Designed for Singapore · MUIS times · Always up-to-date

No radio.
Just the adhan.
On time.

Other prayer clocks calculate. Nuur doesn't. It reads Singapore's prayer times directly from MUIS — the religious authority. What glows through the wood veneer is exactly what your mosque follows.

Nuur — LED prayer clock with wood veneer face, wall-mounted or tabletop

Built exclusively for Singapore. Nuur is an Islamic prayer clock — wall-mounted or free-standing on a table — with a luminous display hidden behind a clean wooden finish — quietly present day and night, warmed into amber at every prayer. Prayer times come directly from MUIS — Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura — and refresh nightly. What appears on your wall is exactly what Singapore's religious authority has published. Nothing calculated. Nothing assumed.

The story behind Nuur

We didn’t want to listen to the radio. We just wanted to hear the adhan.

I'm German, I reverted to Islam, and I married into a Malay Singaporean family. Whenever I sat in my wife's parents' living room before Maghrib, I watched someone get up, cross the room, and switch on Warna 942 — Singapore's one station that plays the adhan. Then a property agent's hotline and a fast food jingle would blast through the house, followed by the same old song that was on the day before. Actually nobody wanted to hear any of that. We just wanted to hear the adhan, on time. Prayer clocks existed, but they used formulas that were different from what MUIS publishes — often by several minutes. Those minutes matter, especially at Fajr and Iftar.

As a software engineer, building the clock I wished existed felt like the obvious answer. Nuur reads prayer times directly from MUIS — the same source Warna uses — so what sounds in your home is exactly what every mosque in Singapore observes. No approximations. No manual updates. It sits quietly behind its wood face until it's really time to call the adhan. Then it goes quiet again.

Built for Singapore

What this clock does differently.

MUIS-Official Times

Not calculated. Not approximated. Sourced daily from Singapore's religious authority. The same times published for every mosque, every household, in Singapore.

Part of your Home

Over 4,000 LEDs sit behind an elegant wooden face built to feel like furniture, not electronics — at home on a shelf or wall. Quietly dim day to day, then warmed into amber at every prayer.

Pre-Adhan Ambiance

Five to ten minutes before each prayer, the room shifts. Soft audio, amber glow. The household is ready before the call is made — no competitor offers this.

Auto Ramadan Mode

Follows MUIS's published Islamic calendar for Singapore. If MUIS ever revises a date after moon sighting, every Nuur picks up the change on its next sync, comfortably ahead of the next Fajr. Imsak times, day count, Lailatul Qadar nights — all automatic.

Singapore Islamic Calendar

Thirteen events. MUIS-confirmed Hijri dates — not Saudi Arabia's, not a formula's. Singapore's moon-sighting, Singapore's determination, each event with a live countdown.

Al-Quran & More

Four categories in one player — Al-Quran, Adhkar, Nasheed and Tazkirah. All 114 surahs, multiple reciters, sleep timer built in. Streams over your WiFi, with a backup reciter saved on the device as a fallback if the connection drops.

Updates Itself

Updates download and install overnight, verified before they take effect. If anything ever looks wrong, Nuur automatically moves back to the last working version. No cables, no app store.

Control From Any Browser

Adjust volume, brightness, and reciters, or start Quran playback, from your phone's browser — changes reach the device in seconds. No app to install, no account to create.

Keeps Working Offline

Thirty days of prayer times stored on the device, and a battery-backed clock that keeps perfect time — Nuur calls the adhan through any WiFi outage, then reconnects on its own.

Daily Remembrance

A day that keeps its own time.

An alarm holds the hour you gave it. Sunrise does not.

Nuur reads a short daily remembrance on its own, through the day. Each reading is tied to one of today's MUIS times rather than to an hour on the clock — so it stays in the window it belongs to in March as surely as in October, without anyone adjusting it. Here is a real Singapore day.

Fajr + 15 minmust end by Syuruk

Morning adhkar

The morning remembrance belongs between Fajr and sunrise. Nuur starts it after Fajr and checks it will finish before Syuruk — on the shortest morning of the year as much as the longest. Syuruk itself shifts by the better part of twenty minutes across the year, so no single hour on the clock can sit inside that window every day.

