How to publish a Ramadan timetable page that people actually use

In Ramadan, your website is checked every day, often at the same two moments: before dawn and just before iftar. A page that answers “what time today?” in one glance earns a lot of goodwill. This is a simple structure that works for most masjids.

1. Put today first

At the top, show today’s date, the sehri end time and the iftar time in large type. Highlight today’s row in the full table as well. Visitors should not have to scroll or search.

2. Use a clean table, not an image

List all days in one table with these columns:

• Ramadan day number and date
• Sehri ends
• Fajr
• Iftar (Maghrib)
• Taraweeh

Use real text in the table, not a screenshot. Text works on small screens, can be found by search engines and is read properly by screen readers. See Tagged PDFs: how to make documents accessible on your WordPress site if you also offer a PDF.

3. Say how the times were calculated

Add one line naming the calculation method and the source. Different methods can differ by a few minutes, and people will ask. Add a reminder to confirm the times with your local religious authority or imam. This is especially important in the first and last days of the month.

4. Add what the community needs

• Taraweeh and qiyam schedule, with the reciter or number of rakats if you publish it
• Daily iftar arrangements and how to sponsor one
• Laylat al-Qadr programme and Eid prayer times, once confirmed
• Zakat and Fitr donation information
• Parking and any road or opening-hour notes

5. Make it easy to carry

• Test on a phone first. Most people will open it there.
• Add a print stylesheet or a PDF so the timetable fits one A4 sheet for the fridge or notice board.
• Let people add the dates to their calendar if you can.
• Share the link in your social posts and on your lobby screen. See How to set up a prayer times TV display for your mosque lobby.

Keep it correct all month

Update the page quickly when a time changes, and say “Updated” with the date. If you run your site with MasjidOS, prayer times are calculated and shown for you, which removes a lot of manual editing.
