Prayer times on your mosque's TV.

Set it up from your phone in two minutes. Open a web page on the TV, scan the code, choose your city, and the times appear. No app, no account, no special box.

No more swapping the timetable by hand

A wall clock and a printed monthly timetable beside the mihrab of a small mosque
Today in many mosques

In many mosques the times live on a printed sheet by the mihrab and a clock on the wall, and someone has to change the sheet every month. NextNamaz loads the new times each night, so the screen is right every morning without anyone touching it.

See how it works

Set up in three steps

If you can scan a QR code, you can do this. It takes about two minutes.

Open the page on the TV

In the TV's web browser, go to nextnamaz.com/s and press Start. The TV makes a new screen for itself and shows a QR code.

Smart TV, streaming stick, laptop or Raspberry Pi

Try the display yourself

These are the choices you get in the settings on your phone. Change the language, the look or the line at the bottom, and the screen follows, just as your TV will.

Screen settings

Language

During prayer

Theme

Mode

Colours

Prayer names and labels change with the language, and the times stay the same. Every screen keeps its own settings.

Landscape or portrait

Hang the TV the way the wall allows. On its side by the entrance or in a narrow corridor, the display rearranges itself to fit.

Made for how a mosque runs

Everything is set from a phone. Nothing is installed on the TV.

Times from the source you use

Vaktija.ba for Bosnia, Vaktija.eu for cities in 17 European countries, Islamiska Förbundet for Sweden, AlAdhan worldwide, or a calculation for your location. New times load every day.

Change it from your phone

Set up the main hall and the women's section separately. Each screen has its own link: open it on your phone, change anything, and that TV updates within seconds.

A dark screen for prayer

Let the screen go black with only a clock for 5 to 45 minutes from each prayer's start time, so nothing on the wall catches the eye.

Announcements between times

Upload up to 12 posters or short videos. As often as you choose, from every minute to once an hour, the TV shows them full screen or beside the times, then goes back. Videos play without sound.

  • If the internet drops

    The clock, countdown and today's times keep running. Changes and tomorrow's times arrive when it reconnects. After a power cut, it needs internet to start.

  • Fits the TV you have

    Landscape or portrait, rotated for a TV mounted on its side, and zoomed out for sets that cut off the edges of the picture.

  • Nine languages, your own words

    English, Arabic, Bosnian, Swedish, Turkish, Urdu, German, French and Spanish, with Arabic and Urdu right to left. Rename the prayers and headings to match how your community says them.

  • A code to reach the settings, and a PIN

    From 10 to 25 minutes after each prayer, a small code shows in a corner so someone in the room can open the settings. You can switch it off, and an optional PIN limits who can change anything.

  • Free, for good

    No price, no plan, no ads and nothing to renew. Set up as many screens as your mosque has walls.

  • Open source

    Every line of code is public on GitHub under the AGPL. Read how it works, suggest a change, or run your own copy.

Runs on what you already have

Anything with an up-to-date web browser and an internet connection can be the display. If your TV has no browser, or its browser is out of date, plug in a small stick or an old laptop.

  • A smart TV with a web browser
  • A Fire TV Stick or another streaming stick with a browser
  • A Raspberry Pi or mini PC on the TV's HDMI port
  • An old laptop plugged into the TV
  • A tablet on a stand, in portrait or landscape

Questions mosques ask

What does it cost, and do we need an account?

Nothing, and no. There is no subscription, no sign-up, no email and no password. Each screen gets its own private link when you set it up, and that link is how you reach its settings.

What do we need to buy?

Often nothing. You need a TV or monitor with a web browser and an internet connection. A recent smart TV's own browser usually works. If the page stays blank or looks broken, that browser is too old: plug in a streaming stick with a browser, a Raspberry Pi or an old laptop. There is no special box.

What happens if the internet goes down, or the power?

If the internet drops, the clock, countdown and today's times keep running, and your changes arrive once it is back. After a power cut the page needs internet to load again. The TV remembers its screen, so opening nextnamaz.com/s brings your display straight back.

Where do the times come from, and are they right?

From the source you pick: Vaktija.ba, Vaktija.eu, Islamiska Förbundet, AlAdhan, or a calculation with the method and Asr timing you choose. Setup suggests the best fit for your city and shows today's times first, so you can check them against your usual timetable.

Can we change things later?

Whenever you like. Open the settings link on any phone or computer, change the source, language, look or announcements, and save. The TV updates within seconds. If you lose the link, move the mouse or press a key on the TV to bring its code back.

Who can change our screen?

Anyone who has its link, or who scans its code on the TV. Treat the link like a key and share it only with people you trust. For more control, add a PIN of 4 to 8 digits. A forgotten PIN cannot be reset, so write it down.

We have more than one room. Can each have a screen?

Yes. Set up each TV on its own and each gets its own link, times, language and look. The main hall can show Turkish and the women's section English, each with its own announcements.

Which languages can the screen show?

Nine: English, Arabic, Bosnian, Swedish, Turkish, Urdu, German, French and Spanish. Arabic and Urdu read right to left. You can rename every prayer and heading on the display. The settings page on your phone, the setup screens on the TV and the small 'Scan to manage' caption are in English.

Can it show iqamah, Jumu'ah or the Hijri date?

Not yet. The screen shows when each prayer begins, plus sunrise, taken from the source you choose. Iqamah times, a Jumu'ah time, the Hijri date and typing in your own times are not available at the moment. The clock is 24-hour and the date reads day/month/year.

What data do you keep?

Each screen stores its settings, its city or coordinates, a scrambled copy of its PIN if you set one, and any images or videos you upload. Uploaded files can be opened by anyone who has their web address, so don't upload anything private. City search and 'Use my location' ask Open-Meteo and BigDataCloud to look up the place. Page visits are counted anonymously with Vercel Web Analytics. There are no accounts, so no names, emails or passwords.

Free forever, and open source

NextNamaz is free to use, with no ads. The full code is on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 licence, so any mosque, developer or community can read how it works, suggest changes, or run its own copy.
