According to studies, people with ASD may be unable to notice important nonverbal cues that are normally used to facilitate social connection. Children with autism also have difficulty sustaining their selective attention during learning. The purpose of this paper to develop an Augmented Reality application that suitable for autism children to stay focus in learning. In addition, the study will measure the perceptions and user responses to AR applications This paper proposes a flashcard to assist teachers in guiding ASD students through the process of learning about wudhu. The flashcard, in combination with video, animation, and Augmented Reality, helps children with ASD maintain their focus. The respondents of this study were autism children and special education teachers from Ar Rayyan Quran Academy, Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. The main respondents were te. (10).students with autism syndrome and tw. (2).special need education teachers as a subject matter expert. Respondents were given the application of the AR Wudhu and then underwent pre and post test to see its effectiveness. findings obtained through pre-test and post-test, analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon T test, indicating that after utilizing the built AR Wudhu application, children's understanding of wudhu improved significantly.
