About us

We sat on the committee too.

MasjidConnect started in a small masjid in Oxford, where volunteers did the same jobs by hand every week. We built the tool we wished we'd had.

How it started.

  1. 2019

    A clock on the wall

    The prayer times board in our local masjid had to be changed by hand, tile by tile. We made a simple web page that showed the times clearly on a TV. That one page was the start of everything.

  2. 2020

    When the doors closed

    During Covid, people could not come to the masjid. We wanted them to still see the times, the notices and the programmes from home. The idea for something bigger came from there.

  3. Every week

    On the committee

    Sitting on a small masjid committee in Oxford showed us the rest. Notices in WhatsApp groups, money in spreadsheets, prayer times in another app, and none of it joined up.

  4. Today

    In real masjids

    Masjids now use MasjidConnect every day for their screens, prayer times, giving, events and app. We still build it the same way: by listening to the people who run them.

What a masjid says

Another feature I really value is their willingness to listen to feedback and accommodate changes that suit the way our organisation operates.

What we hold to.

  1. 01

    The times must be right

    People plan their day around your jamaat times. The screens must not go blank and the times must not be wrong.

  2. 02

    Built for volunteers

    Most people running a masjid have a day job. Anything we make should be learnt in minutes, by anyone on the committee.

  3. 03

    It's an amanah

    You trust us with your masjid's money and your community's details. We are open about what we charge and careful with what we keep.

  4. 04

    The masjid comes first

    We build for the people in the prayer hall. When a masjid asks for something that would help, we listen.

خَيْرُ النَّاسِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ

“The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others.”
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Al-Mu‘jam Al-Awsaṭ

No monthly fees, ever

Start with one screen tonight.

Your first 30 days include everything in the Masjid licence. After that, one screen stays free for good. When the committee is ready for more, the licence is a single payment.
