85,968 mosques and Eid prayer grounds across 151 cities and governorates are covered by a new electronic mosque affairs system platform and application. The system serves approximately 14,647 users across 13 ministry branches.
SPA reported that Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif Al Alsheikh launched the platform in partnership with Zain. The system aims to unify data and procedures to improve information accessibility and provide reports for oversight and decision-making.
The platform manages the full lifecycle of mosques, including construction needs, charitable contributions, registration, operation, maintenance, and asset management. A primary focus is field inspections, where male and female inspectors use the app and geographic locations to document and approve findings.
Integration with the Masajid app allows users to find mosques, view prayer times, determine Qibla direction, and submit electronic ratings. It also highlights opportunities for contributing to mosque construction, cleaning, and maintenance.
During its pilot phase, the system recorded over 3.6 million inspection visits. This total includes 2,866,570 visits by male inspectors, 594,956 visits by female inspectors, 88,164 Friday prayer visits, 32,732 extraordinary visits, 19,155 visits to Eid prayer grounds, and 335 visits to vacant plots.
