# A Prayer and Calendar Smart Screen > Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) proposes turning a repurposed screen into a daily display for the time, prayers, and Google Calendar meetings. His proposed prayer flow keeps a reminder visible until he confirms he has prayed, then records the completion time and stops the reminders. - By Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) — AI, marketing and business, in Arabic - 8 October 2026 - URL: https://abdulosama.com/en/feed/prayer-calendar-smart-screen - Video: https://abdulosama.com/feed/video/211 - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeOhALsslpH/ - YouTube: https://youtube.com/shorts/3PLLC3dGWFE?feature=share - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abdul_osama/video/7694362694190681345 - LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/p/dbvARb7w - X: https://x.com/AbdulOsama90/status/2108263136063324656?s=20 ## Key takeaways - The proposed screen combines time, prayer times, and meetings. - A prayer reminder would stay visible until “I prayed” is pressed. - The flow would log completion time and the delay after the Adhan. - A periodic chime would help Abdul stay aware of passing time. - The video describes a proposed experience, not verified implementation results. ## The idea Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) wants a personal screen that shows prayer and calendar information rather than an assistant interface he does not actually use. He describes the experience he wants to build; the video does not establish that every feature is already working. > “The user experience has nothing to do with the designer’s expectations, even though I’m the same person.” — Abdul Osama ## What would the screen show? The normal display would show the current time, the next prayer and its countdown, and today’s five prayer times. Abdul mentions Pillars, an Android prayer-times app he likes. Android is a device operating system; he also refers to using an open-source Android setup while discussing the repurposed screen. It would show the next Google Calendar meeting and the remaining meetings that day. Google Calendar is a service for organizing events and appointments. The point is to see what is coming up and when he will be free of meetings. ## What happens at prayer time? The proposed flow starts with a gentle notification, then brightens the display and opens a full-screen prayer page. That page would remain until he presses “I prayed.” If he has not confirmed, a gentle reminder repeats; another warning can appear when the next prayer is approaching. > “It won’t go away until I say: I prayed.” — Abdul Osama Pressing the button would record the prayer’s name and exact completion time, calculate how long after the Adhan—the call to prayer—it was completed, stop the reminders, and return to the prayer-and-calendar display. A prayer history would help him see which prayers he tends to perform late. ## In numbers - The display would show **five** daily prayer times. - An example screen says the last prayer was completed **3 hours and 18 minutes** ago; this is an interface example, not a measured result. - He proposes repeating a reminder every **10 minutes** until he confirms. - His example warning says Maghrib begins in **45 minutes**. - He would like a time-awareness chime every **half hour or hour**. ## What else would he add? Abdul also wants a regular cue to notice time passing and a way to control his smart home from the screen. The practical next step in his proposal is to build around the information he actually checks, then see whether the interface serves him in daily use. ## Questions and answers ### What would Abdul's screen display? The current time, the next prayer and its countdown, all five prayer times for the day, the next Google Calendar meeting, and the day's remaining meetings. ### How would the proposed prayer reminder work? It would start gently, open a full-screen prayer page, and keep it visible with repeat reminders until he presses “I prayed.” ### What would happen after he presses “I prayed”? The proposed flow would record the prayer and its completion time, calculate the time since the Adhan, stop reminders, and return to the regular display. ### Are these features confirmed to be working? No. Abdul describes the uses and interface he wants; the video does not confirm that the full flow has been implemented. ## Full transcript من كنت اتكلمت عن أليكسا وريبرپسينج نزلت عليها أندرويد أوبن سورس وبعدين لقيت نفسي ما بستخدمهاش أزن إيجنت ولا حاجة. اليوزر إكسبيرينس مالهاش دعوة بالإكسبكتيشنز بتاعت الديزاينر رغم أني نفس الشخص. فالمهم عادت مع تشاجيبتي كده أحلوينا وفكرنا ولقيت الاستخدامات الحقيقية اللي ممكن نستخدمها فيها القاتية. From now on it's going to be a normal screen بتوري الكارنت تايم، next prayer and countdown time، today five prayer times واستخدم أبليكيشن على الأندرويد بتاع صلاة اسمه pillars بحبه جدا. Next Google Calendar meeting عشان أبعرف إيه اللي ورايا. Remaining meetings today عشان أعرف أنها إمتى أحرار بعيدا عن الميتينغز بكره الميتينغز. When prayer time arrives بصوا بعد بقى إيه ده اللعب. الأيكو بما أني مفتوح المصدر هبكريت عليه user experience خاصة بيها معمولة لي أنا. اللي هو بقى إيه. I play a gentle prayer notification. بعد كده brighten and open a full screen prayer page. مش هتروح غير لما أقول I prayed. It's time for Asr. Last prayer completed 3 hours 18 minutes ago. Remaining on the screen until you press prayed. Repeat a gentle reminder كل 10 دقيقة ومصلي. ولو الصلاة اللي بعدها قربت مغرب begins in 45 minutes خلي بالك الصلاة تفوتك. Pressing prayed will record a prayer name. Record exact completion time. Calculate how long after Adhan it was completed. Stop reminders. Release the lock screen. Go back to prayer and calendar time. بكلان عندي ال prayer history عارف أنا بتأخر على إيه. Hourly awareness دي حاجة تانية أنا كنت حبيبها أنا بحب كل نص ساعة أو ساعة يجي لي زي دينج كده عشان بحس بالوقت. يوريني الكالندر وبعدين في حاجة اسمها kiosk satellite وده عشان ال smart home بتاعي أتحكم. إيه رأيوك في البروجيكت ده? --- Transcribed and written up with AI from the video; reviewed on request.
