Iqama times

The iqama is when the prayer starts at the masjid. Each prayer can follow ISCJ, a time you choose, or a number of minutes after the adhan.

Settings › Iqama times

Settings, Iqama times tab: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha each with a drop-down set to ISCJ time, and a Use ISCJ times for all button.
Settings › Iqama times. (tap to see the whole screen)
  1. Choose for each prayer from its drop-down:
    • ISCJ time: the masjid’s own iqama time, read from its timetable through the day.
    • Fixed time: the same time every day, such as 8:00 PM for Isha. Type it in the box that appears.
    • Minutes after adhan: for example 10, so the iqama moves with the adhan as the seasons change. Any number from 0 to 180.
  2. Use ISCJ times for all puts every prayer back to the masjid’s times.

Example

Your masjid prays Isha 10 minutes after the adhan, and Fajr at 6:00 AM all winter:

  1. Next to Isha, choose Minutes after adhan and type 10.
  2. Next to Fajr, choose Fixed time and type 6:00 AM.
  3. Open the Today screen. The new times show under Isha and Fajr straight away.

Good to know

  • Away from ISCJ, the first choice reads Not set instead of ISCJ time, and the button reads Clear all.
  • On Fridays, the Dhuhr column shows the Jumu’ah khutbah times instead of an iqama time.
  • Your choices stay on this tablet.
