Our animated short-form comedy series following Zaid, a Muslim navigating the workday with colleagues who mean well but don’t understand much about his Muslim practice.
Fajr To 5 draws humour from office routines, social misunderstandings, and the everyday negotiations around prayer, food, and workplace expectations.
This is Zaid
He's practicing, but chill - he does his wudu, fasts, and prays, but doesn’t make a big deal out of it. Although he tries to keep his cool, weird stuff constantly happens around him. Nevertheless, he knows when to smile politely and when to deliver a withering stare.

And these are Zaid's coworkers:
Patrick
Golden retriever energy, high-spirited, loyal, and a bit clueless. Patrick is the ultimate bro's bro and a ride-or-die friend to Zaid.
Stacy
Stacy is the bubbly and overly curious HR rep. She can be a bit ditzy, but her heart’s always in the right place. She tries to help, even if she doesn’t always know how.
Carla
The sweet, well-meaning office grandma. Carla is kind and nurturing, though she sometimes drops casually offensive remarks without realizing it.
Edwin
A self-proclaimed know-it-all with a nasally voice, Edwin loves throwing out random facts…that are usually wrong. He's a total workaholic and takes himself a bit too seriously.
Boss Man
A man of few words, he mostly communicates through grunts and intimidating stares. He's mysterious and a bit scary, but gets adorably awkward and blushes in uncomfortable situations.
