Abstract

‘Solat Alert Software’(SAS) innovation is a software developed to give users an early prayers reminder and subsequently prevents any further usage of computer systems when prayer calls. This allows the computer users to pray at the beginning of praying time. This software works by displaying a reminder in the form of text message as well as a remembrance audio on the computer before the time comes. Later, it will be followed by azan audio, indicating the prayers time, which automatically will cause the windows system to be in ‘log off’ mode. The reminder will continue for 10 to 15 minutes depending on the settings customised by the system administrator (Admin). This time-off duration is set to prevent users to ‘log in’ during the praying time span so it will give room for users to pray early at any time of prayer. The system administrators can also set different prayers time according to areas by referring to the Malaysia’s official prayers time database developed by JAKIM. The advantage of thissoftware isthatsystem will be automatically logged off, causing the users to stop their virtual activities and perform the prayers on time.
