Founded in 2021, iQIBLA created the smart dhikr (ذِكْر, remembrance of god) ring category and has since shipped more than 3.5 M devices worldwide, with particularly strong uptake across GCC markets including KSA, the UAE, and Kuwait. There has been broader adoption across the Middle East and Southeast Asia, iQIBLA said.
The Zikr Ring J03, iQIBLA's third-generation smart ring and the first to integrate Qibla direction into a ring-based wearable. Designed for discreet, continuous use, the device supports nine dhikr channels, touch controls, text display, prayer time reminders, and daily activity tracking.
Also featured is the Qwatch S6, a third-generation Bluetooth smart watch equipped with medical-grade sensors. The device monitors heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour. Alongside these health functions, it includes Quran access, prayer time reminders, qibla direction, a tasbih counter, multiple dhikr channels, and a Hijri calendar.
Completing the lineup is the Hajj Band, developed specifically for Hajj, umrah, and other high-exertion, high-density environments. The wearable continuously collects vital-sign data, uploads health information in real time, and issues alerts as physical strain increases, supporting users during prolonged walking, heat exposure, and crowd-intensive conditions.
"From the beginning, our focus has been on building technology that fits naturally into daily life," said the founder of iQIBLA, Jack Shao.
"Many of our real-world use cases come directly from the Middle East. CES gives us a platform to show how these products sit naturally alongside the wider global consumer technology industry."
