Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the user interface design principles of mobile Al-Quran application for senior citizens. For this purpose, the study has conducted a literature review, interview session usability study, the user interface design principles were identified. Using the principles, this study proposed a mobile application and an observation has been conducted with the senior citizens as a validation of the principles. Validation is based on usability evaluation on effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. The results show that the application is satisfactory and usable for the users. In future, the same research interest researcher can explore the audio and navigating in the interface by audio commands. The prototype could be extended to meet the needs of senior citizens that having the problem such as Parkinson and Alzheimer disease.
