Abstract

Prayer is one of the pillars of Islam that must be carried out by every Muslim. However, there are still many
people, especially children and converts, who do not understand the correct way to pray. Digital technology, especially
Android-based mobile devices, has great potential in helping the process of interactive religious learning. This study
aims to design and develop an Android-based prayer learning application using the Research and Development (RnD)
method. The development model used adapts the Borg and Gall model which is simplified into five stages: needs
analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. This application is equipped with prayer reading
material features, prayer movements in the form of animation, audio guidance, and interactive quiz-based evaluation.
Blackbox testing shows that all application functions run as expected without functional errors. The results of trials on a
number of respondents also show an increase in understanding of prayer procedures. This application is considered
effective as an independent learning media that supports Islamic religious education digitally. This study contributes to
the development of Islamic educational media and can be used as a reference in developing similar applications for
other religious education.
