Adhan clocks
An adhan clock calculates the salah times for your city and sounds the azan at each one, which is why it ends up in the kitchen or lounge of so many homes: nobody has to be watching the time. Most also display the Hijri date and let you choose between several recorded adhans.
The range covers wall and desk models in different sizes, from a compact everyday clock to a large LED display readable across a room, plus a portable model for travel and the office. Setup is a matter of selecting your city once, after which it runs on its own.

Questions and answers
How does an adhan clock know the prayer times?
It holds a database of cities and calculates the times from your location once you select it during setup. The models stocked here cover thousands of cities worldwide, including South African ones.
How do I set it to my city?
You select your city or country code from the built in list when you first power it up, and the clock does the rest. The code list is in the manual supplied with each unit.
Can I change which adhan it plays?
Most models carry several recorded adhans to choose between, and the number varies by unit. The options for each are described on its product page.
Can I turn the sound off for a specific salah?
The clocks let you enable or mute individual prayer alarms, which is what people use to silence Fajr overnight. How that is set differs slightly between models.
Do they run on batteries or mains?
It varies by model, with some running on batteries, some on mains and some on both. Power requirements are given on each product page, which is worth checking for a wall mounted unit.
Can they be used on a wall and a desk?
Yes, the Al-Fatiha models are made to work either way, with wall fixing and a stand. The larger LED version is designed to be read across a room, so it usually ends up on a wall.
Do they show the Hijri date?
The models stocked here display the Hijri date alongside the time, which is one of the reasons they are kept in a kitchen or entrance. Exact display details are on each product page.
Is there a portable option?
Yes, a compact portable adhan and tasbeeh unit is stocked alongside the wall clocks, made for travel and the office. It covers the same automatic prayer time function in a smaller device.
What is in the box?
Each unit ships with its manual and the fixings or stand appropriate to the model, and anything further is listed on the product page. Check whether batteries or an adaptor are included before ordering.
Is an adhan clock a good gift?
It is one of the more practical Islamic gifts, since it is used every day and needs no personal taste to get right. It is a common choice for a new home or a nikah.
Can I hear the clocks in store?
Yes, and hearing the adhan quality and volume in person is worth doing before choosing. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, with delivery across South Africa.
How much do adhan clocks cost?
Adhan clocks at Cii Stores run from around R100 for the portable unit up to R1,299 for the large LED wall model. The standard Al-Fatiha wall and desk clock sits in between at R799.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Standard shipping is R160 and orders are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery is free on orders over R1000.
Can I return an adhan clock?
Yes. Non consumable items can be returned within 7 days in unused, unopened condition and in their original packaging. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
