The App
My Masjid is a app designed to strengthen community engagement within Muslim American Islamic Centers by addressing barriers to inclusion and access. I created a mobile app concept that serves as a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to integrate into a new Muslim community, whether they are relocating, traveling, newly converted to Islam, or already part of the local population.
Using Bloomington, Indiana as a case study, I developed an outline for My Masjid that addresses the specific needs of underrepresented groups within the Islamic Center of Bloomington. The features are designed to be easily adapted to other Muslim communities across the United States.
Through user interviews, I identified common stressors such as unfamiliarity with mosque layouts, uncertainty around how to get involved, and lack of awareness of community events. My Masjid is structured to reduce these points of friction by offering clear navigation tools, community resources, and real time event updates. The goal is to create a more welcoming and informed experience for all members of the Muslim community.
