Thus, this study is focused on developing a multimedia courseware that could assist learners to learn the correct pronunciation for the Makhraj of the hijayyah letters using the multimedia elements especially the 3D graphics. For this project the target user are children aged between 7-12 years old. They will be trained with the correct of Makhraj for letters in the 7 verses from surah al-Fatihah.
