Masjid Terms of Use

1. Who This Applies To

These Masjid Terms of Use ("Masjid Terms") apply to any masjid, Islamic centre, prayer hall, or religious organisation ("Masjid") that is registered on the MyAlMasjid platform, and to the person(s) who administer that account ("Masjid Administrator" or "Admin").

By having your masjid onboarded to MyAlMasjid — whether through our in-app onboarding wizard or with the assistance of the MyAlMasjid team — the Masjid and its Administrator(s) agree to be bound by these Masjid Terms, in addition to our general Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer.

2. Acceptance of These Terms

Acceptance is recorded at onboarding time when an authorised representative of the Masjid — or the MyAlMasjid representative acting on their verbal/written instruction — confirms agreement in the in-app onboarding flow. A timestamped consent record (including the name of the authorising committee member, the date, and the terms version) is stored in our system as the formal record of acceptance.

Continued use of the MyAlMasjid platform by any Masjid Administrator or staff member constitutes ongoing acceptance of these Masjid Terms, as updated from time to time.

3. Authority to Register a Masjid

By registering a masjid on MyAlMasjid (or authorising someone to do so on your behalf), you confirm that:

• You are an authorised representative of the masjid — such as a committee member, mutawalli, secretary, or imam;
• You have the approval of the managing committee (or equivalent governing body) to register the masjid on a digital platform;
• The masjid name, address, contact details, and other information provided are accurate and truthful;
• You will promptly update the information if it changes.

MyAlMasjid reserves the right to verify registrations and to remove or deactivate any masjid account that is registered without proper authority, contains false information, or is otherwise in breach of these terms.

4. Masjid Administrator Obligations

As a Masjid Administrator, you agree to:

• Assign roles carefully. Only assign the Imam, Muezzin, and Admin roles to individuals who genuinely hold those positions at your masjid and who have agreed to the platform's Terms of Use.
• Keep credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity performed under your masjid account. Do not share admin credentials with unauthorised persons.
• Post accurate prayer times. Ensure that prayer times entered into the system reflect the actual times observed at your masjid. Incorrect times affect the worship of your community members.
• Use announcements appropriately. Only post announcements that are truthful, relevant to your masjid community, and consistent with Islamic values and applicable law.
• Comply with applicable law. Ensure all activities conducted through the platform comply with the laws of your country and locality, including data protection laws.
• Notify us of disputes. If there is a dispute about who holds authority over the masjid account (e.g., due to a committee change), notify us promptly at contact@myalmasjid.com.

5. Data Controller Responsibility

When members of your masjid join the platform and provide personal data (such as their name, phone number, gender, and date of birth) to participate in your masjid community, the Masjid acts as the Data Controller for that community-specific data, and MyAlMasjid acts as the Data Processor on your behalf.

This means:

• You are responsible for ensuring that your members are informed about how their data is used within the app. Our Privacy Policy is the primary disclosure document, but you should make it accessible to your members.
• You must not use member data accessed through the platform for any purpose other than administering your masjid community within the app.
• You must not export, sell, share, or otherwise transfer member personal data to third parties without the member's explicit consent.
• When a member requests deletion of their data, MyAlMasjid handles the technical deletion. You agree not to retain separate copies of member data extracted from the platform.
• If you become aware of any unauthorised access to member data, you must notify MyAlMasjid immediately at privacy@myalmasjid.com.

For clarity, MyAlMasjid is the Data Controller for platform-wide data it collects independently (e.g., crash logs, device tokens, app usage analytics) — as set out in the Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use of Platform Features

You agree that the Masjid account and all associated roles (Admin, Imam, Muezzin) will be used only for their intended, lawful purposes. You must not:

• Post, share, broadcast, or promote content that constitutes terrorism, violent extremism, radicalisation, or incitement to violence — including content that glorifies terrorist organisations, attacks, or extremist ideology;
• Post or distribute hate speech — content that demeans, threatens, or incites violence or discrimination against any individual or group on the basis of religion, ethnicity, nationality, caste, gender, or any other characteristic;
• Recruit or attempt to recruit platform users for any terrorist, extremist, or unlawful organisation or movement;
• Use the platform to spread misinformation, propaganda, or content contrary to Islamic values;
• Impersonate another masjid, religious authority, or organisation;
• Use the Live Azan feature for non-masjid purposes or to broadcast harmful content;
• Attempt to access or interfere with other masjids' data on the platform;
• Use automated scripts, bots, or tools to interact with the platform;
• Circumvent any security, access control, or rate-limiting measures we have in place.

7. Content Accuracy & Responsibility

MyAlMasjid provides a platform — we do not independently verify the accuracy of prayer times, announcements, event details, or other content posted by Masjid Administrators.

The Masjid and its Administrators are solely responsible for the accuracy of all content they post. MyAlMasjid is not liable for any harm arising from inaccurate prayer times, misleading announcements, or any other content published by a Masjid Administrator. Please refer to our Disclaimer for the full scope of our content disclaimers.

