Improving Worship Discipline and Focus Through Prayer Reminder Apps

Walada Paradisa — 2025-07-05

This study investigates the impact of prayer reminder applications on worship discipline and spiritual focus (khusyuk) among Muslim university students in Bandung, Indonesia. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of such apps in enhancing prayer punctuality and spiritual engagement. Using a quantitative explanatory method, data were gathered from 33 users of apps like Muslim Pro and Al-Quran Indonesia. Results show significant improvement in prayer timeliness (mean: 4.1/5) though the improvement in khusyu’ was more modest (mean: 3.0/5). Key obstacles include poor internet (35%), app errors (30%), and inconsistent alerts (25%). The findings suggest that while digital nudges improve external discipline, they are less effective in fostering inner devotion. This study’s novelty lies in its integration of behavioral nudging with Islamic educational values. It recommends features like offline access and reflective prompts to support both compliance and spiritual depth. These insights offer implications for Islamic app developers and educators aiming to enhance faith-tech experiences.

The Reconfiguration Of The Ottoman Empire In The Concert Of Europe: Appropriation And Adaptation Of International Law In The Hamidian Era (1876-1909)

Anisa Fitriani — 2025-07-10

This study illuminates a crucial yet underexplored mechanism: how international legal norms were adapted to safeguard the caliphate’s legitimacy and continuity under European hegemony. It examines how the Hamidian regime both adopted and reshaped international law—as a regulatory framework and as a strategic bargaining tool to preserve dynastic survival. Drawing on a historical-critical methodology that combines primary-source archives with Ottoman intellectual discourse, this research uncovers the dialectical interaction between the Islamic legal tradition of siyar and modern international-law constructs. Findings reveal a fundamental paradox: Ottoman integration of international norms both signified subordination to European diplomatic standards and served as an adaptive realpolitik strategy amid shifting global geopolitics. By reconstructing Ottoman international relations from a non-Western perspective, the study offers historiographical innovation and yields conceptual insights for contemporary Muslim-majority states formulating foreign policy in the face of enduring hegemonic pressures.
