Real-Time Hajj Mobile Guidance

Information Communication and Technology (ICT) can help to connect people with
information faster. The author decided to share the knowledge of Hajj using IT to
fully utilize advantages of IT. Real-Time Hajj Mobile Guidance (Hajj-G) is designed
to provide real-time guidance to pilgrims in performing Hajj pillars and obligatory
acts which is different from the existing Hajj systems in the market nowadays. Hajj-
G is a proposed solution to solve the problems faced by some pilgrims during Hajj,
where the pilgrims are often confused due to the numerous sequences of the Hajj
riruals. This is due to the flexibility of choosing sequences of Hajj pillars to be
performed. Based on the feedback from experienced Hajj Experts, getting manual
guidance from Hajj experts is not convenient and the Hajj guidance book is not
interactive and cannot help to effectively solve problems faced by the pilgrims. The
objective of this project is to create a mobile checklist that is very cost-effective and
easily accessible by most pilgrims. The application been developed using Rapid
Application Development (RAD) methodology. Android has been chosen as the
mobile platform to optimize the capability of the Android technology and to leverage
on its market potential.
