Common questions

Is Masjid.ly free?

Yes — completely. No ads, no subscriptions, nothing sold in the app, and we never sell your data.

Do I need an account?

No. There's nothing to sign up for — browse, save, RSVP and follow straight away. The app gives your phone a random invite code instead of an account. Our Privacy Policy lists exactly what stays on your phone and what reaches our server.

Does it show prayer schedules?

Masjid.ly is focused on events — the feed, posters, reminders and your plan. For the daily salah schedule, use your masjid's own schedule.

Why does an event say "After Isha" instead of a time?

Because that's what the organiser printed. When a flyer gives no clock time, Masjid.ly shows their own words — After Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha — instead of guessing one. Save it and you still get a heads-up the evening before; RSVP and it comes that morning. Add to calendar saves it for the day, never at a made-up hour.

What is "Read the original post"?

The description at the top of an event is a short, cleaned-up summary. When the organiser's own Instagram caption, email or event page says more, it sits right under it — tap Read the original post to see it in their words.

Can I share an event?

Yes — every event page has a Share button. The link opens with the real flyer, the time and the place in iMessage, WhatsApp or anywhere else, and friends without the app can still see it. Every event you share carries your invite code, and each event shows how many people liked and shared it.

How do I add my masjid or org?

Tap Add a masjid or org in the You tab, or email the masjid name, city, and website or Instagram to ss4108@rutgers.edu. We'll add it to the daily pipeline, usually within a few days.

An event is wrong, missing, or outdated. Can you fix it?

Yes — email ss4108@rutgers.edu with the event name, date, and the correct details (or a link to the masjid's official post) and we'll update it.

How does the free merch (The Drop) work?

Share your invite code from the You tab — with as many people as you like. When ten verified friends have joined, pick any piece in The Drop — a hoodie or a tee — free. Following @masjid.ly on Instagram from the app (tap Follow when you set it up) counts as one of the ten. At ten, requesting your piece opens a WhatsApp chat with Shaheer (and emails him), so he can verify your friends and arrange your piece. One free piece per invite code, while this run lasts (see the terms). Nothing is sold in the app.

A friend joined but didn't count. Why?

A friend is verified once they've joined with your code and opened Masjid.ly on their phone. If they've installed the app but haven't finished setup, opening your invite link fills in the code for them; someone who already uses the app adds it under You chevron_right Enter a friend's code (opening your link doesn't add it for them). On a fresh install the App Store can drop the link, so the code is what carries the credit. When they tap Open or Download on your invite page, the page copies your code; when the app asks for a friend's code during setup, they paste it in. In app version 2.6 and later that's one tap on Paste friend's code (iOS may ask them to allow the paste — the app only reads the clipboard when they tap it). On earlier versions, they tap and hold the code box and choose Paste, or type the code. If they skipped it during setup, they can add it under You chevron_right Enter a friend's code. If the app says it can't find the code, check it for typos: it only accepts a code from a Masjid.ly app that has already been opened. Each person counts once, for the first code they enter. When a friend joins with your code, you get a notification with your new count (if notifications are on and it's outside your quiet hours).

Is Rutgers / campus covered?

Not yet. Masjid.ly covers New Jersey masjids and community orgs today. Campus Muslim-club events are planned for later, with no date yet.

How do I turn off notifications?

Open the You tab chevron_right Notifications and toggle the categories you want. You can also turn them off entirely from iOS Settings chevron_right Notifications chevron_right Masjid.ly.

How do I change my location?

Masjid.ly asks for location once so it can sort masjids by distance. Change it any time under the You tab chevron_right Location, or in iOS Settings chevron_right Privacy chevron_right Location Services chevron_right Masjid.ly.

How do I delete my data?

There's no account, so there's nothing to close. In the app, go to You chevron_right Profile & account chevron_right Delete my data: it deletes what our server holds for your phone and clears the phone in one go (for an invite code made by a version of the app from before September 30, 2026, it tells you how to email us for the part stored under that code). Get a copy of your data, in the same place, shows you what we hold first.

Already deleted the app? Email ss4108@rutgers.edu with “Delete my data” and your invite code if you have it. Invite codes are public, so we never send data or delete it on a code alone — we delete once we can see no phone is using that code any more. Step by step: Delete your data.

How do I report a bug?

Email ss4108@rutgers.edu and include:

Your iPhone model and iOS version
What you were doing when it happened
A screenshot if you have one

How are events chosen?

Masjid.ly aggregates events from each masjid's public website, calendar, newsletter, and official Instagram posts, with the real poster attached. Anything you see in the app is something the masjid has already announced publicly. An AI reviewer then reads every new or changed event against its own flyer (or the organiser's page when there's no flyer): the flyer settles the name, date, time, speaker and place, and when it prints no time we show the organiser's wording instead of guessing one. If you're a masjid admin and want control over your listings, email us and we'll set you up.

About Masjid.ly

Masjid.ly started because finding a weekend halaqa shouldn't require scrolling through eleven different Instagram accounts. It's a small, community-built project trying to make it easy for NJ Muslims to show up for each other. If that sounds useful to you, email us — we'd love to hear what you want to see next.
