Salah Tracker 

Salah is ritual prayer a Muslim observes five times a day. It is one of the pillars of Islam that is 
mandatory for a Muslim. The quality of Salah holds a great importance in terms of one’s intentions 
and the way he performs all the acts. Each prayer consists of two, three or four rounds (Rakah), 
depending on the time of the day and each Rakah consists of certain stages that need to be 
completed. Keeping track of Rakah being performed while praying often becomes hard, the user 
loses track of time and gets distracted. In order to ensure the quality of prayers, all the steps and 
set of activities must be completed in the correct order. 
Therefore, Salah Tracker, which is a mobile based application, monitors the activities of a Muslim in 
each Rakah using sensors of a smart watch. The application will ensure the quality of the Muslim 
Prayers in terms of its correctness. It will inform the user about the time spent on each activity 
during each Rakah and if each activity was performed in a correct order during Salah. The user 
would be informed about the average time spent on each Rakah and if he has missed any Rakah. In addition, along with the Salah timings, user would be informed about the prayers performed all 
day.