Fajr + 42 minmust end by Syuruk

Surah Ya-Sin

Read in the voice you chose, not one fixed at the factory. Pick a reciter you love and the whole day is read in it.

Syuruksunrise — silent by default

The sunrise scene

The sun rises on the panel at the moment it rises outside. No call, no speech — just the one moment of the day every other clock renders as four digits.

Syuruk + 20 min

Du'a al-Duha

Anchored to the actual sunrise, so it moves with it across the year rather than drifting away from it.

Jumu'ah − 60 minFridays

Surah Al-Kahf

Timed to finish before Jumu'ah, which is the practice most households actually organise their Friday around — rather than at a fixed morning hour that bears no relationship to when the prayer is held.

Maghrib − 75 minends 15 min before Maghrib

Evening adhkar

The evening remembrance runs from Asr to Maghrib, and the part approaching Maghrib is the more emphasised one. Nuur places it there on purpose — late in the window, finishing with room to spare before the call.

Isha + 22 · Isha + 37

As-Sajdah, then Al-Mulk

The two before sleep, in the order the narration names them.

Last third of the nightsilent by default

Qiyam

Computed from tonight's own Maghrib and tomorrow's Fajr, so it lands in the last third of this night. The panel shows a quiet night sky; sound is yours to switch on.

Every reading above can be turned off, and several more turned on, from the settings page in your browser. There is no time to enter anywhere: each reading already knows the prayer it belongs beside, which is the one thing a fixed hour can never learn. And if a window closes before a reading can finish inside it, Nuur leaves it rather than running it late.

The media player

And everything you choose yourself.

The daily remembrance is the half that runs on its own. The other half is a player you open with one tap on the device: four categories, each remembering where you left off.

Al-Quran

The full Quran, all 114 surahs, in your choice of reciter.

Adhkar

The remembrance sequences, supplications and the takbir.

Nasheed

Devotional songs.

Tazkirah

The home for short reminder talks, filled over WiFi rather than by a new card.

New content arrives over WiFi. Nothing about what your Nuur can play was fixed on the day it was boxed.

Ramadan

The month it was built for.

Nothing to switch on. Ramadan arrives with MUIS's calendar — and leaves with it.

From the first night of the month, the panel, the alarm and the programme change for it on their own. Here is what changes, in the order your household meets it.

Before dawn

A suhur alarm that wakes you.

Set it by how early you want waking — 30 minutes to an hour and a half before Imsak. It rises gently for a few minutes, then stops. It sounds through Night Mode, because waking you is the point of it.

Imsak

The countdown that matters first.

For the last ninety minutes before Imsak, the panel counts down to Imsak rather than to Fajr. The eating window closes before the prayer begins, so that is the time a household needs in view.

Every day

The month, counted.

The Hijri date turns amber for the month, and between prayers the panel keeps the day of Ramadan. On the seventeenth it marks Nuzul al-Qur'an instead.

Maghrib

Iftar, with Ya Rabb.

The iconic Iftar Qasidah, Ya Rabb — Ya Rabb Karamuka Alaina — after the Maghrib adhan: the voice a great many households already associate with breaking their fast.

The last ten nights

Laylat al-Qadr, on the odd nights.

On the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th, the panel names the night from Maghrib. The Isha countdown holds back until half an hour out, so the night keeps the panel while you prepare for Tarawih.

1 Shawwal

Takbir at the Maghrib MUIS announces.

In a 29-day year or a 30-day one. Nuur waits for MUIS to say which it was, and begins the takbir at the Maghrib that actually opens Shawwal — then again shortly after sunrise on the day itself.

A Ramadan adhan voice, too, if you want one. Choose a reciter for the month and Nuur uses it for Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, then returns to your usual choices when the month ends. Fajr keeps its own voice — its adhan has words the others do not.

How we compare

Nuur vs. everything else.

Based on publicly available product information as of September 2026 — manufacturers' own published specifications. Al-Harameen, ALFAJR, IMAN, Masjidal referenced. Where a vendor states nothing on a point, this table says so rather than inferring an answer. Price bands are typical Singapore retail, not any one product.

