Perform five times of solah per day is an obligation for all Muslims. Each of the five solah has different raka’ah. While performing the solah, there is possibility to forget how many raka’ah have been completed especially in performing four raka’ah solah which are Zuhr, Asr and Isya’. This difficulty of remembering the raka’ah sequences could happen to inexperienced children, the elderly and those having cognitive and memory weakness. This situation may affect the concentration while performing solah. Therefore i-Sajadah is proposed as a smart device to notify the user on exact raka’ah that has been completed. This device consists of sensory component, processor and indicator system. As a result, the innovation of i-Sajadah presents high potential solution as a user-friendly device to help Muslims to mastery the daily raka’ah sequences thus improves the concentration and quality of solah.
