Allow External Web Embeds in Pages (for Third-Party Tools)
Many mosques rely on specialised third-party platforms to provide certain services such as bookings, accessibility tools, and registrations. It would be extremely helpful if pages within Masjidbox could support embedding external web content (for example via webview or iframe). This would allow mosques to integrate third-party tools directly into the Masjidbox app while keeping the app as the central hub for community services. For example: • embedding a booking system such as SimplyBook.me for funeral services, nikah bookings, or hall hire • embedding a live translation feed from Baian.ai so users can follow khutbah translations inside the app • embedding external registration systems or educational platforms Currently mosques often have to send users to external websites or QR codes to access these services. Allowing external embeds would make the experience much more seamless and keep users within the mosque app. Benefits include: • reducing administrative workload • improving accessibility for multilingual communities • allowing mosques to extend functionality without needing new built-in features • making Masjidbox more flexible for mosques with growing digital infrastructure
API & Webhook Access for Automation (Zapier / Make / AI Integrations)
As mosques grow, many administrative tasks could be automated if Masjidbox supported integrations with automation platforms. It would be extremely helpful if Masjidbox provided: 1. API Access Allow external systems to securely read and write Masjidbox data. Examples: events users / registrations donations announcements 2. Webhooks Allow Masjidbox to send real-time notifications when certain events occur. Examples: donation received event created user registration new content published This would allow mosques to integrate Masjidbox with automation platforms such as: Zapier Make Google Workspace tools AI assistants WhatsApp automation Benefits: • Reduces administrative workload • Enables advanced automation workflows • Allows mosques to connect Masjidbox with other digital tools
Flexible recurring donation frequencies (weekly / fortnightly / custom)
Currently recurring donations only support a monthly schedule. It would be very beneficial to allow flexible recurrence options. Suggested options could include: Weekly Fortnightly Monthly Custom recurring day (e.g. every Friday) This would allow donors to align their giving with weekly salaries, fortnightly pay cycles, or Jumu’ah donations, making recurring giving more convenient and likely increasing long-term donor retention. Example use cases: Donate £5 every Friday Donate £10 every 2 weeks Donate £25 on the 1st of each month
Auto Silence Phone
Assalamu Alaikum Problem Phones ring during Salah. This is distracting, especially when praying in congregation at the Masjid. Potential Solutions When the MasjidBox app detects the phone is at any masjid, the app silences the phone ringer. Silence the phone ringer after Athan and restore the previous ringer settings 30 minutes after Iqamah Solution #1 Details The solution assumes: MasjidBox is already keeping a record of the address/location of a Masjid when it enrolls into the program Asking the user for their location and managing the ringer settings is within company policy The user approves the necessary permission requests. To determine if the phone is at a masjid, the app could compare the location of the phone and the location of the masajid in it’s database. If they’re close to each other, say within a 100ft radius, the app would silence the phone. Once the phone is outside of that radius, the phone ringer would be restored to its previous state. The location comparison can be done on a regular and reasonable interval, maybe every 15 minutes. Solution #2 Details The solution assumes: Asking the user to manage the ringer settings is within company policy The user approves the necessary permission requests. An event is already processed at Athan time (the notification). Process another event to mute the ringer. Schedule a second event 30 minutes after Iqama to restore the ringer settings. Suggested Solution Solution #2 requires less permissions (no location) more straightforward calculation (no comparison with the list of all masajid) more performative (no code execution at regular intervals) uses the existing pattern of event processing at athan time broader solution (the phone is silenced even if the user prays at home) Failed Solutions Remind attendees before salah to mute their phones. The reminder is ignored JazakAllahu Khairan
Feature Request: Add Taraweeh to Alerts Settings
Dear Masjidbox Team, I would like to submit a feature request regarding the Alerts Settings. Currently, we can configure alerts for Jumuah and the five daily prayers. It would be very helpful to also include Taraweeh as an adjustable option, similar to the existing prayer settings. This would allow us to automatically disable or pause the display during Taraweeh in Ramadan, ensuring the screen does not remain active during the prayer. Since Taraweeh is a central prayer during Ramadan, having it integrated into the Alerts Settings would improve usability and automation for many mosques. Thank you for considering this enhancement. I look forward to your feedback.
Dual-Language Support (App & Website)
We would like to request built-in dual-language support for both the mobile app and the website. Currently, the platform interface supports English only. For mosques serving multilingual communities, this presents accessibility limitations. In our case, a significant portion of our congregation is Turkish-speaking diaspora, and many members are more comfortable engaging with digital services in Turkish than English. We would like the ability to: Enable two (or more) languages per mosque Provide our own translations for all editable text content Allow users to toggle language in settings (similar to selecting language on a mobile device) Maintain language preference per user session Important clarification: We are happy to provide all required translations ourselves. This does not need to be a managed translation service. We simply require the structural capability within the platform. For example: App settings → Language → English / Turkish Website header → Language toggle This would significantly improve accessibility, inclusivity, and user engagement for multilingual communities. Providing dual-language capability would allow Masjidbox to better serve diaspora mosques across the UK and Europe.
