Find & follow masjids
Search the masjid directory, find the masjids nearest to you and follow up to three.
What it does
- The Masjids tab lists every masjid that has joined the MARHABA directory. You can search by masjid name or place.
- Near me sorts the list by distance from where you are and shows the distance in km.
- A yellow star marks the masjids you follow.
- You can follow up to 3 masjids. Unfollow one before you follow a fourth.
- The first masjid you follow becomes My masjid: it is the one shown on Home and on the Give button there. Open another followed masjid and tap Make this my masjid to change it.
Find the masjids nearest to you
- Open the Masjids tab.
- Tap Near me.
- If your phone asks, allow location. The list now shows the nearest masjids first with their distance.
- Tap Near me again to go back to the normal order.
- If you see Allow location to see the nearest masjids, location is blocked for the app. Allow it in your browser or phone settings, or just type the place name in the search box.
Follow a masjid
- Open the Masjids tab and search for the masjid by name or place.
- Tap it to open its page.
- Tap Follow next to the logo. The button changes to Following with a yellow star.
- The masjid now appears under Me → Masjids I follow, and its news, events and calendar reach you.
- If you already follow 3 masjids you will see: You can follow up to 3 masjids. Unfollow one first.
Unfollow a masjid
- Open Me and tap the masjid under Masjids I follow (or find it in the Masjids tab).
- On the masjid page, tap Following.
- The button goes back to Follow. You stop getting that masjid's notifications for followers.
Change which masjid is My masjid
- Open the masjid you want: tap Masjids, or Me → Masjids I follow, and tap it.
- Under its name and Following button, tap Make this my masjid.
- The page now says My masjid: shown first on Home, and Home opens with that masjid.
- The first masjid you follow becomes My masjid on its own. If you unfollow My masjid, the masjid you followed first among the others takes its place.
Questions
Why can't I find my masjid?
Only masjids that use Wisdom Masjid and have chosen to be listed in the MARHABA directory appear. Ask your masjid committee to join or to turn on the listing.
Why only three masjids?
MARHABA is built around your own masjid and a couple of others you visit, such as one near work. The limit keeps notifications useful.
Does the masjid know I followed it?
It sees how many followers a notification will reach, not a list of who they are.
