Designing for Interconnected Islamic Learning: A Qualitative Study of Muslim Women's Experiences with Qur'an, Hadith, and Seerah Apps

Islamic learning often depends on reading the Qur’an, Hadith, and Seerah together, yet digital tools typically separate these sources across apps, screens, and search pathways. Based on five semi-structured interviews with Muslim women, this qualitative HCI study identifies recurring tensions around contextual understanding, authenticity, interface clutter, study modes, and guidance features. It introduces the idea of layered contextuality, arguing that contextual expansion in Islamic learning tools should remain trustworthy, optional, and supportive of devotional flow across devices and study intensities.
