Frequently asked questions

Minar360 is a community platform connecting mosques, nonprofits, Muslim-owned businesses, halal restaurants, and community members in one place, so events, prayer times, announcements, and donations don't live in a dozen scattered apps and group chats.

We're onboarding founding organizations city by city rather than launching everywhere at once. Join the founding partner list on the homepage and we'll notify you as soon as your area opens up.

The mobile app is currently in development. In the meantime, the website gives you a preview of how event discovery, prayer times, and organization profiles will work.

General event platforms handle a single ticket link well, but weren't built around a faith community. Minar360 combines event discovery with mosque directories, prayer times, and halal business listings, all in one feed, instead of scattered across separate tools.

Yes. Browsing events, mosque directories, prayer times, and business listings is completely free for community members.

Use the search bar on the homepage to look up events, mosques, or halal spots by name or location. As more organizations join, your local feed will fill in automatically based on where you are.

Yes. The app will support prayer time and athan notifications. You can preview how the athan alert works in the demo widget on the homepage.

Once an organization is onboarded, their profile includes a way to follow or join their group directly, so their events and announcements show up in your feed automatically.

Creating a profile and publishing events, prayer times, and announcements is free. Optional paid tools are available for organizations that want more advanced features.

Yes, donation collection is one of the core organization tools. Donations go directly to your organization through a secure payment processor. Minar360 never holds or takes custody of the funds.

Yes. Organizations can create ticketed or free events, with RSVPs and attendance tracked in one place.

Once your organization profile is set up, prayer times and announcements are published from your dashboard and appear automatically on your public profile and in your followers' feeds.

Yes, organizations will be able to add multiple team members with their own logins to manage events, donations, and announcements together.

Yes. Muslim-owned businesses and halal restaurants have their own profile type built for discovery, separate from event listings.

We're still finalizing our verification process as we onboard founding businesses. Details will be shared directly with businesses as they join.

Founding businesses are being onboarded with special early terms. Reach out through the homepage to learn about current pricing.

The times shown in the current homepage demo are sample placeholders for preview purposes. In the live app, prayer times will be calculated based on your actual location.

Yes. You'll be able to enable athan alerts for each prayer time. You can try a preview of this in the demo widget on the homepage.

We plan to support multiple standard calculation methods (such as ISNA and the Muslim World League) so organizations and individuals can choose the convention their community follows.

Donations and payments are handled through established, secure payment providers. Funds go directly to the receiving organization. Minar360 does not hold or take custody of donated funds at any point.

Standard payment processing fees apply, similar to any donation or ticketing platform. Specific rates will be shared clearly with organizations before they go live.

That depends entirely on the tax-exempt status of the organization you're donating to, not on Minar360 itself. Check with the receiving organization or a tax professional to confirm their status before assuming a donation is deductible.

No. Personal data is not sold to third parties.

Payment details are handled directly by the payment processor, following industry-standard encryption and security practices, rather than being stored on Minar360's own servers.

Yes, notification preferences, including prayer alerts, event reminders, and organization updates, will be adjustable from your account settings.
