TV Prayer Display — Install Checklist for Masjid Admins
This checklist helps your team put the MyAlMasjid prayer board on the masjid TV. After setup, the screen shows today’s Adhan and Iqama times and a countdown to the next prayer. When the Imam updates times in the phone app, the TV refreshes automatically.