The difference that matters

"Other clocks estimate.
We fetch."

Every prayer clock on the market — at any price — generates times using mathematical formulas. Those formulas were tuned for global use, and they differ between schools, organisations, and countries. In Singapore, this means they routinely diverge from what MUIS publishes by two to five minutes — on the most significant moments of your day.

Nuur carries no formula. Each night, our service retrieves the times MUIS has published for the day ahead, and every Nuur picks them up on its next sync. What appears on your wall is what MUIS has said — nothing more.

Setup & daily use

Setup in 60 seconds.
Runs for life.

Plug in. Open any browser.

On first power-on, Nuur broadcasts its own WiFi network. Connect any phone or laptop. A setup page opens automatically. Enter your home WiFi password. That's it — no app to install, no account to create.

Stays current, stays reliable.

Our service refreshes directly from MUIS every night. Nuur syncs with it every 6 hours over WiFi and stores 30 days of prayer times on the device, so it keeps working through any WiFi outage and reconnects automatically once you're back online.

Every prayer, as you set it.

Each prayer has its own reciter, its own volume. Fajr whispers — it will not wake the household. Maghrib carries presence. Set once through the web settings page, remembered forever.

Global adhan clocks follow Saudi Arabia's moon sighting or a fixed calculation — which can fall a day earlier or later than what MUIS announces for Singapore.

Nuur tracks all thirteen key Islamic events using MUIS's annual calendar publication, updated automatically on each sync. Every countdown on your wall reflects Singapore's religious determination, not a global default.

What people are saying

Early feedback.

“Honestly I was wondering why nobody made this earlier. Everyone has a prayer clock these days but none of them are correct. And this one doesn't look like an electronic device at all, more like part of the interior design. Won't be surprised if Malaysia starts asking for this too.”

Abdul Rashid

Bukit Batok, Singapore

“This is genius. I can control everything from my phone, don't even need to download an app. What I like most is the Quran fades out right on time before the next prayer starts — really thought of every detail.”

Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

What prayer times does Nuur use?

Nuur reads prayer times directly from MUIS — Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura. Our service retrieves MUIS's official publication every night, and each device picks up the latest schedule on its regular sync. These are the same times used by every mosque in Singapore. No calculation, no formula.

Does it need WiFi all the time?

No. Here is the honest split.

Works with no WiFi at all: prayer times and the adhan, for 30 days from the last sync; the Islamic calendar and its countdowns; the daily devotional core — the morning and evening adhkar, Ya-Sin, As-Sajdah, Al-Mulk and Du'a al-Duha among them — which is kept on the card rather than streamed; the ruqyah and the takbir; every ambient window; and the clock itself, on its battery-backed timekeeper.

Needs WiFi: browsing and streaming any surah in any reciter; nasheed and anything seasonal or dated; settings changes reaching the device in seconds; and firmware updates, MUIS revisions and moon-sighting announcements.

In between: if the connection drops mid-surah, Nuur restarts it with the backup reciter saved on the device rather than going silent. A programme item it cannot reach is skipped and the day moves on. After a few failed syncs it shows a gentle offline reminder; reconnecting clears it by itself.

What does Nuur play on its own — and can I turn it off?

Out of the box, a short daily remembrance: the morning and evening adhkar, Surah Ya-Sin after Fajr, Du'a al-Duha after sunrise, and As-Sajdah and Al-Mulk after Isha — plus the adhan itself and the du'a that follows it. During Ramadan it adds the Iftar Qasidah Ya Rabb, the Tarawih lead-in, the Laylat al-Qadr munajat and the Eid takbir.

Every one of them can be switched off individually from the settings page in your browser, and several more — Surah Al-Kahf on Fridays, the ruqyah, salawat — can be switched on. There is no time to enter anywhere: each reading already knows the prayer window it belongs to. And if a window closes before a reading can finish inside it, Nuur leaves it rather than running it late.

Is there a subscription?

