Our goal is to provide the community and the mosque managers with a more rich user experience and enrich our apps with more valuable features and information. We also would like to make Mawaqit available on more devices (SmartWatch, HomeAssistants, Tablets, AndroidTV). And of course, we would like to encourage the adoption of the display with even more mosques, schools, homes, shops, hotels in even more countries and cities worldwide. Our goal is also to make the system more distributed, self-governed, modern, and automated. And allow every mosque to receive donations from their followers from anywhere in the world.
