By analyzing English language dynamics in these religious contexts, the research identifies pathways for AI to support sustainable education goals through tailored language learning and teaching strategies. Findings highlight the potential of AI to bridge language gaps, foster cultural sensitivity, and contribute to sustainable development in multilingual educational environments. Implications for AI implementation in similar contexts are discussed.
