IILM Case Study

Helping users connect with faith, information, and daily life — all in one voice-enabled app.

A modern, culturally mindful mobile app designed for the Muslim community in Germany, blending AI voice search, multilingual support, and curated religious content into a clean, approachable interface.

The Challenge

Existing Islamic apps often felt cluttered, outdated, or lacked cultural sensitivity. Users struggled with:

  • Poor navigation to daily duas and guidance.

  • Limited or no voice interaction features.

  • Interfaces not optimized for multilingual users in a German context.

We set out to create a daily companion that feels both smart and soulful.

My Role

  • UX Research & Persona Building

  • Wireframes & User Flow Mapping

  • High-Fidelity UI Design

  • Interactive Prototype Creation

The Process

1. Research & Empathy Mapping

  • Interviewed 7 community members to learn about pain points and daily habits.

  • Mapped language preferences (Arabic, German, English) to interaction flows.

2. Ideation & Wireframing

Designed low-fidelity flows for quick access to:

  • Voice search

  • Favorites library

  • Duas and religious guidance

  • Prioritized minimal taps to reach content.

3. Visual Direction

  • Palette inspired by modern minimalism + traditional geometric patterns.

  • Typography choices ensured readability across Arabic and Latin scripts.

4. Prototyping & Interaction Design

  • Smooth voice query transitions.

  • Instant language switch without losing current page state.

The Solution

  • AI-Powered Voice Search – Users can speak queries in multiple languages.

  • Favorites & Quick Access – Personal library for daily content.

  • Culturally Mindful UI – Respectful, modern design language.

  • Multilingual UX – German, Arabic, English seamlessly integrated.


Impact

  • Reduced search-to-content time by ~40% (prototype testing).

  • Received strong positive feedback from test group for clarity and cultural sensitivity.

  • Delivered a developer-ready UI kit + clickable prototype.
