Isaiah, a prophet in the 8th century BC in Jerusalem, has an important role in Jewish and Christian religious traditions. He began receiving divine revelations around 742 BC when the Assyrian Empire expanded its territory westward. Isaiah understood the political and foreign issues facing the Jewish kingdom, including relations with other countries such as Egypt, Ethiopia, and Assyria. Although the reigns of Jeroboam II and Uzziah were marked by economic prosperity, social justice was often overlooked. Isaiah firmly rebukes the rich and officials who oppress the poor, and he calls for the restoration of justice. In addition to being a prophet, Isaiah was also active in political affairs, believing that divine messages should play a role in political decisions. Although his advice was often ignored, he nevertheless warned of the consequences of sin and announced future arrivals promised in prophecy, including the coming of Immanuel. Methodologically, Isaiah received a divine call in the 8th century BC, facing moral and political challenges in Judah, and through that vision and call, he demonstrated faithfulness and the power of faith in conveying divine messages.

The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has significantly influenced guidance and counseling services, particularly through the use of chatbots, e-counseling, and digital-based psychological analysis systems. This study aims to analyze the collaboration between AI technology and counselors’ interpersonal skills within the context of Islamic counseling. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data sources were obtained from various relevant journals and scientific articles accessed through Google Scholar. Documentation techniques were applied for data collection, while the data were analyzed using descriptive-analytical and thematic approaches. The findings reveal that AI can enhance counseling services through greater efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility without limitations of time and place. In addition, AI assists counselors in managing data, identifying clients’ problems, and providing quick initial responses. Nevertheless, AI cannot fully replace the role of counselors because it still lacks the ability to deeply understand empathy, build interpersonal relationships, provide emotional support, and comprehend spiritual values that are essential in Islamic counseling. Therefore, the implementation of hybrid counseling, which combines AI technology with human counselors, is considered more appropriate. In this model, AI functions as a supporting tool or co-counselor, while counselors continue to play the primary role in establishing therapeutic, humanistic, and religious relationships with clients. This study emphasizes that the integration of AI technology and counselors’ interpersonal skills is an important strategy in creating modern, effective, and human-oriented counseling services.

Ezra means helper. Ezra was a prophet sent by God to lead the Israelites after the exile. After the exile ended, the Israelites intended to build a temple for God. They face many challenges and obstacles, but when God is with them everything can be overcome easily. Just like us today, when we surrender to God everything we want, God will suffice. Just as in building God's house of worship, the Israelites were so enthusiastic when they wanted to build God's house, we too as God's congregation should have the same commitment as the Israelites in building God's house. Because that is one form in which we glorify God and how we give what is best for God. We must emulate the Israelites with great enthusiasm. When they laid the first stone in the construction of God's house, they were very happy, they praised God, sang and played musical instruments such as the harp, ciracap and also the trumpet. Even among all the shouts of cheers and songs of joy, there were also those among them who were crying, moved by what they had been through so far. Such great enthusiasm enabled the Israeli people to do this and overcome all the challenges in their lives.
