Abstract

Muslim women nowadays have different careers and roles which demand them to be practical and efficient in daily life. For working mothers especially, they have too many things to do and do not get enough help. Therefore, they need a multi-function item that can help them complete their duties easier. That is why every Muslim woman need Minsyafah: Muslimah Smart Towel which gives seven different functions. We did some research on microfiber fabric to find out this fabric’s benefits and eventually chose it asMinsyafah’s main material. Then, we did the designing to innovate an ordinary microfiber towel into a multi-function and smart towel. Due to Minsyafah’s multi-functions, we ran a few experiments on each function. Other than that, we ran another experimentto test the effectiveness of microfiber fabrics on our product. Our first experiments results show that Minsyafah is functioning well as an efficient towel, instant headscarf, handy towel, sweater, nursing cover, baby bottle warmer and travel pillow. Our second experiment result shows that microfiber fabrics are the best towel fabrics due to its characteristics which benefit users. If the seven different functions of Minsyafah are used in daily life, it will surely help to ease the modern life of Muslim women and save their money because it can replace a few necessities. In a future study, it is recommended that more research should be done on the exact type of microfiber fabrics to be used for our Minsyafah, to determine the average shelf life of Minsyafah.
