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. The objectives of this project are to identify user requirements and to design and develop Pusara Finder – Muslim Grave Finder Mobile Application. This project uses the Android platform, and the mobile application has been developed using Visual Studio or Android Studio. There is a novelty of this project in which Pusara Finder is anl app designed to simplify the process of locating and navigating to Muslim graves in Shah Alam. This apps offers a seamless and intuitive experience, making it easier to pay tribute to the loved ones. The user also can access the complete database of Muslim graves with ease. The target user of this project was Muslim Public Users or people who want to find their specific grave. The methodology used for this project will be the Mobile Application Development Life Cycle (MADLC) Model. This project, however, has been developed up until the testing phase only. The project has been developed, and it’s in a prototype. In order to develop the mobile application, Flutter and Firebase has been implemented in this project. There were 11 users who had been involved in testing the usability of the mobile application by using System Usability Scale method with the score of 76.59 which in adjective rating is good.
