My name is Parish Khan, and I’m a software developer from Bogura, a small city in Bangladesh. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built web applications used by millions of people, but one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever worked on started with a very personal problem.
Like many Muslim-majority cities, Bogura has several mosques within walking distance. When it’s time for salah, you’ll hear multiple adhans echoing across the neighborhood, often beginning anywhere from five to thirty minutes apart as each mosque follows its own schedule.
For years, our local mosque held Dhuhr prayer at exactly 1:30 PM. One day, I arrived expecting to join the congregation, only to discover that the prayer had already finished. The imam had changed the iqamah time to 1:10 PM, but there was no simple way for regular worshippers to know about the change.
That experience stayed with me.
As a software developer, I couldn’t help thinking that this problem should already have been solved. Our phones synchronize instantly. Our calendars update automatically. Our smart devices stay connected wherever we are. Yet something as important as knowing when your local mosque will begin prayer still depended on printed timetables, WhatsApp messages, or word of mouth.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
One weekend, I decided to build a solution.
I created the first version of SalahClock and installed it in our local mosque. Then I connected another display to the TV in my home. For the first time, whenever the mosque administrator updated a prayer or iqamah time, my home display synchronized automatically. There was nothing to configure, nothing to refresh, and no need to wonder whether the schedule had changed.
That simple experiment changed the way I thought about mosque technology.
I realized this wasn’t just my problem. Millions of Muslims around the world rely on their local mosque’s schedule, yet there is often no reliable way for homes, offices, schools, or community centers to stay synchronized. A small change in the mosque’s timetable can mean arriving late and missing the congregation altogether.
That’s when SalahClock became much more than a weekend project.
Today, SalahClock is a modern, web-based digital prayer display designed for mosques, homes, and Islamic organizations. Instead of requiring expensive proprietary hardware or manually updating every display, mosque administrators can update their schedule once, and every connected screen stays in sync automatically.

Whether it’s a display inside the mosque, a TV in someone’s living room, or a screen in an office, everyone sees the latest prayer and iqamah times in real time.
My vision is simple: to make it effortless for every Muslim to stay connected with their local mosque, no matter where they are.
