Animation is one of the educational methodologies through entertainment that is very close to the world of children. However, the number of animations with Islamic patterns is still less either on television or on youtube channels. Therefore, the educational method using animation should be highlighted to educate children because this group is more receptive to messages through this method. The issue of Al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamicjerussalem (Baitul Maqdis) received a warm response among adults and the Palestinian people remain the focus of the world, including Malaysia. Based on solidarity, Muslims continue to help the Palestinians defend the al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamicjerussalem (Baitul Maqdis). Even so, the importance of Al Aqsa Mosque as the third main mosque in Islam and also the importance of Islamicjerussalem (Baitul Maqdis) in the history of Islam are not exposed to children. Unlike the more well-known Masjidil Haram and Masjid Nabawi, there are even parents who take their children to perform Umrah or Hajj at a young age. Thus, an animated game android application called 'Let's pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque (ASMA) has been developed using ADDIE Model, to provide key and accurate information about Al-Aqsa Mosque and Baitul Maqdis to children, in addition to fostering a sense of love for the most third important mosque to Muslims. The ASMA animated game android application is developed using three languages; Malay, Arabic, and English for children with the 2-in-1 benefit that is education and entertainment. The ASMA application was tested for usability by selecting a group of primary school students as respondents. The results of the study show that the majority of respondents can understand the content of the ASMA application. They also believe that this animated game is challenging, and entertaining and can train patience in a person. The existence of ASMA's animated game application is expected to fill the loophole in the latest Islamic medium for learning and related to Al-Aqsa Mosque and Baitul Maqdis, for children.
