• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how communities access, interpret, and circulate knowledge, and religious communities are no exception. Chatbots powered by LLMs are beginning to reshape authority, pedagogy, and everyday religious practice in Muslim communities. We analyze the landscape of LLM powered Islamic chatbots and how they are transforming Islamic religious practices e.g., democratizing access to religious knowledge but also running the risk of erosion of authority. We discuss what kind of challenges do these systems raise for Muslim communities and explore recommendations for the responsible design of these systems.

  Religion as a socio-cultural system prescribes a set of beliefs and values for its followers. Unlike gender, which says little about our values, religion prescribes a set of beliefs and values for its followers. Major religions in the US and European countries are represented with more nuance. Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism are strongly stereotyped.

  Large language models (LLMs) struggle to model diverse preferences across cultures, demographics, and communities. We propose Modular Pluralism, a modular framework based on multi-LLM collaboration for pluralistic alignment. We evaluate Modular Pluralism with six tasks and four datasets featuring questions/instructions with value-laden and perspective-informed responses.
