Our story
Built by the community,
for the community.
MasjidConnect didn’t come from a startup pitch. It came from years of sitting in committee meetings, managing WhatsApp groups, and watching volunteers burn out on admin. We built the tool we always wished existed.
Started in Oxford · Built for every masjid
Our mission
Giving time back to the people who serve the masjid
Every week, masjid administrators, imams, and volunteers spend hours on operational work that should take minutes — scheduling prayer times, coordinating events, managing donations, communicating with the community across a dozen different channels.
MasjidConnect exists to change that. We handle the complexity so the people who run masjids can focus on what they actually came to do: serve Allah and serve the community.
We’re early. We’re honest about that. But every decision we make is guided by what masjids actually need, not what looks good on a product roadmap.
Community-built
Shaped by years of serving on a masjid committee. We know the problems because we lived them.
Volunteer-first design
Built for busy volunteers, not IT teams. If you can use a smartphone, you can run MasjidConnect.
UK-founded, worldwide vision
We started in Oxford and we're building for every masjid in the world. Wherever the community gathers.
A note from the team
“We didn't build MasjidConnect because we spotted a market gap. We built it because we were tired of the mess — tired of watching dedicated volunteers spend three hours on a task that should take three minutes.”
We're a small team of Muslims who have sat in committee meetings, set up screens in prayer halls, and replied to community WhatsApp groups at midnight. We know this world. And we're building the tool we always wished existed.
What we stand for
Values that guide everything we build
Not words on a wall — these shape every product decision, every support conversation, and every line of code we write.
Community First
We build for the people in the prayer hall, not the boardroom. Masjid administrators, imams, and worshippers. We listen and the software reflects it.
Islamic Values
We build with an understanding of Islamic principles — trust, transparency, and serving others. This is not just software; it is amanah.
Reliability
Prayer times cannot be wrong. Screens must not go blank. We build with the highest standards of reliability because your community depends on it.
Simplicity
Masjid administrators are volunteers. Our software is designed to be mastered in minutes, not months. No technical expertise required.
Our journey
From a digital prayer clock to a full platform
Six years. One masjid. A lot of WhatsApp groups. And one clear conclusion: masjids deserve better software.
A digital prayer clock
It started with one simple observation: the manual prayer-time boards in our local masjid were stuck in the past. We built a webpage — plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — that displayed prayer times as cleanly and clearly as we could manage. No frills, just function. That one page became the seed of everything.
The pandemic changed everything
When COVID closed masjid doors, our community lost its heartbeat. We wanted a way to keep people connected even when they couldn't gather in person — a mobile app, a platform, something more. The idea for MasjidConnect as a broader product was born out of that need to serve the community no matter the circumstances.
Feeling the pain from the inside
Being on the committee of a small masjid in Oxford gave us a front-row seat to the operational chaos that masjid administrators deal with every week: WhatsApp groups for announcements, spreadsheets for finances, separate apps for prayer times, nothing talking to each other. We stopped looking for a solution and started building one.
From side project to real platform
What started as a side project is now a complete platform. Digital screens, prayer times, events, donations, a mobile app, and a management dashboard. We've launched our MVP with our first pilot masjids and we're ready to grow. We started in the UK and we're building for every masjid in the world.

“The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others.”— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Al-Mu‘jam Al-Awsaṭ
This hadith is the compass for everything we build. Every feature, every decision, every line of code — in service of the community.