8. Platform Availability & Changes

MyAlMasjid is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the platform. We may:

• Carry out maintenance that temporarily affects availability (we aim to provide advance notice);
• Modify, add, or remove platform features at any time;
• Update these Masjid Terms from time to time (see section 14 below).

9. Deactivation of Masjid Accounts

MyAlMasjid reserves the right to deactivate or permanently remove a Masjid account, at its sole discretion, where:

• The Masjid account violates any provision of these Masjid Terms or the general Terms of Use;
• False or misleading information was provided at onboarding or thereafter;
• The account has been inactive for an extended period with no member community using it;
• A valid dispute arises about the authority to operate the account.

When a Masjid is deactivated, all staff members (Admin, Imam, Muezzin) are automatically disassociated from the account. Regular members must re-join if the account is reactivated. Member personal data is retained for 30 days following deactivation before being permanently erased, unless a reactivation request is submitted.

If you believe your masjid account has been incorrectly deactivated, contact us at contact@myalmasjid.com.

10. Pricing & Subscription

MyAlMasjid is currently provided to masjids at no charge under the Free Plan. A Premium Plan with additional features may be introduced in the future.

If a paid plan is introduced, we will provide existing masjids with a minimum of 60 days' written notice before any charge is applied. You will always have the option to remain on a free tier (which may have limited features) or to remove your masjid from the platform before any charge takes effect.

We will never charge retroactively. Features available during the free onboarding period will not be subject to retrospective charges.

11. Intellectual Property

The MyAlMasjid app, platform, name, logo, and all associated software and design remain the exclusive intellectual property of MyAlMasjid.

Content you post to the platform (prayer times, announcements, masjid details) remains your content. By posting it, you grant MyAlMasjid a limited, non-exclusive licence to display it to your masjid community members within the app. We do not sell or share your masjid content externally.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MyAlMasjid is not liable for:

• Any harm arising from inaccurate prayer times or other content posted by your Masjid account;
• Technical failures, interruptions, or data loss arising from causes outside our reasonable control;
• Actions taken by members of your masjid community based on content published through your account;
• Any committee disputes or governance issues internal to your masjid.

Our total liability to any Masjid account, for any claim arising under these Masjid Terms, shall not exceed the amount paid by that Masjid for the platform in the 12 months preceding the claim (which, for free-plan masjids, is zero).

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Masjid Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved by good-faith correspondence. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.

14. Ask Imam Feature — Masjid Obligations

The Ask Imam feature allows members of your masjid community to submit questions to the assigned Imam through the app. As the Masjid Admin, you are responsible for ensuring this feature is used appropriately within your community.

• Enable with care. The Admin has the ability to enable or disable the Ask Imam feature for their masjid. Only enable it if your Imam has agreed to participate and has capacity to respond.
• Imam's responsibility for responses. The Imam assigned to this role is responsible for the content of all responses. Responses should be grounded in authentic Islamic scholarship. The Imam must not provide medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice through this feature.
• Moderation obligation. If you become aware that inappropriate questions or responses have been posted, you must take prompt action — deleting content or disabling the feature — and notify MyAlMasjid if the content may be harmful.
• Data privacy. Questions and responses may be visible to members of your community. Ensure your members are aware of this visibility as part of your community data practices.
• No guarantee of fatwa. Imam responses through this feature are community guidance only, not binding religious rulings. Do not represent them as such to your members.

MyAlMasjid reserves the right to disable the Ask Imam feature for any masjid account found to be misusing it, without prior notice.

15. Sadqa / Donations Feature — Masjid Obligations (India Only)

The Sadqa feature enables your masjid to receive voluntary micro-donations from members through the app. This feature is available to masjids registered in India only. By enabling this feature, your masjid agrees to the following:

• Provide accurate payment details. You must register a valid bank account or payment recipient ID with the payment gateway before enabling this feature. MyAlMasjid is not responsible for misdirected payments arising from incorrect payment details provided by the masjid.
• Use funds for their stated purpose. Funds received through the Sadqa feature must be used for legitimate Islamic charitable or masjid operational purposes — not for personal benefit, commercial activity, or non-disclosed causes.
• Comply with Indian financial regulations. The Masjid is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws, including the Income Tax Act 1961, FCRA (if applicable), and any RBI guidelines governing receipt of donations. MyAlMasjid does not provide legal or financial compliance advice.
• Transparency with donors. You should inform your community about how donated funds will be used. MyAlMasjid may request evidence of fund utilisation at any time as part of platform integrity checks.
• No misrepresentation. You must not represent sadqa collected through the app as carrying 80G tax exemption or any other statutory benefit unless you hold the relevant government certification and have disclosed this to MyAlMasjid.
• Withdrawal of feature. MyAlMasjid reserves the right to suspend or permanently disable the Sadqa feature for any masjid, without prior notice, if misuse or financial irregularities are suspected.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Masjid Terms from time to time, including when new platform features are released. The version number and effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. The table below summarises anticipated upcoming changes:

Material changes will be communicated to active Masjid Administrators via an in-app notification or email (where available) at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Masjid Terms.
