Masjidly is a free, community-driven platform that helps Muslims discover nearby masjids, access accurate salah times, and stay updated with jamat schedules and announcements. It is built for the community, by the community, and will always remain free to use with no ads or premium tiers.

You can sign up using your phone number with a one-time verification PIN, or sign in with your Google account. After signing up, you will set a display name. Your account lets you follow masjid communities, save addresses, and personalise your salah calculation preferences.

Allow location access so Masjidly can show nearby masjids and calculate salah times for your area. Head to the Find Masjid tab to discover communities around you. Follow your local masjid to see its jamat timings and announcements. Check the Salah tab for prayer times at your location.

Search results are based on your current location and sorted by distance, nearest first. You can search by masjid name or by area. Results show verified communities so you can trust the information you see.

At the top of the Find Masjid page, you will see quick filter chips to narrow your search. "All" shows every community. "Nearby" limits results to within 5 km. "Has Timings" shows communities with jamat schedules. "Masjid" filters for masjids only. "Musalla" filters for prayer spaces. "Needs Admin" shows communities that need someone to manage them.

Masjidly lists two types of communities. A Masjid is a permanent place of worship where daily prayers and Friday congregations are held. A Musalla is a smaller or temporary prayer space, sometimes called a praying area, often found in offices, malls, or community halls.

Tap the Follow button on any community page to start following it. Once you follow a community, it appears on your Communities tab where you can quickly see its next jamat time and latest announcements.

The Communities tab shows all the masjids you follow. Each card displays the masjid name, location, and the next upcoming jamat time. This is your home screen for quick access to the masjids you regularly pray at.

Communities can list their available facilities so you know what to expect. These include Wudhu Area, Sehri Arrangements, Iftar Arrangements, Taraweeh for Sisters, and Hostel for Bachelors. Facilities are managed by the community admin.

If you regularly pray at a masjid, you can apply to become its admin. During the application, you verify your proximity to the masjid using your device location or a saved address. Once approved, you can manage the community's information.

Admins can update jamat timings, create and manage announcements, edit community details like name and type, update the address and map location, change the community image, manage facilities, and set fiqh orientation and gender access tags.

As an admin, your role is to keep jamat timings accurate and up to date, post relevant announcements, and ensure all community information is truthful. This is a form of sadaqah jariyah, as every person who benefits from accurate information you maintain earns you ongoing reward, inshaAllah.

Jamat timings on Masjidly are maintained by community admins who pray at that masjid. This means the timings reflect what is actually happening at the masjid, not data pulled from outdated sources.

Admins can set jamat times for Fajr, Zuhr, Asar, and Isha directly. For Maghrib, a buffer in minutes is set which is added to the calculated sunset time, since Maghrib changes daily. Multiple jamat times can be added for a single prayer if the masjid has more than one congregation. Friday and Eid timings can be set separately.

Maghrib time changes every day based on sunset. The admin sets a buffer, for example 5 or 10 minutes, which is added after the Maghrib adhan time to determine when the jamat begins. This way, the Maghrib jamat time adjusts automatically throughout the year.

Masjidly calculates prayer times using established astronomical methods based on your location. The same internationally recognised standards used by major Islamic organisations are applied. For the most accurate times, make sure your location is set correctly.

Masjidly supports over 20 recognised calculation methods from Islamic organisations around the world, including University of Islamic Sciences Karachi, ISNA, Muslim World League, Umm Al-Qura University Makkah, and many regional standards. The default method is automatically selected based on your country.

This setting affects the Asar prayer time. The Hanafi school calculates Asar when an object's shadow is twice its length. The Shafi, Maliki, and Hanbali schools calculate it when the shadow equals the object's length, resulting in an earlier Asar time. The default is set based on your country.

The Salah page shows the Hijri (Islamic) date alongside the Gregorian date. If the displayed Hijri date does not match your local moon sighting, you can adjust it by up to 2 days forward or backward from the calculation settings.

Masjidly uses your device location to show nearby masjids and calculate accurate salah times. When you first open the app, it will ask for location permission. If you prefer not to share your location, you can manually set it by saving an address.

For the best experience, allow location access when prompted by your browser. If you previously blocked it, you can re-enable it from your browser settings. On Chrome, click the lock icon in the address bar and set Location to Allow. The Settings page has a Location Access toggle that shows your current permission status.

You can save up to 22 addresses with custom labels like Home, Work, or Masjid. Saved addresses let you quickly switch your location without relying on GPS. To add an address, go to Settings, then Location, then Manage Addresses, and search for the location on the map.

Announcements are community updates posted by the admin of a masjid. They can include schedule changes, upcoming events, Ramadan arrangements, or any other important update. All followers of a community can view its announcements.

Admins can pin important announcements so they stay at the top of the list. Announcements can also be set to expire automatically after 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. Once expired, the announcement is removed automatically.

Tap your name or avatar at the top of the Settings page to edit your profile. You can change your display name (up to 50 characters) and update your profile picture. If you signed up with Google, your Google profile picture is used by default but can be changed anytime.

You can link your Google account for easy sign-in. Your phone number and email are shown in the Connected Accounts section of Settings. You can add or update these details at any time.

If you find a community with incorrect timings, a wrong address, inappropriate content, or if the masjid does not exist, you can report it. Select a reason and include a brief description if needed. The Masjidly team reviews all reports.

When you enable notifications, your browser will ask for permission. Once granted, you will receive alerts for upcoming jamat times at the communities you follow, helping you stay on schedule for congregational prayers.

You can enable or disable notifications from the Settings page under the Notifications section. The toggle shows your current permission status. If notifications are blocked at the browser level, you will need to change this in your browser settings.
