Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
The public's tendency towards Palestinian related issues shows that communities, especially the Malaysians’, are keen to seek information on Palestine, particularly concerning al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis). However, the number of mediums of information through mobile smartphones that provide scientific information about al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis) is minimal. Furthermore, the existing apps using one language only; English, Arabic or Malay, make it difficult to obtain the information. The objective of this need analysis is to obtain information on the basic knowledge of the community of al-Aqsa and Baitul Maqdis mosques. An online questionnaire was distributed to implement this purpose, and respondents were selected by convenience sampling. A total of 601 respondents responded to the questionnaire. The study found that out of five (5) parts of the question submitted, 70% of the respondents were unable to answer correctly or chose the answer “did not know” for the questions. Therefore, this study concludes that it is necessary to develop a scientific learning medium which contains the main information relating to the al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis). As the acceptance and use of mobile smartphones as a major medium of information in the community, the development of mobile smartphone applications about the al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis) is essential. Its existence can fill up the loophole of the alternative medium of m-learning related to the Masjid al-Aqsa and Baitul Maqdis in the society.
