Exploring Surah Ad-Dhuha: A Fun and Educational Tafsir App for Kids

Abstract

In this digital age, mobile applications have become an effective tool for education and learning. This project focuses on developing a mobile application that aims to introduce and educate children about Surah Ad-Dhuha through an engaging and enjoyable experience. Besides, this application will not only introduce children to the tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhuha but also instill in them a deeper connection to the Quran and its teachings also inspire a love for the Quran and its wisdom from an early age. We initiated the development of this application because no application provided a kid-friendly tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhuha or any kind of surah in “Play Store”.  According to modern learning, kids prefer learning visually rather than looking at long texts or those without pictures. So, we took the initiative to build this application by helping them understand the tafsir of Surah Ad-Dhuha. Adopting a mixed-methodology approach that seamlessly integrates qualitative and quantitative methods provides a comprehensive understanding of the app's effectiveness and user experience in exploring Surah Ad-Dhuha. This has been achieved based on a survey done by thirty students who take part in Quranic and Multimedia studies at USIM. The project results indicate that the percentage of respondents among Quranic with Multimedia students in evaluating the effectiveness of the application and user experience is highly favorable. In conclusion, our application provides an exciting and effective way for kids to learn about Surah Ad-Dhuha, nurturing a love for the Quran and aiding in their understanding of its interpretation.