No. One purchase, no account, no monthly fee, and no tier that unlocks features later. The prayer-time service, the daily remembrance, the Quran streaming, new adhan voices and ambient tracks, and every firmware update are included for the life of the device.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Setup is done entirely in your phone's browser — Nuur broadcasts its own WiFi network on first power-on, and a setup page opens automatically. Once connected to your home WiFi, all ongoing configuration — including volume, brightness, reciters, and starting or stopping Quran playback — is available at a bookmarkable web address, with changes reaching the device in seconds. No app download, no account, no App Store.

How does Ramadan mode work?

Nuur's Ramadan mode follows MUIS's officially published Islamic calendar — the same dates every mosque in Singapore uses. In the rare case MUIS revises the 1st of Ramadan after a moon sighting, our team updates the calendar the same day, and every device picks it up on its next sync (within 6 hours) — comfortably before the next Fajr. Once active: Imsak time replaces Fajr, the Ramadan day count appears, and Lailatul Qadar nights are highlighted (with special attention to the 27th). No manual intervention needed on your part.

What is the veneer and how is it made?

The face is 0.3mm natural wood veneer — thin enough for light to glow warmly through at prayer time, while appearing as solid wood when the display is off. A light warm tint deepens the amber you see through the grain. Two coats of matte polyurethane protect the surface — no high gloss, no plastic feel.

Does Nuur collect any data?

No microphone. No camera. Nuur has no means to listen to or record anything in your home. The device does check in with our service regularly — a brief status ping (connection status, uptime) roughly every hour, plus its periodic prayer-time sync — which is what lets it apply settings changes within seconds and show a warning if it ever goes offline. This is device health data only: no ad network, no data resold to anyone. Your settings are kept against the clock, not a named account, and your home WiFi password never leaves it. The full detail, including what we keep for the waitlist and orders, is in our Privacy Policy.

Can I choose the adhan reciter?

Yes — independently per prayer. Fajr can use a different reciter and volume from Maghrib. Reciter selection and per-prayer volume (0–15) are configured through the web settings page. Multiple adhan recordings are included on the device. No single global volume — every prayer is its own profile.

Who builds Nuur?

A small team led by a software engineer, German, now living in Singapore — the same person who wrote the firmware, tested every OTA update rollback path, and picked the wood veneer. Hardware is a newer skill; the discipline isn't. Every prayer window, every audio cue, every settings sync is tested the way software is tested, before it's allowed anywhere near your Fajr.

Will the display keep me up at night?

No — brightness follows the prayer schedule automatically, dimming after Isha and brightening again before Fajr, so it stays unobtrusive on a bedside shelf overnight. Per-prayer volume works the same way: most households set Fajr to a whisper so it wakes the room gently rather than jolting it.

Does Nuur need to stay plugged in?

Yes — Nuur runs on USB-C power continuously, the same way a lamp or a speaker would. The battery-backed clock is a small internal backup that keeps the time and date correct through a power cut or unplug; it doesn't run the display, audio, or WiFi on its own. Once power is restored, Nuur picks up exactly where it left off.

Will Nuur work with my home WiFi?

Nuur connects to standard 2.4GHz WiFi — the same band most phones and smart home devices use. If your router broadcasts a single combined network name, this just works. If it separates 2.4GHz and 5GHz into two networks, connect Nuur to the 2.4GHz one during setup.

Why does Nuur call the adhan before the radio or my usual app?

It isn't early — the others are late. Radio adhan travels through a studio broadcast chain before it reaches your speaker, and a phone app's push notification has to clear its provider's delivery queue before your phone even rings. Both add a real lag on top of the actual prayer time. Nuur skips that chain entirely: the schedule is stored on the device and checked against its own battery-backed clock, so the adhan fires the moment that clock hits the minute — no network round-trip and no broadcast pipeline in between.

Do you ship outside Singapore?

Not yet. Nuur is built specifically around MUIS's published times for Singapore, so the first production run ships to Singapore addresses only. We've heard interest from Malaysia and are tracking it for a future batch, but there's no confirmed timeline — register your interest and we'll reach out if that changes.

No radio.Just the adhan.On time.
