Add your mosque to Salah Locator or claim an existing listing

Anyone can put a mosque on Salah Locator: an imam, a committee member or someone who simply prays there. Create an ordinary account, then choose Register a mosque in the Android app's Profile, or + Register a mosque on your website dashboard. The listing stays private until a platform administrator approves it. If the mosque is already listed and nobody looks after it, claim that listing instead of adding a second one.

Before you start: is it already listed?

Search for the mosque on Find or Browse first. Many mosques were imported from OpenStreetMap and say Listing from OpenStreetMap contributors — not yet confirmed by the mosque. If yours is one of them, claiming it keeps the mosque in one place, rather than splitting its followers between two half-updated listings.

Create your account

On the website, tap Register. In the app, open Profile → Sign in → Create an account. You need a full name, an email and a password; a phone number is optional.

Add a mosque in the app

1. Open Profile and tap Register a mosque. (If you already manage one, tap My mosques, then + Register a mosque.)
2. Where is it? Search for the mosque or its address, or tap the map and drag the pin onto the building. If you are standing in the mosque, tap Use my current location. The app shows how accurate the position is.
3. The app shows Checking whether this mosque is already listed…. If it finds listings nearby, it shows them with the distance and three choices: View, That is mine — claim it (for listings with no administrator) or None of these — continue. A listing that says Already has an administrator can't be claimed.
4. Name and address. Enter the Mosque name and check the Street address, which is filled in from the pin, then the country and city.
5. Contact and facilities. All optional: phone, email, website, the imam's name, capacity, a description, what the mosque has (parking, wudu area and so on) and a cover photo.
6. Prayer times. Enter the Adhan and Iqaamah for each prayer, or tap Skip — add prayer times later.
7. Check and submit. Look over the summary and tap Submit for approval, then Continue to your mosque.

Add a mosque on the website

1. Sign in and open Dashboard.
2. In the sidebar, choose + Register a mosque. (Already manage one? Open Your Mosques and tap + Add a mosque.)
3. Fill in Basic details: the mosque name (English is required; you can add other languages in the tabs), the imam's name, capacity and a main photo.
4. Under Location, enter the Address, choose the country and city, and set the Timezone. Every prayer time is read in this time zone. Enter the latitude and longitude, or tap 📍 Use my current location while at the mosque.
5. Under Contact & facilities, add a phone, email and website, and tick the facilities the mosque has.
6. Tap Save mosque. You'll see Mosque submitted — it will appear publicly once a Super Admin approves it.

While your listing awaits approval

A new listing is pending and isn't visible to the public yet. You can already fill in everything, so it is complete the day it goes live. On the website, Your Mosques shows each listing's state: Live, Awaiting approval, Not approved or Hidden, and flags No prayer times yet where a timetable is missing. The app marks a pending listing Awaiting approval.

Claim a listing nobody manages

If the mosque is already on Salah Locator with no administrator:

1. Open its page in the Android app and tap the three-dot menu at the top right.
2. Choose Claim this mosque. (It only appears on listings with no administrator.)
3. Pick Your role at this mosque: Imam, Committee member or Other.
4. Under How can we verify you?, add something that helps, such as a phone number on the mosque's own notice board.
5. Tap Submit claim. An administrator reviews it, and once it's confirmed you manage the listing's times, announcements and events.

Helping run someone else's listing

If the mosque already has an administrator, ask them first. Contributor access, which gives a second person the same editing rights without taking ownership, is granted by the Salah Locator team: create an ordinary account, then email support@abdohoo.app with the mosque and your account email.

Once your mosque is set up, update its prayer timings and post announcements and events. For advice on keeping a listing trustworthy, read Putting your mosque's prayer times online.
