An Augmented Reality (AR) Approach in Educational Integration of Du’a in Islam

Abstract

The formation of a harmonious and prosperous society begins with inculcating noble moral values among society. In Islam, the cultivation of these noble moral values begins with spiritual practices that have been cultivated since childhood such as du’a (praying), meditation and so on. Although such spiritual practices such as du’a practices are seen as trivial, but it has a great impact on the lives of the people. In fact, the large number of prayers and variety has made it difficult for Muslims to practice it in life. With technological development, the role of this du’a is able to be reinforced. Learning through e-learning includes the augmented reality (AR) approach is an effective form of learning and can solve this problem. This article has two main objectives. First, explain the role and importance of praying in the Muslim community. Second, explains the AR approach to learning to help prayer education. To achieve both objectives, library methods and content analysis are carried out. The findings of the study show that du’a can form personal and enhance the spirit of brotherhood in society. In addition, the AR approach is particularly suited to enhancing the understanding and practice of prayer to the Muslim community.
