https://doi.org/10.31436/iiumej.v17i1.528Abstract
This paper introduces the AlHajj app for iOS which is an interactive guide to Hajj, like an interactive map allowing users to walk through the process of the Hajj to develop a better understanding of the obligations, locations, dates and Hajj activities with the sequence they are performed in. It covers both pre and post Hajj activities. AlHajj has a very simplistic and clean User Interface (UI). The app is also written for maintainability and it is free.
