The existing holy book stand holder (rehal) made from wood or plastic is a product commonly used by Muslims. Its purpose is to hold and preserve the sanctity of the holy book during recitation. For this study, the researcher formed an understanding of the meaning and cultural value of the rehal from a Malaysian Muslim’s perspective. The materials used to make rehals, their optimum height, as well as acceptable colours, designs, and ornamentations were all analysed. The data collected serves as a guideline by integrating craftsmanship, eco-friendly materials, and relevant design ornaments to create new ceramic rehals that can provide a comfortable user experience.
