Abstract
The global market has experienced a huge increase in the number of mobile apps since the number of smartphone users shows a good rapid. Along with that, it gives an opportunity for the development of Islamic apps which is able to compete with the other apps. Nowadays, Al-Quran can be access through digital and it is not limited to books only, this shows that it is equally competitive with other scientific fields. This article is to highlight the development of android application of Al-Quran in Malay, Arabic and English from 2013 to 2016. The aim is to identify the types of android applications of Al-Quran in the market and that can be a quick reference medium for Muslim today. The study focused on the aspects of content and design for every type of Al-Quran application. As a result, there are about more than 500 Al-Quran apps that are using android platform in the market. However, the existing Al-Quran application does not cover all the current needs of Muslims because most of the applications only focuses on the Al-Quran and its translation into multiple languages, audio readings of Al-Quran, the identification section Makiyah or Madaniyah, recitation, reduction of Al-Quran sentences (asbab annuzul) and the index of the Al-Quran. This study is expected to give an idea to the application designer to fill the gap in existing applications in the future.
