Islam and cybernetics are not directly related fields, but they both deal with complex systems and communication. Cybernetics is a field of study that deals with the control and communication systems in machines, animals, and society. In this sense, one could argue that Islamic teachings and practices can be seen as a type of social control and communication system. For example, the Five Pillars of Islam, which include the declaration of faith, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and pilgrimage, can be seen as a set of practices that help to regulate the behavior and communication of Muslims within their community. Additionally, Islamic scholars and leaders have used various forms of communication such as sermons, lectures and Friday prayers to convey the teachings of Islam to its followers. While there is no direct link between the two fields, the principles of cybernetics can be applied to the study of the Islamic tradition as a complex adaptive system.
