Development of Mobile Religious-Consultation Application: Design Thinking Approach

State Islamic Higher Education (PTKIN) is a formal Islamic educational institution tasked with administering higher education with a mission of religious moderation that spreads moderate understanding. This study aims to design an ustadz consultation application that facilitates ulama or female ulama (ustadz/ustadzah) currently in the PTKIN organization to preach and answer community problems directly and interactively. Currently, there are no facilities for ustadz/ustadzah in conveying religious knowledge (preaching). This research focuses on designing application designs for ustadz consultations as a form of integration between Islamic science and technology to the high-fidelity prototype stage. The article's purpose is theoretical and methodological justification, practical testing and evaluation of Mobile Religious-Consultation Application processes using design thinking procedure. The Test was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Single Ease Question (SEQ) methods and was conducted on 70 respondents. Testing with SUS got a final score of 91% with an Acceptable A rating scale for the Ustadz application and a final score of 80.5% with an Acceptable B rating scale for end-user applications. Meanwhile, in the SEQ test, this study obtained a score of 85.83%, a score of 7 (Very Easy), 10%, a value of 6 (Easy), and 4.17%, a value of 5 (Quite Easy) for the ustadz application and a score of 83.7
^%
a score of 7 (Very Easy), 13.2% score 6 (Easy), 2.1% score 5 (Quite Easy), 0.7% score 4 (Neutral), and 0.3% score 3 (Moderately Difficult) for end-user applications.
