“DEVELOPMENT OF PRAYER RAKA’AT COUNTER USING ULTRASONIC SENSOR”

Abstract

Every Muslim is required to study and do solah five times a day. Each family has its unique approach for teaching their children to practise and perform solah, particularly at a young age. However, parents today have challenges in teaching their children about solah since youngsters now have a variety of justifications, including being sluggish and lying about their solah practise. When performing solah, the biggest issue is that it's easy to lose track of how many raka'ah you've performed. This issue frequently occurred during doing raka'ah prayers such as Zuhr, Asr, and Isya'. When performing as well as the elders, inexperienced youngsters will be confused as to how many raka'ah they have previously performed.A display for indicating a prayer or Raka’ah count, a first proximity sensor for sensing when a Sudjood position has been assumed by the user, and a processor operably associated with the indicator and first proximity sensor for updating the indicator to the next Raka’ah are all included in an interactive electronic prayer counter that indicates a current or completed Raka’ah of a plurality of Rakat performed by a user during an Islamic ceremonial prayer. The user is kept informed of his or her progress through the Islamic ritual prayer in this way. The first proximity sensor can detect the Sudjood position without the user having to touch it. A second proximity sensor can be added to identify a certain stage of the prayer cycle and update the display accordingly. Electrical and electronic technologies, namely ultrasonic systems, are used in this research. These subsystems are connected using an Arduino Uno. The Arduino was chosen as the main microcontroller for this system because of its ease of use and ability to read and run Programming language. It's also a straightforward platform that's appropriate for a wide range of IT projects
