Yasmina Smart Speakers Now Feature Ramadan-Specific Content
Yango Group’s AI assistant is helping to enhance Ramadan 2025 with Quran recitations, prayer reminders, bedtime stories, and mindfulness tips.
Yango Group is helping to make Ramadan 2025 more immersive with the latest updates to its AI assistant, Yasmina. Designed for its smart speaker lineup, these features include Quran recitations in over 30 new voices, Ramadan-specific content, and bedtime stories for children — bringing families closer during the holy month.
World-Renowned Reciters
For those who cherish listening to the Quran, Yasmina now offers recitations from more than 30 world-renowned speakers, including Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy, Abdul Basit Muhammad Abdul Samad, and Yasir al-Dawsari. Whether you want to hear a complete recitation or a specific Surah, Yasmina provides a seamless experience. Just say, “Yasmina, play Surah At-Tawbah”.
Ramadan-Focused Content
Beyond Quran recitations, Yasmina is now packed with content designed to support spiritual growth. Users can access Ayat Al-Siyam and daily Ramadan Duas in both Arabic and English with simple voice commands like, “Yasmina, play Ramadan Dua” or “ياسمينة، شغلي أدعية رمضانية”.
Additionally, the assistant provides daily mindfulness tips, promoting reflection and well-being. To hear one, just ask, “Yasmina, what is your Ramadan advice for today?” or “ياسمينة، أيش نصيحة رمضان لليوم؟”.
Prayer Time Reminders
Yasmina’s smart speakers can now provide accurate prayer times for any location worldwide and even set reminders. A simple command like, “Yasmina, remind me of Fajr today,” ensures you stay on track with your prayers.
Bedtime Stories For Kids
Ramadan is an important time for families, and Yasmina now brings a special feature to help with bedtime routines. The smart assistant can play stories in both Arabic and English, with content ranging from Puss in Boots to tales from Shamandar, a popular children’s podcast. Parents can simply say, “ياسمينة، شغّلي قصص للنوم” or “Yasmina, play bedtime stories for children”.
Automatic Shutdown
Finally, for added convenience, Yasmina allows users to set a timer for automatic shutdown. Whether playing Quran recitations, Duas, or bedtime stories, just say, “Yasmina, turn off the device after half an hour”.
AI That Enhances Ramadan
“Ramadan is a time for reflection, family, and community,” said Rami Abu Arja, Senior Innovation Marketing Manager at Yasmina, Yango Group Middle East. “As we embrace this holy month, Yasmina stands ready to ease the daily lives of families across the GCC with its intelligent and culturally aware features. Whether it’s helping adults deepen their spiritual practice or lulling children to sleep with bedtime stories, Yasmina is here to help”.

The Petshop Launches UAE’s First Pet Care Super App
Dubai retailer folds shopping, bookings and pet records into one mobile hub that features reminders, personalization, and more.
The Petshop has introduced a “Super App” that pulls together shopping, service bookings and pet records into a single platform, pitching it as the first integrated pet care app of its kind in the UAE.
The release turns the company’s stores, services and e-commerce operation into one connected system. Instead of juggling calls, WhatsApp chats and paper notes, customers manage everything from one account.
Each pet gets a dedicated profile. Age, diet, medical notes and behavioral traits sit in one place and update over time. For households with multiple animals, it’s a practical fix: fewer lost details, fewer repeat explanations at the counter.
That data feeds the app’s personalization. Reminders, recommendations and service options adjust to the specific pet rather than defaulting to broad prompts.
Grooming, boarding, relocation, aquatics and wellness services are booked through the same flow. Users can check availability, lock in appointments and see past visits without hopping between tools. All of the key services can be accessed and booked with a few taps.
The company says records and documents are stored with added safeguards, including verified digital paperwork for sensitive information, while usage signals trigger timely prompts without exposing private data.
“Over the past fifteen years, we’ve grown alongside the pet community in the UAE and seen how pet ownership has evolved,” said Amr Hazem Youssef, CEO of The Petshop. “For pet families, care now depends on continuity, accurate information, and services that match real life, not isolated transactions. This app brings those elements into one place with a structure that supports reliable care”.

He added: “Pets have individual needs that change over time, and those needs shape daily decisions around routines, health, and wellbeing. By keeping information organized and connecting services within one system, we can reduce friction for pet families and deliver greater consistency across the experience.”
Founded in 2011, The Petshop now operates 11 outlets across the United Arab Emirates, including megastores in Dubai Investment Park and Abu Dhabi’s Al Reem Island, plus an online catalogue of more than 12,000 products.
The Petshop Super App is available on both the App Store and Google Play.
