AI, used with care
An assistant that explains, never decides
Every number on your dashboard comes from your own records and a deterministic engine. The AI reads them and explains in plain language. It never invents progress, and it asks before it changes anything.
Ask about a student, a class or a whole school
Fill a record from a sentence, then review it
Weekly and on-demand reports for parents and teachers
Confirmation cards before any bulk change

Currently serving schools in the Chicago areaWe work closely with each school we onboard. Students and teachers can join from anywhere; schools in the Chicago area get hands-on setup from our team.
Common questions
Is Shams AI free to start?
Every paid plan starts with a free trial of our top plan, with every feature in it: 30 days for schools, 14 days for independent teachers and 7 days for students. When the trial ends, a school chooses and pays for a plan. Independent teachers and students who cancel move to the Free plan, which stays free. If you go past what your plan includes, nothing stops working: the extra is billed at the end of the month, and you can set a budget. Safety and privacy features are never extras. See the Pricing tab for every plan.
Does the AI replace the teacher?
No. Teachers record and decide. The AI explains patterns, drafts reports and answers questions from your records, and it asks before changing anything.
Who can see a child's progress?
Only people linked to that student: their teachers, their parents and their school's administrators, within the permissions the school sets. Each school's data is kept separate from every other school's.
Can I use it on my own, without a school?
Yes. Self-directed students and independent teachers have their own dashboards and plans.
Which devices does it work on?
Any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It can be installed as an app and has light and dark themes.
Where do you serve?
We are currently serving schools in the Chicago area. Individuals can use Shams AI from anywhere. Contact us if you would like your school considered.

Prices are in USD. Going past what a plan includes never stops your work: the extra is billed at the end of the month, and you can set a budget. Safety and privacy features are never extras. School tuition payments are processed by Stripe and paid to the school's own account; those fees are separate from a Shams AI plan. We are currently serving schools in the Chicago area.

About Shams AI
An intelligent Hifz companion built to serve the Muslim community — one āyah at a time.
SmartHifzAnalysisMonitoringSystem
Our Mission
Empowering Muslims to memorize, understand, and live by the Qur'ān — supported by tools that honor the tradition and serve the modern learner.
"
Shams AI exists to empower the Muslim community in their pursuit of Hifz al-Qur'ān — combining the timeless adab of traditional learning with the clarity, structure, and insight of modern technology.
Our community has long carried the Qur'ān in its heart. Yet today, students, teachers, and institutions often work without the structured tools needed to track progress, identify weaknesses, and sustain long-term retention. We believe this gap deserves a thoughtful, purpose-built solution — one rooted in service, not in distraction.
Through Shams AI, we aim to support every link in the chain of Qur'ānic education: the student striving for the next lesson, the teacher guiding ten students at once, the parent following their child's journey, and the institution coordinating an entire program. Our tools are built with one intention — to help the next generation of huffāz succeed, with iḥsān.
Clarity in Progress
Replace guesswork with structured tracking, giving every student a clear view of where they stand and where to go next.
Service to Institutions
Equip Hifz schools, masājid, and Islamic centers with admin-grade tools to run their programs with excellence.
Rooted in Adab
Built with care for the sanctity of the Qur'ān — respectful in design, modest in tone, focused on benefit.
Our Team
A small, intentional team committed to serving the Ummah through education and technology.

As Technical Lead, Junaid drives the platform's architecture, design, and engineering — balancing rigorous software craftsmanship with a deep concern for serving the Muslim community. His vision is to make Shams AI a trusted companion for every stage of Qur'ānic learning.
