We started with
a missed prayer.
MyAthanClock began in a university apartment — two friends who wanted the athan in their home, and couldn't find a clock worth putting there. So we built one.
How it began.
In university, we wanted an athan clock — something to remind us of our prayers and bring the adhan into our home. It felt like a small thing that would make a big difference in our day.
But when we went looking, the market disappointed us. Every option was dated and clunky — clocks crowded with tiny buttons, and setups that took a 30-minute YouTube video just to get the prayer times right. None of them were things you'd actually want to display in your home.
"We didn't want a gadget. We wanted an object that belonged in the room — and called us to prayer."
So we decided to design our own: a sleek, smart clock that's controlled entirely through a companion app, with nothing more than the time on its face. One of us was a computer engineering major, the other studied business — so we put our skills together and brought the clock to life.
What started as a fix for our own missed prayers is now in thousands of homes around the world. Alhamdulillah.
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- ✕Outdated designs you'd hide in a drawer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.
The two behind the clock.
A computer engineer and a product designer — 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 designer and growth lead behind every detail you see. Ali shaped how the clock looks, feels, and finds its way into homes — 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.
We sold out our preorders in our very first year — and quietly grew into thousands of homes since.
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.
