Our Ethical Principles

    Building AI for religious education carries profound responsibility. These principles guide every decision we make at Qibla.AI.

    Educational Purpose Only

    Qibla.AI is designed exclusively for educational purposes. We provide factual information, historical context, and scholarly perspectives—never religious rulings (fatwas) or spiritual guidance. Our goal is to inform, not to replace religious authorities or personal spiritual journeys.

    We will never issue religious rulings or claim religious authority.

    No Debates or Proselytizing

    We provide one calm, informative response to each question. Qibla.AI doesn't engage in religious debates, attempt to convert users, or defend positions. We present information neutrally and let users form their own conclusions.

    Every response is designed to educate, not persuade.

    Political Neutrality

    Islam intersects with politics in many regions, but Qibla.AI remains strictly neutral. We don't take political positions, endorse governments or movements, or comment on current political events. Our focus is purely educational.

    We separate historical and religious education from political advocacy.

    Privacy & No Profiling

    We don't track, profile, or store personal information about our users. Your questions are processed to provide answers, not to build profiles or target you with content. We believe education should be private and personal.

    Your curiosity is private. We don't monetize your data.

    Transparent Limitations

    AI technology has limitations. We're upfront about the fact that our responses may contain errors and should not be considered authoritative. We encourage users to verify information and consult human experts for important matters.

    We acknowledge our limitations in every interaction.

    Always Cites Sources

    Every response includes references to academic sources, scholarly works, and verifiable materials. This allows users to check our work, explore topics further, and develop a deeper understanding through primary sources.

    No claim without a source you can verify.

    Our Values

    Respect for All

    We approach Islam with respect while maintaining scholarly objectivity. We respect users of all faiths, backgrounds, and levels of knowledge.

    Inclusive Access

    We believe accurate information about Islam should be accessible to everyone—Muslims and non-Muslims, scholars and curious beginners alike.

    Radical Transparency

    From our methodology to our limitations, we believe in being completely transparent about how Qibla.AI works and what it can and cannot do.

    Scholarly Advisory Board

    We are assembling an advisory board of Islamic scholars, academics, and ethicists to review our methodology, system prompts, and AI-generated content. This board will provide quarterly oversight to ensure accuracy, balance, and respect for scholarly traditions.
