Aboutus.
We're Shaz and Ali — a two-person team based in Toronto. Friends first, cofounders second.
Who we are.
We're Shaz and Ali — two friends who met in university and never stopped building things together. One of us leads the engineering, the other runs the business and brand side. MyAthanClock is the project that stuck — what started as a side build in a shared apartment has become the small company we run today.
We're not a big company. There's no warehouse, no agency, no middlemen. It's just the two of us, in Toronto, building something we wanted to exist for our own families.
"We're a two-person team. Every part of MyAthanClock passes through our hands before it gets to yours."
Alhamdulillah, what started as a small project for our own families is now in thousands of homes around the world.
The athan clocks that already existed.
- ✕Outdated designs you'd hide in a drawer
- ✕A dozen tiny buttons on the clock itself
- ✕30-minute YouTube tutorials just to set the time
- ✕Made to function, never to belong
The clock we wished we could buy.
- ✓A sleek face that elevates the space it's in
- ✓No buttons — set up entirely from the app
- ✓Ready in minutes, then runs on its own
- ✓Designed to be seen, not hidden
To bring the athan into every home — and elevate the space it lives in.
A prayer reminder shouldn't feel like technology. It should feel like a quiet, beautiful part of your home.
Meet the two of us.
A lead engineer and a business-and-brand builder — friends first, cofounders second.
The engineer behind the clock's hardware and software. Shaz turned a frustration with clunky devices into a sleek, app-controlled piece of technology — building the brains that keep your prayer times accurate, on-device, and effortless.
The business and brand side of MyAthanClock. Ali shapes how the company runs, how the clock shows up in homes, and how every order finds its way to a family — making sure the object that calls you to prayer is one you'd be proud to display.
The principles we build by.
Five commitments that shape every decision — from the firmware to the finish.
Faith first
Built by Muslims, for Muslims. Every feature begins with a simple question — does this help someone pray, and pray on time?
Thoughtful by design
An object of worship deserves real craft. We obsess over the silhouette, the finish, and the way it sits in a room — so it earns its place on your shelf.
Private by default
Your prayer times are calculated on-device. No tracking, no data harvesting, no account required. What happens in your home stays in your home.
Made for the home
This is a family object, not a gadget. It's designed to live where you live — bedside, on a shelf, in the heart of the room — and bring everyone together at prayer.
Built to last
Engineered for the long run — no planned obsolescence. We build the clock to be a fixture in your home for years to come.
Every clock gives beyond your home.
A portion of the proceeds from every MyAthanClock goes to charity. When you bring the athan into your home, you're also helping someone, somewhere — a small ongoing sadaqah, woven into the work. We keep this part quiet on purpose; it's simply part of how we do business.
Bring the athan home.
The clock we couldn't find, built for your home and your prayers. We hope it finds a place in yours.
