The study aims to analyse ‘Abd al-Masīh al-Kindi’s (9th century) and John of Damascus’s (7th century) argumentation on the alleged inconsistencies in the Qur’an. The study is a qualitative study employing textual analysis method. It analyses William Muir’s translation of al-Kindi’s apology to ‘Abd Allah al-Hāshimī which was written in the court of al-Ma’mūn and John of Damascus’s writings on Islam in The Heresy of Ishmaelites which was compiled in the The Fount of Knowledge. The study investigates the alleged inconsistencies in the Qur’an which were addressed by the two scholars. The study concludes that alleged inconsistencies in the Qur’an stands as the one of the major arguments for early critics of the Qur’an among Christian apologetics. They cited the assumed contradictory verses in the Qur’an and present them in a polemical manner with the intention to vilify the foundation of Islam. © 2020, University of Malaya.

This research focuses on the design and evaluation of Qiraat mobile learning. It is an extension of our previous paper. It discusses about the improved design of MyQiraat. The main purpose of this research is to enable and promote ubiquitous learning of Qiraat through mobile devices. The improved design has been evaluated using a low-fidelity prototype in a two group evaluation. Results show that most participants realized the potential benefits of the application allowing a better understanding and encouragement of Qiraat learning among participants. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.

This research is concerned with deploying design pattern and formative evaluation for Qiraat mobile application using both Rapid Application Development (RAD) and User Experience (UX) methodologies. The ultimate aim of this research is to encourage ubiquitous teaching and learning of Qiraat through mobile devices. In this paper, continuous progress of MyQiraat design will be presented. The improvement of MyQiraat version design has been evaluated using high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototypes for MyQiraat version 1 and version 2 respectively. Results show that most participants realized the potential benefits of the application allowing a better understanding and encouragement of Qiraat learning among them. However, participants' feedback should be considered in the development of the prototype.

Qiraat mobile has been gaining a lot of attention from users who wish to recite Quran. In this paper, we will discuss the earlier versions of MyQiraat derived from two previous projects of Qiraat mobile design called MyQiraat version 1 and MyQiraat version 2. The aim of this research is to enable and promote the learning of Qiraat anytime and anywhere using mobile devices. The initial evaluation result shows supportive response from the users who wish to learn Qiraat via mobile devices provided the users' feedback is considered in the enhancement version. � 2016 IEEE.
