Nurul Izzatul Huda  Mohamad Zainuzi; Syed Najihuddin  Syed Hassan; Nur Aliah Sabrina  Mohd Sabri

Beside Qur'an, the study of Hadith is the second main source of Islamic Teaching. Despite the age's more rapid growth and the rise of technology as a method of communication and knowledge communication technology (ICT) in this era of digitization has given a new dimension to the understanding of hadith. Numerous initiatives have been created to enhance, sustain, and preserve to learn Hadith in digital platform. The availability of Hadith applications nowadays significantly assists Muslims in better understanding and applying Science of Hadith in their daily lives. However, there are several Hadith application methods available to Muslims on a variety of current platforms. There are a lot of programmes in the Google Play Store, so it can be difficult to identify which ones have pros and cons. In order to analyse data and assess the usability of hadith applications accessible in the Google Play Store, this study used the Hands-On Measurement approach. Following data analysis and usability evaluation based on a variety of crucial mobile application needs, including as learnability, efficiency, memory, error management, and satisfaction, thirty hadith apps from the Google Play Store were selected for a shortlist. According to the study, Muslims can utilise the hadith applications that are available on the Google Play Store as a source of knowledge and education, however precaution should always be applied if the software has issues.
