Some mosques in Riyadh have begun installing electronic monitors inside in order to guide worshippers on how to correctly perform prayer rituals.
"The project is still in its pilot phase. We want to test how technology can be of help in guiding people to do the right thing. We also want to see how worshippers react to the idea," said Abdullah Al-Huwaimil, deputy minister of Islamic affairs.
Al-Huwaimil said the projected mosque system and dawah (call to faith) will include an automated programming system through which mosque data and staff will be connected with the operational divisions of the ministry.
He said that many divisions of the ministry benefited from the electronic project known as "TID".
