Abstract : This paper presents the development of an intelligent Quran memorization device that integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the spaced repetition technique to strengthen long-term memory of Quranic verses. The system, named Sahib Al-Quran, was designed as a portable embedded device using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the main processor, a ReSpeaker 2-Mics HAT V2 for voice input and output, a UPS Lite battery for wireless operation and a 2.13-inch e-paper display for low-power visual output. The device employs an AI-based repetition schedule that reminds users when to review verses and provides real-time feedback through speech recognition. Beyond the hardware development, a quantitative experimental study was conducted using an SPSS t-test to compare memorization performance between a control group and an experimental group that used the device. The results revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher memorization scores, suggesting that integrating AI and spaced repetition into a physical learning aid can effectively improve Quran memorization and retention. This study highlights how modern technology can enhance Islamic educational practices while preserving traditional values.
