Read a mosque's timetable: Adhan, Iqaamah and estimated times

Every mosque timetable in Salah Locator has two columns. Adhan is the time of the call to prayer, when the prayer's time begins. Iqaamah is the time the congregation stands to pray, which is the time to aim for if you want to join the jamaʼah. Under the table, a short note tells you whether the times were published by the mosque, include a correction from someone who prays there, are provisional, or are only an estimate.

The Adhan and Iqaamah columns

Open any mosque from Find, Browse, Pray Now or Saved. The timetable lists Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, with the Adhan time in the middle column and the Iqaamah time on the right. The website highlights the next prayer with a Next badge.

A few other details:

• Jumuʼah has its own row. If the mosque holds a second congregation, the website shows both Iqaamah times (for example 1:15 PM / 2:00 PM) and the app adds a Jumuʼah 2 row.
• Times shown in tells you the mosque's time zone. Every mosque's times are shown in its own local time, so a mosque abroad shows its real local Iqaamah.
• The dark bar above the table on the website counts down to the Next Iqaamah and shows today's Hijri date. In the app, the NEXT CONGREGATION card does the same.
• Sehri ends and Iftar appear under the table. See Jumuʼah, Ramadan, Tarawih and Eid times.

Where the times come from

Salah Locator tells you who stands behind each timetable, because a time the imam entered and a guess look identical otherwise.

Below that, Confirmed shows when the times were last saved by the mosque. If that was about six months ago or more, the note changes to Last confirmed … — the times may have changed since.

Estimated times when a mosque hasn't published

Many mosques in the directory were added from OpenStreetMap and haven't published a timetable yet. The website shows Timings have not been published yet. The app goes a step further and calculates the Adhan times from the mosque's location, behind a clear notice and a Calculated badge on the countdown. The Iqaamah column shows a dash, because only the mosque knows when its congregation stands.

Change the calculation method or Asr setting

Estimated times depend on the convention used for Fajr, Isha and Asr. To match what your community follows:

1. Open Profile and scroll down to Calculation method.
2. Tap one of Muslim World League (the default), ISNA (North America), Egyptian Authority, Umm al-Qura (Makkah), Karachi or Tehran.
3. Under Asr method, choose Standard (Shafi) or Hanafi. The Hanafi Asr is later, because it waits until an object's shadow is twice its length.

The change applies at once to estimated times on mosque pages and on the home-screen widget. It never changes times a mosque has published. Schools of thought differ on these conventions, so follow your local mosque or a scholar you trust; How prayer times are calculated explains the differences.

Spot a wrong time?

If you pray at a mosque and its listing is wrong, tell it:

1. In the app, open the mosque and tap the three-dot menu at the top right.
2. Choose Report a wrong prayer time (you will be asked to sign in).
3. Pick Which prayer?, then Adhan or Iqaamah?, and enter The correct time. Add a note if it helps, for example that the time changed after Ramadan.
4. Tap Submit report. The mosque is asked to confirm it, and nothing changes until they do.

On the website, use ⚑ Report under Something wrong with this listing? at the bottom of the mosque page and choose Wrong or misleading prayer times / mosque details. Moderators review reports, usually within 48 hours.

To be reminded before the congregation starts, see Set up prayer reminders. For the difference between the two calls in more depth, read Adhan vs Iqamah.
