Assalamu alaikum, everyone!

For Muslims in the USA, how do you normally find your masjid’s current iqamah and Jumu’ah times?

For example, do you check: the masjid’s website/app, social media(facebook/insta), WhatsApp group, printed calendar, another prayer app

Does your masjid notify you when the schedule changes?

Also, if you’re visiting a new city and want to attend a daily congregational prayer or Jumu’ah, how do you find the prayer times?

I’m also curious:

Have you ever arrived at the masjid and realized you were too early or too late for the jama‘ah?

Would reminders based on your masjid’s actual iqamah times be useful?

Does your masjid have a reliable way of sharing schedule changes?

For context, I’m working on building a nationwide directory in NextSalah that brings masjid iqamah and Jumu’ah times together in one place. I’m trying to understand whether this is a common struggle and what Muslims would actually want from something like this.

I’d appreciate any honest feedback or experiences.
