This study seeks to integrate the technical capabilities of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) with the strategic principles of clarification jihad, aiming to provide a transparent tool for clarifying decisions of intelligent systems, neutralizing misinformation, and enhancing the cognitive resilience of society. Adopting a problem-oriented approach, the study addresses two contemporary challenges: first, the “black-box” nature of AI systems; and second, the threat of cognitive warfare through the dissemination of fake news and information distortion. The research employs a qualitative-integrative and applied-developmental methodology. Data were collected through a systematic literature review, thematic analysis of the Supreme Leader’s statements from 2016 to 2025, and 10 semi-structured interviews with experts. Data analysis utilized reflexive thematic analysis and the design of a dynamic three-layer model. The findings resulted in a three-layer conceptual model: 1. Foundational Layer – clarification jihad: encompassing the mission of clarification, effective methods (explicitness, reasoning, audience analysis), and authentic religious content; 2. Intermediate Layer – Explainable AI: including technical-ethical capabilities (transparency, explainability, bias control) and technical requirements (indigenous knowledge bases, anti-bias systems); 3. Operational Outer Layer: featuring a human-centered approach, local infrastructure, and a management and evaluation system based on indicators and feedback cycles.The value-to-technology engine, aiming to translate clarification jihad principles into XAI requirements, alongside a combined jurisprudential-technical governance and feedback-driven lifecycle, transforms the clarification jihad concept from an abstract idea into an operational, value-oriented, dynamic, indigenous, and defensible system. This model provides an effective framework for countering cognitive warfare and advancing responsible AI within an Islamic discourse.
