The board

Readable from the back of the hall

Big numbers, calm colours and the next prayer always lit. On any TV or monitor, standing or lying down.

Features

Everything a mosque needs from a prayer board

Every feature came from a question a mosque committee actually asked.

Accurate local times

Set to the timetable your mosque already follows, such as the Samastha calendar, and matched to your printed calendar minute by minute.

Azan and Iqama alarm

Short beeps at the Azan, a long one at the Iqama. Loud, medium or soft, with a quieter Fajr for the neighbours.

Live countdowns

A countdown to the next Azan and Iqama, and a full-screen countdown in the last minute so nobody misses the Iqama.

Jumu'ah, Ramadan and Eid

Friday switches to Jumu'ah by itself. Ramadan adds Imsak and an Iftar countdown. Tarawih and Eid times shown in their own boxes.

Three languages

English, Arabic and Malayalam, any one shown first and largest. Hijri date kept in step with the Kerala calendar.

Managed from a phone

The committee changes Iqama times, Jumu'ah and Ramadan days from their phone and sees when the board has received them.

No internet needed

The board keeps more than a year of times on its own. A phone brings it new times in about a minute when something changes.

Safe through power cuts

Keeps the right time while the power is off and starts again by itself. Switching off at any moment does no harm.

Screen on only when needed

The screen can turn on before each Azan and off after the Iqama, so the TV lasts longer and uses less power.

Alerts and weekly report

An email if the board has not been in touch for a long time, and a weekly summary of alarms played and power cuts.

Free updates

Improvements reach your board by themselves. If an update ever fails, the board goes back to the version that worked.

Logins for the committee

Each member gets their own login. You decide who may change what, and a lost phone can be signed out at once.

Requirements

What you need, and what we bring

Most mosques already have everything on their side of the list.

The mosque provides

  • A TV or monitor with an HDMI input, any size. The screen is not included.
  • A power socket near the screen.
  • A smartphone with mobile data for the committee member who updates the times.
  • A place on the wall where the hall can see the screen.

Not needed: Wi-Fi or an internet connection at the mosque.

We supply

  • The board unit in a protective case, with its power adapter.
  • The alarm: a buzzer for a small hall, or a louder siren for a large one.
  • Cables and fixings for a neat installation.
  • The software and phone app, set up for your mosque, with logins for the committee.
  • Installation, training and support, as described above.

After installation

Changing the times takes a minute

The board runs on its own all year. When the committee changes something, this is all it takes.

  1. 1

    Change it on the phone

    Open the app, change the Iqama time or set the Ramadan days, and press Publish.

  2. 2

    Switch on the hotspot

    At the mosque, turn on the phone's hotspot for a minute. The board picks up the change by itself.

  3. 3

    See that it arrived

    The app shows that the board has the new times. No guessing, no climbing ladders.

Peace of mind

Designed for the bad days

A board that stops at Fajr is worse than no board. This is what happens when something goes wrong.

400 days of prayer times kept on the board

  5. 14 days left: reminder

Power cut

The board keeps the right time while the power is off and starts again by itself when it returns. It never sounds a late alarm.

No internet for months

Nothing changes. Times, alarms, Hijri date and Ramadan all run from the board itself.

Times running low

From 14 days left, a gentle reminder on the board and in the app. One minute with the hotspot gives it another year.

Something looks wrong

Message us. We can see when your board last checked in and help you over the phone.

Questions

What committees ask us

Do we need Wi-Fi or internet at the mosque?

No. The board keeps more than a year of times and runs the clock and alarm on its own. A phone hotspot for a minute is enough when you change the times.

Will the times match our printed calendar?

Yes. We set the board to the timetable your mosque follows, such as Samastha, and check it against your printed calendar before installation.

What kind of screen do we need?

Any TV or monitor with an HDMI input, in landscape or portrait. The mosque provides the screen; we connect the board to it.

What happens during a power cut?

The board keeps the right time and starts again by itself when the power returns. It never sounds an alarm late for a prayer it missed.

Who can change the times?

Only the committee members you choose. Each person has their own login, and a lost phone can be signed out at once.

How loud is the alarm?

We fit a buzzer for a small hall and a louder siren for a large one. The volume can be set, with a quieter Fajr.

How long does installation take?

The board is prepared before we come, so the installation itself is usually done in a single visit, including the test prayer and training.

What do we have to maintain?

Almost nothing. Switch on the hotspot when you change the times, or once a year so the board gets the next year's times. Updates install themselves.
