ConnectMazjid is a masjid management system built by MSA Software LLC in McKinney, Texas. It gives mosques a single dashboard for prayer times, announcements, events, donations and leadership details, and the company says more than 800 masjids and Islamic organizations use it.
Its main promise is entering information once. A change to a prayer time or event reaches the masjid's mobile app, Masjid TV screens, website widgets and Google listing without repeated posting. The platform does not require special hardware and has a free core plan.
How does ConnectMazjid work?
An admin signs up, creates the masjid profile with logo, address, leadership and social links, and starts on CMZ Core. Prayer times are then added by hand for Athan and Iqamah, or uploaded for a full year from an Excel or CSV file, with calculation method, Hijri date and time zone settings.
To go live, the admin pairs a TV by opening the app or cmzapp.com/tv, entering a code and naming the screen. The mobile app and website widgets follow, and the Admin Portal then handles announcements, events and donations, keeping every channel in sync.
Key features of ConnectMazjid
The Admin Portal is the control center, and Masjid TV shows prayer times, announcements and events on Android TV, Fire Stick or a browser. Screens can have separate themes and portrait or landscape layouts, and the display supports 9 languages. The mobile app sends Azan and Iqamah reminders and lets members follow several masjids.
Events support paid and free multi-tier tickets with QR check-in, and donations run through Stripe as one-time or recurring gifts with campaign tracking. Web widgets embed live timings, events and announcements on an existing site, while the CMZ Web App gives each masjid a public page on cmzapp.com.
