Terms of use

The KSIJ Mumbai app and website are provided free of charge by the Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat, Mumbai (legal name: Khoja Shia Isnaashari Jamaat; “the Jamaat”) for the community. By using them you agree to these terms. Please also read our privacy policy.

We work hard to keep the app accurate, but we cannot guarantee that everything in it is correct, complete or up to date. In particular:

• Prayer times may be calculated and can differ from your local masjid. Follow your masjid’s announced times.
• Grave records are transcribed from grave boards and old registers and may contain mistakes.
• Janaza details (times and places) can change at short notice. Confirm with the family or the Jamaat office.

If you spot a mistake, please use Report a problem in the app. The app is provided “as is”, and the Jamaat is not responsible for loss caused by relying on it.

Bookings, feedback, Kabristan reports and Mosque Finder suggestions must be true and sent in good faith. Please:

• only send information you have the right to share, and photos you took or may use;
• not send anything offensive, abusive, misleading or unlawful;
• not include other people’s phone numbers or private details unless they agreed;
• not try to misuse, overload or break the app.

Nothing you send is published until the Jamaat has checked it. The Jamaat may edit, decline or remove any submission. A venue booking request is not a confirmed booking until the office confirms it.

Some parts of the app open other websites and apps, such as ya-mahdi.net (Divine Pearls) for duas and ziyarat, and Instagram for Community News. They are run by others; their own terms and privacy policies apply, and the Jamaat is not responsible for their content.

• Qur’an: Arabic text from Tanzil (Uthmani script); English meaning by Ali Quli Qarai.
• Duas & Ziyarat: from Divine Pearls (ya-mahdi.net), linked and shared with the permission of its founder.
• Nahjul Balagha (Daily Saying): English translation as published by Al-Islam.org (Nahjul Balagha, Part 2: Letters and Sayings).
• Prayer time calculations from the AlAdhan service; maps © OpenStreetMap contributors.

The Jamaat’s own names, logos and content belong to the Jamaat. Please do not reuse them commercially without permission.

Donations made through the app and website are received by the Jamaat. You can give:

• Sadaqah — voluntary charity, used by the Jamaat for its community and welfare work.
• Khums — your religious dues, received by the Jamaat.
• Kabristan Sadqah — Sadqah given in the name of a marhoom or marhooma from Digital Kabristan.

A donation is a gift: nothing is sold, and no goods or services are given in return. You pay in your own UPI app (on iPhone, through Safari); the app never sees or stores your payment details. All amounts are in Indian Rupees.

Online UPI, card and net-banking payments (processed by Cashfree Payments, India) are not active yet.

Please check the amount and what it is for before you pay. Donations are voluntary and normally cannot be returned — see our refund policy for mistaken or duplicate payments.

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version.

Please contact the Jamaat office. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Mumbai have jurisdiction.
