The Development of Pusara Finder: Muslim Grave Finder Mobile Application

Abstract

In Islam, visiting graves reflects and reminds us of death and life in the Barzakh. The cemeteries must be adequately cared for and maintained since they play a significant role in the community as an important location for remembering and lamenting. However, remembering or finding the specific grave can sometimes be challenging. Thus, this project aims to develop a mobile application in which users can track their loved one’s grave to help them locate, save, and share the grave’s location by utilising the GPS sensors on the mobile phone. It is easier for them to track their loved ones and build a community for the Muslim cemetery community.
