About Khalily

﴿ الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ
az-Zukhruf 67

The name

'Khalily' means 'my close companion' — khullah being the purest form of friendship. The name comes from the verse the whole app is built on: 'Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous.' Every companionship turns to enmity on the Day of Judgement, except one built on taqwa.

So the app asks a single question: who is the companion you want to meet Allah alongside?

Why only two people?

Most habit apps leave you alone with a list, or drop you into a race against strangers. Neither changes behaviour: in the first nobody notices when you stop; in the second there is competition without commitment.

Khalily accepts one pairing only. One person knows whether you prayed, and you know the same about them. It is not surveillance but company — closer to how the companions held one another to obedience.

What this website is

This site is half the app, open to everyone with no sign-up: the complete adhkar with their sources, transmitted duas, accurate prayer times, and a daily checklist saved in your browser.

What a website cannot do — carry your progress across devices, remind you at the right moment, pair you with a companion, hold the Qur'an and hifz — lives in the app. We do not hide that: the app page says so with a direct comparison.

Free, and how it continues

The site is entirely free and carries no ads at all. The app is free for everything to do with prayer, dhikr, Qur'an and pairing, and is funded by an optional subscription and by ads inside the app. The Qur'an screens carry no ads whatsoever — not in the mushaf, the memorisation tool or the khatma. The adhkar reader shows a fixed banner below the text for non-subscribers; it never appears between one dhikr and the next, and never has to be dismissed to keep reading.

Who wakes you for Fajr?
