😴 POV and relatable Fajr skits

Short relatable moments: snoozing Fajr, the alarm that won't stop until you scan your prayer mat, "5 more minutes". The alarm-app challenge format gets millions of views.

Why it works

• Muslim humour about Fajr is one of the most viewed topics in our library.
• "Send this to the friend who sleeps through Fajr" makes people share it.

  The calm of praying Fajr

How to make it

1. Pick a skit. Film vertical with your phone, or do it faceless: hands, phone on nightstand, prayer mat, screen recordings.
2. Use the app screenshots or a screen recording of the alarm for the "app moment". Keep it under 3 seconds.
3. Text on screen carries the joke. 3-6 words per line.
4. Keep it 7-20 seconds. Cut every 1-2 seconds.
5. Caption: "Send this to someone who sleeps through Fajr 😭" + CTA.

Scripts and templates

The alarm that fights back

On screen: "POV: you downloaded the Fajr alarm that won't stop until you're on your prayer mat"
Shot: phone ringing on the nightstand, you hit snooze, nothing happens
Shot: you stumble to the prayer mat, scan it, silence
Shot: you on the mat, calm, small smile
End text: "It's called Salah Alarm. Link in bio"

"5 more minutes"

On screen: "Me at 5:01 AM: 5 more minutes"
Cut: "Me at 7:40 AM:" (panic, sunlight)
Cut: "Me since I got an alarm I can't snooze:" (up, wudu, praying)
End text: "Salah Alarm. Send this to your Fajr-skipping friend"

Phone vs. me

On screen: "Me trying to open TikTok before Asr"
Screen recording: TikTok opens, SalahLock screen appears: "Complete your prayer to unlock"
You: sigh, get up, pray
Cut: TikTok unlocked, 5/5 logged
End text: "My friend built this. Salah Alarm, link in bio"

What the app does (say only these)

• A Fajr alarm that keeps ringing until you get up and scan your prayer mat. No snooze.
• SalahLock blocks distracting apps (TikTok, Instagram, games) at prayer time until you've prayed.
• Log all 5 prayers in a second by scanning your mat, and keep a daily streak.
• Accurate prayer times for your location, with the adhan.
• Duas on the lock screen and a home-screen dua widget.
• Ramadan 2027 challenge: log your 5 daily prayers and get a chance in the Free Makkah Trip draw.

Rules for this format

• Laugh at the struggle, never at the prayer itself or at people who pray differently.
• No fake reviews or fake "I'm a doctor/scholar" claims.

Plus the general content rules.
