This paper examines the Artificial Intelligence (AI) application and its role in religious activities and spiritual ceremonies with special attention to how such practises relate to spiritual power in the modern world. The study uses the philosophy of analytic and phenomenological studies to assess the question of whether AIs can be identified as an ethical agent or a so-called digital prophet who can offer spiritual guidance. The paper additionally examines how the sacred power has changed in the digital era, especially in the pluralistic and religiously diverse cultures. The results suggest that AI can be used as a spiritual helper, but it is ontologically and epistemologically limited. This paper reiterates that there is a need to incorporate religious ethics when designing and implementing AI in the spiritual realms to make sure that its use conforms to the normative spiritual and moral values.
