// why an open API

Data is sadaqah jariyah when others can build on it.

We've spent years gathering real masjid data — times, facilities, locations — that simply didn't exist in one place. Locking it away helps no one. An open API lets developers across the ummah build prayer widgets, community apps, smart displays and more — each one a continuing benefit for the people who use it.

// it's your whole masjid

Not just prayer times. Everything your community keeps updated.

When a masjid or a local hero updates a time, adds an event, or posts an announcement, it's in the API — and every record says where it came from and when it last changed.
