Namazee

Volunteer

Namazee’s jamat times come from the masjids themselves. Around 50 area volunteers are the reason that is true, and the reason a time can be corrected at all.

What an area volunteer does

A volunteer looks after the masjids in one area — usually the ones they already pray at. They notice when a jamat time moves, check it at the masjid rather than assuming, and pass the change on. It is ordinary, local, repetitive work, and it is the only reason this data is worth anything.

How a change reaches the app

  1. Someone notices that a jamat time has moved, at a masjid they attend.
  2. They verify it on the ground — at the masjid, not from memory.
  3. They pass it to the team, who make the change.
  4. The change is recorded with its date, and the app shows that date beside the time.

Why the date matters more than the time

Any app can show a jamat time. What is hard is knowing whether it is still true. That is why a masjid in Namazee carries the date its times were last confirmed, where we have one, and why a time that has not been confirmed in a while is marked rather than quietly presented as current.

It also means the app is honest about its own gaps. A masjid nobody has checked recently looks exactly like what it is, instead of looking current.

Joining is not open yet

A direct way for volunteers to send changes is being built. Until it exists there is no sign-up here, because collecting names we cannot yet act on would waste the time of the people most willing to help.
