Where’s My Masjid. Find Nearby Masjids, Qibla Direction, Jamaat Timings, and Verified Updates
Finding a masjid should be simple.
But in many places, Muslims still face the same problems:
- You search for a masjid, but the location is not always clear.
- You find a pin, but you do not know if the masjid is active.
- Jamaat timings are missing or outdated.
- Qibla apps can be unstable on some phones.
- Masjid updates are scattered across WhatsApp groups, posters, and word of mouth.
Where’s My Masjid is being built to solve that.
It is a Muslim-first app designed to help people find nearby masjids, check jamaat timings, get Qibla direction, save masjids, and receive trusted updates from verified masjid teams.
What is Where’s My Masjid?
Where’s My Masjid is a mobile-first web app for Muslims who want quick, trusted access to masjid information.
The goal is simple:
Find the nearest masjid. Know the prayer timing. Get the Qibla direction. Stay connected to verified masjid updates.
Whether you are at home, travelling, studying, working, or visiting a new city, the app helps you find nearby masjids and useful prayer-related information in one place.
Main features
Nearby masjid discovery
Search for nearby masjids using your current location or a selected area.
The app is designed to show nearby masjids clearly, with distance, navigation options, and trust status where available.
Jamaat timings
Where timings are verified, users can see jamaat times directly inside the app.
This helps answer one of the most important questions:
Can I reach the masjid before jamaat starts?
The app also separates verified timings from unverified listings, so users are not misled by uncertain information.
Qibla direction
The app includes a Qibla direction feature with a Kaaba/Makkah marker.
It supports live compass mode when the phone provides reliable compass data, and it also provides fallback options such as bearing direction and map line reference when a phone compass is unstable.
The app does not pretend every phone sensor is perfect. It is designed to be honest and reliable.
Save your masjids
Users can save masjids they visit often, making it easier to return to them later.
This is useful for:
- daily prayers
- Jumu’ah
- Ramadan
- travel
- regular community visits
Missing masjid reporting
If a masjid is missing, users can report it.
This helps improve coverage and allows the app to grow with community support.
Masjid claim system
One of the most important features is the masjid claim system.
Authorized masjid representatives can request to claim their masjid through a proper verification process.
Once approved, masjid teams can help maintain their own information, including:
- jamaat timings
- Jumu’ah timings
- announcements
- contact details
- facilities
- Ramadan updates
- temporary closure notices
- important community information
This turns the app from just a masjid finder into a trusted masjid information network.
Why this matters
Masjid information should not be confusing.
A Muslim should not have to search across multiple apps, old photos, WhatsApp messages, random map listings, and word of mouth just to find basic masjid details.
Where’s My Masjid is built around one idea:
Trusted masjid information should be easy to find.
The app is designed for normal users, travellers, students, workers, families, and masjid committees.
Built for trust
The app is not only about showing map pins.
It focuses on trust.
Masjid listings can have different levels of confidence, such as:
- verified masjid
- claimed by masjid team
- community suggested
- discovered from map providers
- needs verification
This helps users understand what information they can rely on.
For masjid teams, the claim system creates a proper way to keep their own details updated without giving random people control over public masjid information.
Who is this for?
Where’s My Masjid is for:
- Muslims looking for nearby masjids
- travellers who need prayer locations
- students and workers in new areas
- families looking for reliable jamaat information
- masjid committees who want to manage their public information
- communities that want better access to verified masjid updates
The bigger vision
The long-term goal is to build a trusted masjid network.
Not just:
“Where is the nearest masjid?”
But also:
“Is it verified?”
“What time is jamaat?”
“Can I reach on time?”
“Has the masjid updated anything today?”
“Is this information maintained by the masjid team?”
That is the future we want to build.
