For masjids

Prayer Times TV Screen

A free, full-screen prayer-times display for your masjid's prayer hall — a live clock, today's salah and Jamā'ah times, the Hijri date, and a countdown to the next Jamā'ah. It runs on almost any screen by opening a single web link. There is no app to install.

How to set it up

  1. 1

    Open the web browser on your TV or device

    On a Smart TV, use the built-in browser. On a Fire TV Stick, install a browser app first (e.g. Amazon Silk or Firefox). On a mini-PC or laptop, use Chrome or Edge.

  2. 2

    Go to your masjid's screen link

    Type your masjid's link, e.g. masjidtomasjid.org/display/your-masjid. To try it first, use the live demo link above.

  3. 3

    Make it full-screen (no browser bars)

    Tap the gold “⛶ Full screen” button in the bottom-right of the screen. With a TV remote, that button is already selected when the screen opens — just press OK. With a keyboard, press F11. Only the prayer timetable then fills the whole TV.

  4. 4

    Leave it running

    That's it. The screen stays on, updates every second, and recalculates the prayer times every day on its own — no maintenance needed.

📺 Showing only the timetable (full screen)

On a wall TV you want only the prayer timetable — no address bar, no menus, no taskbar. Pick whichever matches your setup:

🔘 The on-screen “Full screen” button (works with a TV remote)

The screen has a gold “⛶ Full screen” button in the bottom-right corner. Most masjids have no keyboard — only a TV remote — so the button is already selected when the screen opens: just press OK / Enter on the remote and it fills the whole TV. On a touch TV, simply tap it. Once full-screen, the button shrinks into a tiny dot; press OK (or tap) again to exit.

⌨️ With a keyboard

Press F11 to toggle full screen in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox.

💻 Mini-PC or laptop (Windows) — automatic kiosk

For a screen that opens full-screen by itself every time it powers on, launch the browser in kiosk mode. Create a shortcut to Chrome with this target (replace the link with your masjid's):

chrome.exe --kiosk https://masjidtomasjid.org/display/your-masjid/

Put that shortcut in the Windows Startup folder and the prayer screen launches full-screen automatically after every reboot. (Press Alt + F4 to close it.)

🔌 Fire TV Stick / Android TV — kiosk browser app

Install the free “Fully Kiosk Browser”app, set the start URL to your masjid's screen link, and turn on full-screen. It re-opens your screen automatically, even after a power cut — ideal for an always-on wall display.

Need help setting this up? Email masjidtomasjid@gmail.comand we'll send you a ready-made shortcut for your masjid.

Managing your screen (dashboard)

Every registered masjid gets a private dashboard to manage its own screen — no developer needed. Sign in at masjidtomasjid.org/admin/login.

Forgot your password? Email masjidtomasjid@gmail.comand we'll issue a new temporary one.

Your masjid's own screen link

Every registered masjid gets its own screen at:

masjidtomasjid.org/display/your-masjid

This is the link you open on your wall TV — it shows yourmasjid's times, not the demo. Don't have one yet?

🔒 Locking the screen

Because the screen hangs on the wall where children and passers-by may touch it, the management can lock it with a password. Look for the small padlock button in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Setting the password:each masjid chooses its own lock password. Tell us the password you'd like and we'll set it — and in the upcoming admin dashboard, each masjid will set and change its own.

Note: this blocks touches on the screen page itself, which solves accidental touching. For a fully tamper-proof display (so no one can close the browser or exit), also run the device in its own kiosk mode (a setting on Fire Stick / Android TV boxes).

Made for every masjid & maslak

Each masjid's screen is set to its own school of thought — Sunni or Shia — so the times and the Islamic date are always correct for your community.

Hanafi (Sunni)

Asr begins by the later (Hanafi) method — when an object's shadow is twice its length.

Shafiʿi · Maliki · Hanbali (Sunni)

Asr begins by the standard method — when an object's shadow equals its length.

Shia Jaʿfari (Twelver)

Angle-based Maghrib (a little after sunset), Jaʿfari midnight, and Jaʿfari Fajr/Isha angles.

Custom

Fine-tune Fajr/Isha angles and add per-prayer minute corrections to match your imam's timetable exactly.

Your calculation method (ISNA, Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Karachi, Tehran, and more) is also set per masjid — so you match your own community.

The Islamic date & moon sighting

Islamic months begin with the sighting of the new moon, so the date can differ from one community to another — some follow local moon sighting, some follow Saudi Arabia (Umm al-Qura), and some follow a calculation. Your screen supports both, chosen per masjid:

🌙 Moon-sighting mode (recommended)

The screen follows your masjid's moon-sighting authority — for example the Shariah Board of America, or your local hilāl committee. When a new month is announced, the date is set to match, and it rolls to the next Islamic day each evening at Maghrib.

📐 Calculation mode

The screen calculates the date astronomically (Umm al-Qura — the same as Saudi Arabia). No monthly updates are needed, but it may differ by a day or two from a local sighting.

Masjid Al-Falah follows the Shariah Board of America. Each masjid tells us which authority it follows; when that authority announces a new month, the screen is updated to match — and in the upcoming admin dashboard, the imam sets it in one tap.
