The Athan on your Amazon Echo, at every prayer time

Muslim Companion is a free Alexa skill that plays the Athan automatically at your local times for all five prayers. You choose everything once on the dashboard, and your Echo takes care of the rest.

Free · No ads · Works on every Echo

How it works

  1. Enable the skill in the Alexa app and link your Amazon account.
  2. Choose your settings at alexa.imuslimlife.com: your location, calculation method, Asr time, Fajr Athan, and what plays after the Athan.
  3. Create one Alexa routine that starts when the Muslim Companion Azan sensor opens. The skill opens that sensor at each prayer time.
  4. Hear the Athan on the Echo you picked, five times a day, adjusted for your location every day.

Nothing is set up by voice. The dashboard works on your phone or computer, and you can change a setting any time; your next Athan uses it.

If you travel, update your location and the next Athan follows you.
