الأسطرلاب، آلة عجيبة من صناعة العقل البشري، جمعت بين دقّة الحساب وجمال الهندسة. به تُرسم حركة الأفلاك، وتُقاس المسافات، ويُعرف الزمان والمكان. إنه بيت الحكمة في راحة اليد، ودليل السالك في ليلٍ بلا نجم. فمن أدرك أسراره، أدرك نظم الكون، ومن تأمله، علم أن في كل خط دائرة، وفي كل دائرة حكمة.
Our Story
From FIFA Nights to a Mission with Purpose
Muhammad Tarek & Muhammad Sakr
Where it all began
More Than Gamers — We Were Builders
Muhammad Tarek
CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Tarek had the gift of building structure and direction. His talent was in taking abstract ideas and giving them a concrete, actionable shape — the foundations on which we could build.
Muhammad Sakr
CO-FOUNDER & COO
I was obsessed with crafting what hadn't been imagined yet — pushing boundaries and exploring possibilities that others might have dismissed as impractical or too ambitious.
Together, we had two mindsets with one goal: create something meaningful. From academic projects to competitions and hackathons, we were always the duo chasing ideas that felt alive.
And it all began with a spark — in a dusty cyber café — with a controller in one hand and a dream in the other.
Building the Founding Team
Since we were just two minds starting the project of life — launching a company — we knew we'd need more support to handle different sectors of this journey. After all, trying to build something ambitious while still studying in college? It's not just tough… it's really tough.
So we turned to our network. We needed people who shared our long-term vision — and who had strengths we didn't. That's when we brought in Omar El-Gamal.
Omar, our close friend from college, was that one-of-a-kind missing piece. He had what we jokingly call “the golden key of communication” — someone who could talk to anyone, build genuine connections, and had a meme and sticker game that honestly deserves its own portfolio.

CTO
More than that, Omar was always close to us during our academic projects. Whenever he had the chance to help, he never hesitated — his support, reliability, and perspective made things smoother, sharper, and way more fun.
Adding Omar brought a sector into focus we hadn't even realized we were missing — outreach. While we were busy crafting and structuring, Omar helped make sure people actually knew who we are and why we exist.
Why the Name Ziij?
You might be wondering — what does “Ziij” even mean?
It's not just a random word we picked from a dictionary.
Ziij comes from Arabic: “زِيجٌ” (zīj) — referring to astronomical tables used by ancient scholars to map the stars and predict celestial movements. It's our way of connecting our cultural heritage with cutting-edge technology.
But the meaning goes deeper than just a name — it's about the philosophy behind it.
Ancient astronomical tables (zījes) were revolutionary tools used by scholars across cultures — from Baghdad to Toledo — to solve complex problems: navigation, timekeeping, understanding the cosmos, and predicting astronomical events.
These tables didn't just record data — they connected mathematics, astronomy, and practical application into a comprehensive system that made the universe's patterns accessible and usable.
That's exactly how we see Ziij: A modern system of innovation — carefully organized, mathematically precise, and designed to turn complex challenges into elegant solutions.
Some people call us “tech wizards” or “innovation architects” — and we embrace that. Because Ziij isn't just a company — it's a living framework. A platform that gives every meaningful idea the structure, precision, and connectivity to become something extraordinary.
Our Mission
With the dawn of modern AI — and its long “winter” finally over — we knew it was time to build something that brings these innovations into people's everyday digital lives.
Ziij exists to embed intelligence into the tools you already use. We create AI-powered, automation-first, SaaS-ready products that help individuals and businesses:
