Abstract

Islamic values are among the important elements and can be learned through technology. This study aims to develop Islamic mobile games for children aged 7–12. This is an interactive platform for them to learn Islamic values, such as how to talk properly to their parents and how to behave with their siblings. The method used for this project is mobile game development. The game elements include achieving a high score, defeating the enemy, answering quizzes, and finding advice on Islamic values.
