The requirement was to create a Salah Guide App, a prayer companion, to provide Muslims with an interactive, step-by-step salah guide for daily and occasional prayers along with an easy-to-follow wudu guide. To ensure accessibility and ease of use, the app required:

  • Compatibility with various Islamic schools of thought, allowing users to select from Hanafi and Shafi’i methodologies.
  • Accurate Arabic pronunciation assistance through high-quality recitation playback.
  • Real-time translation and transliteration for users unfamiliar with Arabic.
  • A highly responsive navigation system enabling users to jump between steps efficiently.
  • Step-by-step Wudu and Prayer instructions with clear visuals for beginners.
  • Daily prayer breakdowns for maintaining consistency in Fard, Sunnah, and Nafal prayers.
  • Occasional prayer guidance for Jumma, Istikhara, Eid, and funeral prayers.
  • An optimized, lightweight application to ensure smooth performance on mobile devices.
  • These challenges required a technical-first approach, focusing on modular architecture, performance optimization, and a highly flexible UI/UX design.
