Abstract
This study examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence in revitalizing and applying classical mystical texts to the social life of modern humans. The research method is analytical-descriptive, based on the theoretical framework of computational hermeneutics and machine learning, with sampling focused on Rumi's Fih

Ma Fih . The research demonstrates that AI, through four main mechanisms, is capable of bridging the gap between the abstract and intuitive concepts of the mystical world and the tangible issues of contemporary life. It can emerge as an intelligent intermediary for understanding texts, facilitating access and application of concepts, creating multi-sensory interactions, and fostering the formation of learning communities based on the intellectual framework of today's user.



Finally, it is argued that AI, not as a replacement but in the role of an interpretive interface, can transfer texts such as "Fihi Ma Fihi" from a purely academic standing to the realm of individuals' everyday lives, transforming them into powerful tools for enhancing individual and social resilience in facing the challenges of the modern world.
