Tarannum is an art of beautifying and curving the voice tone according to a specific tempo and rhythm. It is a traditional art of reciting the Holy Quran. However, with the rapid advancement of ICT and high-end gadgets that have turned us into a digit society, there is an urgent need to create a new method of learning the tarannum. Therefore, the Tarannum Smart Learning Application (Tarannum-SLA) is proposed. It is an innovation of learning the tarannum, intending to catch the attention of new generations towards the Quran. This paper describes the process of requirement gathering and analysis for the development of Tarannum-SLA, referring to the initial phases in System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The process of data collection, data analysis and preliminary design are discussed thoroughly in this paper. As a result, a requirement scheme

This article discusses the development procedures of the Tarannum Smart Learning Application (Tarannum-SLA). It is a teaching and learning aid that has been developed for those who are interested in the tarannum subject. The tarannum is a technique to beautify and curve the tone of voice, in a certain tempo and rhythm when reading the Quran. The main aim of Tarannum-SLA is to facilitate the process of learning tarannum. Also, this courseware could create awareness among Muslims on the importance of the Quran. The Tarannum-SLA was developed not only to attract Muslims but also for non-Muslims who are interested to know about Islam, especially in terms of the arts of Quran recitation. Furthermore, in this courseware, we provide three language options, which are Malay, English, and Arabic for the convenience of our diverse prospective users. There are seven styles of tarannum, including Bayyati, Nahwand, Hijaz, Rast, Soba, Jiharkah, and Sika that are included in the Tarannum-SLA. Furthermore, to examine the ability of Tarannum-SLA to tackle the users’ needs, we have conducted the usability analysis based on the diffusion of innovation model. The result indicated that most of the constructs are perceived at a high level by respondents. Thus, this evidenced the high usability of Tarannum-SLA in promoting Quranic education. Although the development of this courseware has reached the implementation stage, it still needs some future improvements, for example, to amend the verses and reciters.
