Find Mosques Near You

Enter a latitude and longitude to instantly retrieve nearby mosques from our database.

Coverage & Data Quality

Our mosque database covers every city in our directory, with verified listings including names, addresses, and map links. Results are returned instantly.

Cities with no mosques nearby return an empty result ([]) rather than an error. The search uses a configurable radius, so you can widen the search if your city has sparse results.

API for Developers

Integrate mosque lookup into your app, website, or prayer time tool using our free JSON API. No API key required. CORS is enabled — call directly from browser JavaScript.

Endpoint

Returns a JSON array of mosques ordered by distance ascending. Always returns 200 — empty array when nothing is found.