Public-Facing Donation Transparency Visuals
We would like to request an optional transparency feature that displays a visual allocation breakdown after a donor completes a contribution. This would appear on the donation confirmation page and/or email receipt only (not necessarily on the public campaign page). The purpose would be to visually communicate how funds are allocated at a high level, based on predefined annual percentages set by the mosque administration. For example: Mosque Maintenance Allocation (2026) 40% Utilities 25% Repairs & Maintenance 15% Education & Programmes 10% Staff Costs 10% Community Services Important clarification: The percentages would be manually set by the mosque (once per year or campaign). This would not represent automated financial routing or live accounting. It would be a visual transparency statement reflecting the mosque’s planned allocation model. A simple pie or ring chart (similar to those already visible within the admin dashboard) would be sufficient. This feature would: Enhance donor confidence Improve transparency culture Encourage recurring donations Align with modern expectations of institutional accountability
Simplified & Customisable “Next Prayer” Display (Accessibility Mode)
The homepage “Next Prayer” display is visually clean, but it currently offers only one layout option. Some elderly members of our congregation find it difficult to interpret all of the elements displayed simultaneously. It would be beneficial to allow administrators to customise or simplify this display. For example, optional display modes such as: A. Simplified Mode (Elder-Friendly View) Prayer name Iqamah time only (or Adhan time only – selectable) Large countdown timer Reduced secondary information This would make it immediately clear when congregants need to leave home. B. Iqamah-Focused Mode Many attendees prioritise the Iqamah time rather than the Adhan. A toggle allowing: “Focus on Iqamah” Or “Focus on Adhan” would improve clarity. C. Large Text / High-Contrast Mode Larger font sizes Increased contrast Reduced interface clutter D. Optional Information Toggles Allow admins to toggle: Hijri date Gregorian date Countdown timer Ramadan countdown News preview This would let mosques tailor the interface to their demographic.
Monthly View for Dedicated Prayer Times Page
The app includes a dedicated Prayer Times page, which is useful. However, it currently only displays prayer times on a day-by-day basis. On other custom pages within the platform, a monthly view component is available and works well. It would make practical sense to integrate this same monthly view option into the dedicated Prayer Times page. Many users prefer to: View the full month at a glance Plan around Jummah timing shifts Check Ramadan prayer variations Compare time changes across weeks Having only a single-day display limits usability, particularly during Ramadan and seasonal time shifts. Allowing administrators to enable a monthly view toggle (Day / Month) within the dedicated Prayer Times page would significantly improve user experience without requiring a completely new feature — as the functionality already exists elsewhere in the platform.
Full Calendar Localisation (Months & Interface Language)
The custom calendar feature is very useful, particularly the ability to rename prayer times (e.g. changing “Fajr” to “Sabah”). However, localisation currently appears incomplete. While prayer names can be translated, the month names remain fixed in English (e.g. January, February), even when a different language is being used for the rest of the calendar. For communities operating in Turkish, Arabic, Urdu or other languages, this creates an inconsistent user experience. It would be beneficial to allow: Month names to follow the selected language Full calendar localisation Optional language selection per calendar view This would make the feature feel complete and better serve multilingual communities.
Advanced Recurring Events & Calendar-Based Editing Needed
As a mosque operating at significant scale (multiple weekly classes, monthly programmes, seasonal events, hall bookings and volunteer-led activities), the current recurring event functionality is too limited for practical use. At present, recurrence is restricted to simple Daily / Weekly / Monthly patterns with weekday selection. This does not support the operational complexity required by many mosques. We would greatly benefit from the following improvements: 1. Advanced Recurrence Rules Every X weeks (e.g. fortnightly) Monthly by position (e.g. 1st Saturday, 3rd Friday, last Sunday) Custom recurrence intervals Defined start and end date ranges Ability to exclude specific dates (e.g. Eid, bank holidays, closures) Term-based scheduling (e.g. January–March only) Seasonal modes (e.g. Ramadan-only series) 2. Calendar-Based Editing A visual monthly calendar view where administrators can: Click individual occurrences Cancel a single date without breaking the full series Edit a single occurrence (time change, speaker change, cancellation) Edit the entire series if required This would significantly improve internal event management and reduce scheduling errors. 3. Conflict Alerts It would be helpful to receive warnings if two events overlap in the same location or time slot. 4. Improved “Add to Calendar” for Users For the public-facing side, it would also be beneficial to make adding events to personal calendars easier. For example: One-click iCal (.ics) download Google Calendar direct add button Outlook / Apple Calendar compatibility This improves attendance rates and reduces confusion around event times. Many standard calendar systems (e.g. Google Calendar) already provide advanced recurrence rules, exception handling, and visual calendar editing. Without similar functionality, institutions are often forced to manage events externally and use Masjidbox primarily for display purposes.
Add plus and minus button for hijri setting calendar
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah. For the hijri calendar setting, i want to suggest add plus and minus setting to adjust the hijri date. There are some countries that are a day or more behind us, so it makes it easier for people to set the hijri date according to their country.
Mithl 1 - Urgent
In order to accommodate more of our community who follow different schools of thought, it is imperative that we include Mithl 1 as well as Mithl 2 for ‘Asr, as do many masajid in the UK and around the world. Example: https://www.eastlondonmosque.org.uk/prayer-times Can we please consider incorporating this as a matter of urgency please.

Time to prayer
Is it possible to display 1 or 2 mins to iqamah in big fonts on the entire screen rather than as a banner or bottom of screeen ?
Flashing Button
it would be good if there is an option to have Flashing Button within the pages as well as applications
Prayer Times Small Widget Issue
Regarding Prayer Times Small widget, for the mobile version you are not shown the titles Adhan and Iqamah as you are on the Desktop version. This is a critical to ensure people are not confused.

Prayer Timetable for Download
How do we include a link for our prayer timetable to be downloaded from for Pages (Web) and Applications (Mobile App)? we have a link on our host servers but need for it to be downloaded when a download is pressed? Perhaps a widget to customise the HTML code to allow the timetable to be downloaded from a specific URL. Or even better, an option to upload prayer timetable in pdf format to our MasjidBox library to create a download link from here?
