Description
Smart Masjid Prayer Timings lets masjid administrators display accurate, up-to-date prayer and Jumuah timings on their WordPress site. Timings are fetched from the Smart Masjid API using your masjid’s API key.
No more manual website updates. Most prayer-time plugins require an admin to log in and re-enter every time there is an Iqama or Jumuah update. With Smart Masjid, an admin updates times once in the Smart Masjid mobile app, and the website widget picks up the change automatically through your masjid’s API key — no re-editing, no separate WordPress login needed just to fix a time.
Features:
- Automatic syncing — update Iqama times from the Smart Masjid mobile app and they appear on your site without touching WordPress
- Five daily salah times (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) with Adhan and Iqama times
- Jumuah timings (supports up to three Jumuah sessions)
- Sunrise and Shurooq times
- Hijri date display (uses PHP’s intl extension — no external API needed)
- Three widget styles to choose from (two table styles and a card style)
- Customizable card colors, including separate colors for the active/current prayer card (background, icon, font)
- Translation-ready

FAQ
-
Where do I get an API key?
-
Register your masjid at smartmasjid.app/register to receive an API key.
-
Can I change the widget style?
-
Yes. Go to Smart Masjid > Advanced in the admin panel to choose from three styles and customize colours.
-
Does this plugin require any PHP extensions?
-
The PHP
intlextension is recommended for Hijri (Islamic calendar) date display. It is included with most PHP installations and enabled by default on nearly all WordPress hosting providers. If unavailable, prayer times will still display but the Hijri date will be blank. -
How often are prayer times refreshed?
-
The plugin caches API responses until midnight (based on your WordPress timezone setting). You can manually clear the cache from the settings page.
-
Do I need to update the website every time an Iqama time changes?
-
No. Update the time once in the Smart Masjid mobile app and it flows through the API automatically — no need to log in to WordPress. The site picks up the change on its next daily refresh, or immediately if you clear the cache from the settings page.
