; la darar wa la dirar — no harm, no reciprocating harm — demands technologies that prevent bias and protect the vulnerable; shura (consultation) ensures inclusive design; and taʿaruf (mutual knowing) bridges cultures instead of dividing them. Where Silicon Valley wrestles with AI's ethical dilemmas, Islamic jurisprudence offers clarity through the maqasid Al-Shari'ah — the preservation of life, intellect, dignity, property, religion, and lineage. These objectives align seamlessly with global technical standards while grounding them in a deeper moral and spiritual foundation. And while these principles are rooted in Islam, they resonate with the moral teachings of all Abrahamic faiths and ancient traditions of our region — values of justice, mercy, human dignity, and stewardship that have shaped Arab civilization for centuries. It is these shared values, more than any single creed, that can inspire and guide the ethical governance of AI. Just as the first Islamic Golden Age united faith and reason to advance the arts and sciences, today's AI-powered era can usher in a Platinum Islamic Age. Mona Hamdy This is not a call to nostalgia but to renewal. Just as the first Islamic Golden Age united faith and reason to advance the arts and sciences, today's AI-powered era can usher in a Platinum Islamic Age — a renaissance where data, algorithms, and machine intelligence are governed by fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, human agency, beneficence, non-maleficence, inclusivity, sustainability, and wisdom. The architecture of the current digital world has been built largely on Western norms. The coming age does not need to inherit these defaults. With our values, language, and ethos, we can help design a future where even in a world of quantum processors and models with trillions of parameters, the human soul remains safeguarded. This vision is already taking shape. In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Data and AI Authority's Islamic Governance Framework for AI — enshrined in the Riyadh Charter on Artificial Intelligence in the Islamic World — sets standards for relevance, flexibility, sustainability, fairness, inclusion, human dignity, and robust oversight. It is more than national policy: It is an exportable global framework. With the Riyadh Charter as its foundation and initiatives such as Humain as its engine, the Kingdom can lead the world toward a future where innovation and integrity advance together. Our region can once again become the global epicenter of values-driven innovation — convening technologists, policymakers, scholars, and civil society to create enforceable standards, certify ethical systems, advise governments, and train the next generation of innovators in human-centered design. Our AI centers can be the guiding compass of AI ethics, ensuring that we do not lose sight of the truest technological north — reminding the world that the human being, and all wonders of God's creation, outshine any digital work of our own hands. The Arab world must claim its place at the heart of AI ethics — and the world cannot afford for us to stay silent. Guided by our shared moral heritage, we can shape a future not ruled by cold machines or fractured societies, but enriched by technologies that uphold dignity, protect the vulnerable, unite communities, and sustain the planet. Let us lead an era where progress is measured not only in speed or scale, but in stewardship, creativity, and the flourishing of all — where Arab minds and hands, driven by wisdom and compassion, direct technology's purpose and set the course for a world where man and machine grow together in service to humanity. • Dr. Mona Hamdy, PhD, is a teaching fellow of applied ethics at Harvard University and founder of Anomaly.

Dubai hosts world's largest Pakistan Independence Day gathering, embassy says
ISLAMABAD: About 60,000 people attended Pakistan's Independence Day celebration at the Dubai Expo City, making it the largest such gathering in the world, the embassy of Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates said on Thursday. Expressing gratitude to the UAE government, envoy Faisal Niaz Tirmizi acknowledged their support in making this year's Pakistan Independence Day celebrations 'unprecedented in scale.'

UAE air traffic climbs 6.2% as airports handle 75.4m passengers in H1
ABU DHABI: The UAE's civil aviation sector posted robust growth in the first half of 2025, with passenger traffic climbing 5 percent to 75.4 million, up from 71.7 million a year earlier, according to the Emirates News Agency or WAM. January was the busiest month, handling more than 13.7 million travelers across the nation's airports. The surge in passenger and cargo activity reflects a broader global rebound in aviation, as Middle Eastern carriers leverage their strategic location to capture long-haul transit traffic between Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Air traffic movements increased 6.2 percent to 531,000 operations in the first six months, compared to nearly 500,000 in the same period of 2024. Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait, Mumbai, and Bahrain ranked among the top five most active routes. Cargo volumes also strengthened, rising 4.74 percent to more than 2.2 million tonnes. National carriers handled 67 percent of total freight, underscoring the UAE's dominance in regional logistics. The expansion of UAE-based airlines — with 15 new destinations launched across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East — further fueled the sector's momentum. Abdullah bin Touq Al-Marri, minister of economy and chairman of the General Civil Aviation Authority, said the UAE is reinforcing its international and regional aviation standing through 'record-breaking growth.' 'This growth stems from innovative national strategies that have elevated our competitiveness and leadership in a vital sector that now plays a central role in economic development, trade, tourism, investment, and job creation across aviation-linked industries,' Al-Marri said, reported WAM. He added: 'The performance indicators for the first half of 2025 demonstrate the sector's resilience and sustainability, as well as the competitiveness of our airports, national carriers, and air traffic management. Aviation serves as a critical bridge connecting the UAE to the world and is a key enabler of our long-term economic goals.' Al-Marri noted that the UAE would continue expanding its air connectivity through advanced legislation, open-market policies, and infrastructure development. Saif Mohammed Al-Suwaidi, director general of the General Civil Aviation Authority, said the aviation sector is on a steady growth trajectory. 'These positive indicators reflect the sector's strong infrastructure and the unified efforts of all partners, from airport operators and airlines to air traffic controllers,' Al-Suwaidi said. He expressed pride in the consistent growth in passenger and cargo volumes, citing ambitious development projects aimed at supporting this expansion. The current combined capacity of the UAE's airports now exceeds 160 million passengers annually. Al-Suwaidi reaffirmed confidence in the sector's ability to sustain its pivotal role in boosting the national economy, driving tourism and trade, and strengthening the UAE's role as a key regional and global air transport hub. The new routes include cities in Russia, the Czech Republic, and Poland, as well as Armenia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and Cambodia, among others. These additions complement the existing network, bolstering the country's status as a global aviation hub.
