Abstract

This study is to identify the level of user acceptance of the 'SmartSolat' mobile application among converts in Selangor. The SmartSolat mobile application is an application to learn prayer that was developed specifically as a support reference material to help converts in praying. This application covers the method of performing ablution perfectly and doing obligatory prayers through interactive methods and real-time simulation. A pilot study with descriptive analysis is easy to do to understand the study environment. The three main factors of this pilot study are related to the content of the ablution module, the content of the prayer module and usability. The results of the study found that the average satisfaction and acceptance of users was as much as 86.7% percent. This shows that this application is well received by converts in Selangor. The next study will be extended to converts throughout Malaysia and also to children who have just started learning to pray at the pre-school level.
