UUM Islamic Centre receives three Islamic apps from university R&D

The Islamic Centre at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) has officially received three patented Islamic applications, the result of research by UUM scholars aimed at strengthening digital education and da'wah through technology. The handover ceremony saw the Director of the Islamic Centre, Mohd Yusnaidi Md. Sabri, accepting e-Musafir Go, Ladys Fiqh, and Hawa. These applications are digital adaptations of published works, designed to make Islamic knowledge more interactive and practical.

e-Musafir Go simplifies understanding the laws of worship during travel, adapted from the "Easy Musafir" book. Ladys Fiqh is based on "Fiqh Wanita: Edisi Haid, Mitos & Suci," focusing on women's religious jurisprudence, particularly concerning menstruation. Hawa adapts the "Solat Clinic Edition for Women" module, emphasizing prayer and fiqh for Muslim women. The research project was led by Noraziah Che Pa from the School of Computing (SOC), collaborating with other UUM academics.

The digitization of Islamic content not only facilitates access to knowledge but also serves as a da'wah medium that is closer to the digital generation.

Mohd Yusnaidi stated that these applications reflect the academic community's confidence in the Islamic Centre's role as a leader in delivering knowledge responsive to technological advancements. "The digitization of Islamic content not only facilitates access to knowledge but also serves as a da'wah medium that is closer to the digital generation," he said. UUM's Islamic Centre is committed to ensuring these innovations benefit the university community and the wider public.

Noraziah added that the development combined expertise in research, digital technology, and Sharia content to create user-friendly platforms. This approach makes Islamic knowledge delivery more inclusive, accessible, and relevant to current needs without compromising accuracy. The synergy between researchers and the Islamic Centre reinforces the university's agenda of advancing knowledge and instilling good character through beneficial innovations.

This approach opens avenues for a more inclusive, accessible, and relevant delivery of Islamic knowledge that meets current needs without neglecting the accuracy of scholarly content.
