Ramadan in the UAE has just gotten a lot easier for families, thanks to the Yasmina Midi from Yango Group. Whether you’re counting down to iftar, keeping track of prayer times, or enjoying Quran recitations, this voice-first smart speaker becomes an indispensable companion during the holy month.

Unlike typical smart devices that often sit unused, the Yasmina Midi comes to life during Ramadan. With simple, natural voice commands, it can tell you exactly what you need: from “Which day of Ramadan is it today?” to “How much time until iftar?” After the initial setup, no app is required—anyone in your household can use it with just their voice.

Beyond countdowns, the speaker makes scheduling effortless. You can set alarms for prayer times or specific Quran recitations, and each notification plays clearly and on time. The device also offers curated spiritual playlists; asking, “Yasmina, play Ramadan dua,” instantly provides a meaningful listening experience.

One feature that stands out for family use is the Ramadan quiz. Yasmina can run simple, voice-driven quizzes in Arabic or English, providing an interactive and educational experience for children and adults alike. While many of these functions could be replicated with smartphone apps, Yasmina keeps your hands free, making it convenient for busy households.

For families seeking a practical, voice-first assistant during Ramadan, the Yasmina Midi delivers reliability, ease of use, and engaging features that enhance daily routines.

Price & availability (UAE): Yasmina AI assistants are available in four versions: Yasmina Lite (Dh149), Mini (Dh249), Midi (Dh449), and Max (Dh1,199), sold at major retailers and online.
