Leveraging AI and Deep Learning for Spiritual Focus in the Modern Muslim Experience

Abstract

In the contemporary landscape marked by incessant demands and distractions, the preservation of a robust spiritual connection poses a formidable challenge for Muslims, particularly during sacred rituals like prayer (Salat). This study, to our knowledge, represents the first endeavor to address the possible decline in spiritual well-being and highlights the critical importance of maintaining focus and concentration during prayer. Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality, the research investigates the application of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning as strategic enablers for spiritual practices and the augmentation of faith. The proposed solution involves a designed mobile application that harnesses advanced AI, Machine Learning, computer vision, and deep learning algorithms to provide real-time feedback and assistance during prayer. The AI-driven guidance system discerns instances of wandering attention and tactfully redirects them, facilitating users in sustaining a concentrated focus on their spiritual endeavors, in compliance with the Islamic rules.
