Use Pray Now to catch a congregation near you

Pray Now answers one question: which congregation can I still catch? It works out the current prayer, looks at the mosques around you, and lists every one whose Iqaamah hasn't started yet, soonest first, with the distance and the minutes left. The website also picks out the Earliest — leave now option and the one with the Most time to get there.

On the website

1. Open Pray Now from the menu at the top of sl.abdohoo.app.
2. Tap 📍 Use my location, or pick a town from Choose an area….
3. The heading shows the prayer and how many congregations you can reach, for example Fajr · 3 catchable nearby.
4. Read the two cards:
   • Earliest — leave now: the congregation that starts first.
   • Most time to get there: the latest one still ahead, if you need longer to travel.
5. The table below lists every mosque with its Iqaamah, When (for example in 25 min) and Distance. Tap a mosque's name to open its page.

To adjust the search:

• Now (auto) picks the prayer for you. Open the menu to choose Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha instead.
• The distance menu searches 5 km, 10 km, 15 km or 25 km around you.
• Refresh updates your position; Change location clears it so you can choose again.

It works the same on a phone's browser.

In the Android app

1. Tap the Pray Now tab.
2. If asked, tap Use my location and allow location.
3. The NEXT PRAYER card shows the prayer and how many mosques have an upcoming Iqaamah.
4. Each card shows the mosque, its Iqaamah time, the distance and the minutes to go, for example in 25m. Tap a card to open the mosque.

The app looks 15 km around you. A small mark next to the time tells you where it came from; a warning triangle means the timetable is provisional, so allow a margin or check with the mosque.

How Pray Now chooses

• The prayer. Pray Now takes the first prayer of the day whose Iqaamah is still ahead at any nearby mosque. After Isha it moves to tomorrow's Fajr and says so.
• The mosques. Only mosques that have published an Iqaamah time are included, and each is checked in its own time zone. If a mosque is on a Ramadan or seasonal timetable, those times are used.
• Started already. On the website, a congregation that began a few minutes ago may still be listed as min ago, in case you can make the end.

Pray Now uses the daily prayers, so on a Friday it follows Dhuhr, not Jumuʼah. During Ramadan the website also lists Tarawih tonight at nearby mosques, with the start time and tonight's juzʼ.
