The storyWhy Solah exists

Productivity isn’t about doing more.
It’s about living with balance, purpose, and barakah.

Solah is built for Muslims who want to succeed in both deen and dunya. A planner anchored to the five daily prayers, not bolted onto them — with niyyah captured, ʿamal lived, and muḥāsabah at the end of every day.

Manifesto · Founder’s letter

Solah is our reminder — that time is not a burden to chase, but a trust to uphold.

Every day is a trust. Every hour, a chance to return — to clarity, to meaning, to the self you were always becoming.

Solah is a compass, nudging you back to prayer, to health, to purpose — to the rhythm your life was always meant to have.

It guides the scattered, centres the overwhelmed, and brings intention back into the rush of living.

We rise with purpose. We move with sincerity. We honour the moments that shape us — those quiet anchors that make the rest of life make sense.

This is not just planning. It is returning. Aligning. Becoming whole again.

Our mission

In a world obsessed with hustle culture,
Muslims need tools that align with their values.

Prayer treated as a calendar event. Islamic routines ignored. The “more is better” mentality grinding people into burnout. Muslims often struggle to find tools that align with their values and spiritual needs.

Solah is different. We’re building the first productivity platform designed specifically for Muslims — one that helps you find barakah in your time while achieving your worldly goals.

Salah is the spine. Everything else settles around it.

What we hold to

Four values.
Everything we ship is checked against them.

  • إِيمَان01

    Faith first

    Every feature exists to strengthen your connection to Allah, not to optimise around it.

  • تَوَازُن02

    Balance

    Productivity without sacrificing family, health, or worship. The day holds room for all of them.

  • بَرَكَة03

    Barakah

    Quality over quantity. Intention over action. Sincerity over output.

  • أُمَّة04

    Ummah

    We build for an ummah, not an audience. Tools that pull each other forward.

The problem we’re solving

What planning has been.
What Solah makes it.

×Current reality
  • Prayer times treated as interruptions, not priorities.
  • Productivity apps ignore Islamic values and routines.
  • Hustle culture promotes burnout over balance.
  • No integration between faith and daily planning.
  • Guilt about “not being productive enough.”
  • Daily life cut off from the Qur’an and Sunnah.
The Solah way
  • Your entire day is built around salah, not bolted onto it.
  • AI that understands niyyah, muhasabah, and the prophetic day.
  • Focus on barakah, not just efficiency.
  • Seamless rhythm of deen and dunya, in one app.
  • Streaks with grace built in. Celebrate progress, not perfection.
  • Sunan, du’ās, and protocols — sourced and surfaced when they matter.
Who’s building it

A team of Muslim professionals,
building tools for the ummah.
