Muslim.Blue for your masjid

What Blue does for your masjid

• Prayer times, everywhere at once

  Set your iqamah and Jumu'ah times once in the Office. They show on your masjid's page on Muslim.Blue, on your screens, on your website and, once it is out, in the Muslim.Blue app.

  

  What it includes

  • Each iqamah is a number of minutes after the adhan or a fixed time, with seasonal rules and one-day changes.
  • Up to four Jumu'ah slots, each with its khutbah time, and its language and hall if you like.
  • Adhan times are calculated for your place with the method your masjid picks, and the Hijri date is calculated, by local sighting or by Umm al-Qura, as you choose.
  • If an iqamah would come before its adhan or after its time ends, Blue emails you and shows a safe time until it is fixed.
  • Every Thursday, one email shows the coming week to approve or change.
  • Bring your times over from Masjidal or a spreadsheet.

  • Your own funds, with zakat always kept apart and never moved.
  • Recurring gifts, pledges, and campaign pages with a progress bar.
  • Giving by text, and a card reader for the lobby, bought at Stripe's own price.
  • Receipts from your masjid, and a statement of each donor's year every January.
  • Refunds are your masjid's decision, made from the Office.

• Sell your masjid's records, or use them to advertise to anyone.
• Decide your iqamah, your Ramadan or your Eid. Each masjid announces its own.
• Give tax advice. Your treasurer chooses the wording on your masjid's receipts.
• Lock you in. Your treasurer can export your gifts, donors and payouts at any time, and an owner or treasurer can cancel online.

How to start

1. Find your masjid's page

   Most masjids in the United States are listed already. Find yours and claim it. If it is not listed, set it up instead.

2. Show us you serve there

   With an email at the masjid's own web address, a letter we mail to it, a call from our front desk, or a document. We check every claim, usually within a day or two.

3. Set your times and publish

   Set your iqamah and Jumu'ah times, or bring them from Masjidal or a spreadsheet, then publish. Your 30-day free trial starts that day, with no card.

4. Keep going

   Add a card before the trial ends, or let a sponsor pay. The first 25 masjids to start paying keep their price for life.
