Display
Display tab is an important tab, the display of prayer times on mobile, web, embded tables, LED/LCD screen are controlled from here. So take few min to properly set this up and validate the desired settings on your Ad-Din mobile & Web.

Note: There is a small bug we are currently fixing, on this screen. If you have signed up for a new masjid the prayer time table on mobile and web portal will not reflect till you simply uncheck any prayer time table one of the check box, save it and than tick it back again and save again. 

Upload Logo is the first section of Display settings page. We recommend the logo be square and 300x300pixel and 100dpi.


Secondly upload the Masjid image 137h x 920w pixel. 100 dpi preferred. A good image from a good mobile camera would do as well.

Thirdly we have the Small Display, Medium Display, Large Display and Mobile Display settings which are pretty much self explanatory, each display has its own URL and embed code, you can use the embed code to embed these tables in your website. Or other places on the web.

The Dedicated URL can be used to display these prayer tables on LED/LCD screen if your masjid has one. And the checks control what times and columns shows up on these displays. The Hijri date checkbox will hide the Hijri date, so do the Eid, Tarawih, Time and URL will do. Edi, Tarawih and Hijri date will come from the respected tabs on the display settings page.



The large display has two extra controls which shows the linked Madrasah events on Large LED/LCD screen if you have any in your masjid/madrasah. If there are multiple events in the Masjid/Madrasah you can set the scrolling speed i.e. 7 seconds.

Ensure to save your settings. Move on to setting up Adhan Times now.

Adhan Time


Adhan times will be automatically calculated using minutes' value given above. The number above represents how many minutes before the Iqamah time, the Adhan will be called. Maghrib Adhan will be used to determine the amount of minute to wait after sunset before calling the Maghrib Adhan. Maghrib Iqamah Offset is minutes after Maghrib Adhan, the Iqamah occurs.

Other Prayers

Simply check Eid 3-4 Days prior and enter the time when the Eid prayer will be performed, it will begin to appear on the prayer time table on the app.

Similarly check the Tarawih 2-3 days prior to Ramadan begins and enter the time when the Tarawih will begin daily during Ramadan. If time changes, feel free to update at least a day prior. It will begin to appear on the prayer time table on the app.

Batch update
In most cases you will use this to update your Masjid Prayer times. And it's the most recommended method to avoid any human errors.



You can select the start and end date and click on play button to see what are the current times in database for your masjid. To update click on + Batch Update


Batch update allows to update the Iqamah times between the date. And as you already know the Adhan time is calculated from Iqamah times i.e. if Iqmaha is at 1:30 pm and Adhan offset is 15 min, Adhan time will be 1:15 pm. So when doing the batch update keep this in mind.

If you have the full yearly set calendar you can do this once and set back and relax let Ad-Din solution work for you.

Manual Update
We recommend to use the Batch update method described above its very simple and easy and achieves the same goal as manual.

Manual update will allow you to change time and salah begin time for individual day including rest of the times. Simply select the month, update Iqamah and begin times as required and save your changes.

Note: You can not change the Begin times if on settings page you have "Automatic Begin times set to > Yes"


Using the other method is easy but we do have import/export operation using a csv file at your disposal, which is more complex and requires some expertise. If you ever plan to utilize that we recommend you add few data manually than export so you get some sample data to work with.

Islamic Date Date
The Islamic Date page will allow you to adjust the Islamic date. The Islamic (Umm Al-Qura / Hijri) calendar varies by 1 or 2 days from country to country.
In order to obtain the exact same Islamic date as in your current location, please refer to this article to select the relevant calendar "Umm Al-Qura or Hijri (Date offset only available in the "Hijri Calendar"
