Minara

Features

Everything your mosque needs online

Built with UK mosques in mind, from Gift Aid and Zakat to Jumu'ah jama'ats and the clock changes.

Prayer times

Accurate, always.

  • Adhan and jama'ah times for all five prayers, plus sunrise
  • Optional second Asr time for mosques that show both
  • Upload a year at a time from Excel or Google Sheets. We check every row before anything changes
  • Fix a single time from your phone, or change a jama'ah time for a whole month in one go
  • Jumu'ah jama'ats with winter and summer times and the khatib's name
  • Monthly timetable page, print-ready, with a PDF for the noticeboard
  • Hijri date with a one- or two-day adjustment for local moon sighting
  • Clock changes in March and October just work
  • A reminder before your timetable runs out, so it never goes blank

Ramadan

Your busiest month, handled.

  • Suhoor, iftar and taraweeh times on the home page, day by day
  • Ramadan days marked on the timetable and the PDF
  • Expected dates filled in for you, adjusted when the moon is sighted

Donations

Every pound to your mosque.

  • Paid into your own Stripe account and on to your bank. Minara takes 0%
  • Sadaqah, Zakat, Lillah, Fitrana, building fund and appeals, switched on or off as you need
  • Zakat recorded separately on every donation
  • One-off and monthly giving, with card, Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Qurbani and other share-based giving, with a name for each share
  • Gift Aid declarations in HMRC's wording, only shown if you have an HMRC reference
  • Gift Aid claim file in HMRC's columns, so nothing is claimed twice
  • Receipts by email, an annual statement every April, and a self-service link for monthly donors
  • Your bank details, standing order form and cash giving shown too

News and community

Keep everyone informed.

  • Notices you can pin to the top, schedule, or set to expire
  • Events with dates, locations and flyers. Past events disappear by themselves
  • Janazah notices posted in under a minute, with an option to show them in the urgent banner
  • An urgent banner across every page for closures, weather or janazah
  • Contact form that emails your team and keeps a record

Your website

Looks right, works everywhere.

  • Choose Classic or Modern, in your logo and two colours
  • Home, prayer times, about, facilities, FAQ, contact, safeguarding, privacy and terms
  • Fast on any phone, easy to read, and accessible
  • Installs on phones like an app, with your logo as the icon
  • Search-friendly titles, your mosque's details marked up for Google, and a sitemap

For your committee

Built for volunteers.

  • Admin, Treasurer and Editor roles, each seeing only what they need
  • Invite people by email. They choose their own password
  • Two-step login for admins and treasurers
