If you do not receive the verification email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. Mark it as ‘not spam’ so future emails land in your inbox.
Setting Up Your Masjid Profile
A complete masjid profile helps MasjidConnect provide accurate defaults for prayer time calculations and ensures your community can find you if you publish your masjid’s page.
Key fields to fill in
- Masjid name — the full name of your masjid as it should appear on screens and communications
- Address and postcode — used to set your timezone and location for accurate prayer time calculations
- Contact email — used for system notifications and support
- Logo — upload your masjid’s logo; it will appear on display screens and the mobile app (paid plans)
- Colour scheme — customise the accent colour for your masjid’s displays (paid plans)
To update your profile at any time, go to Settings → Masjid Profile in the admin dashboard.
Dashboard Tour
The MasjidConnect admin dashboard is organised into sections in the left sidebar. Here is a quick overview of the main areas:
Dashboard (Home)
Your overview page showing today’s prayer times, active screens, recent announcements, and any alerts requiring your attention.
Prayer Times
Manage your prayer schedule — set calculation methods, Jamaat times, seasonal patterns, Jumuah settings, and import from a CSV file. This is one of the most important sections to set up first.
Screens
Pair and manage your display screens. See which screens are online, push content updates, and configure each screen’s orientation and display settings.
Announcements
Send real-time announcements to all paired screens simultaneously. Use for Jumuah time changes, community notices, janazah announcements, and more.
Events, Donations, Members
Additional modules available on paid plans. Events lets you manage and sell tickets; Donations handles Zakat and Sadaqah; Members manages your community CRM.
Settings
Manage your masjid profile, admin users, billing, and notification preferences.
Next Steps
Now that your account is set up, here are the most impactful things to do next:
- Set up your prayer times — configure your calculation method and Jamaat schedule
- Connect a display screen — pair a TV or monitor with your account
- Send your first announcement — test pushing a message to your screens
