This guide is for worshippers and listeners who use the Minbur app or website to follow the sermon in their own language. You do not need an account to listen.
1. Find your mosque
- Scan QR: scan the code at the mosque entrance or on the screen. It opens your mosque directly.
- Pick your mosque: open the app and choose it from the list.
- Near me: press Near me to sort mosques by distance. Your location is used only when you ask, and it is not saved.
2. Choose your language
Use the language list at the top of any page. The menus and the sermon text change at once, and your choice is remembered. If a sermon is not yet translated into your language you see the original text.
3. Follow the sermon
- Open the Live tab. Each line of the sermon appears as the speaker moves on.
- Press Listen to hear the lines read aloud in order.
- When the speaker allows it, a Live audio bar appears with Start, Pause and Stop listening. Earbuds work well.
- Tap any line to keep it in Saved.
4. Archive and Saved
Archive lists earlier sermons of your mosque so you can read them later. Saved keeps the lines you tapped. With an account, your saved lines follow you to every device.
5. Slides and the screen
Some mosques show slides or a big screen. Your phone follows the same sermon, so you can read in your own language while the screen shows the original.
6. Tools
- Qibla direction: shows the direction of prayer.
- LIVE Quran: listen live to Quran channels, and join a channel your mosque offers.
- Prayer times appear for your mosque when it has set them.
7. Reading and hearing support
- Larger text: press A+.
- High contrast: press the half-moon button.
- Read aloud: use Listen to have lines read to you.
8. Donate
Press Donate to see how your mosque accepts gifts, for example bank transfer. Follow the steps shown and keep your receipt. The platform cannot reverse a bank transfer; contact your mosque's treasurer if you made a mistake.
9. Your account (optional)
- Open the profile icon and choose Create account.
- An account only keeps your bookmarks and settings across devices.
- Under Privacy you can Download my data or Delete my account at any time.
10. Privacy
You do not need an account to listen. Your language, mosque and view choices stay on your device, and on your account if you are signed in. Minbur is suitable for all ages; children should use it with a parent's or teacher's agreement.
11. Problems and help
- I cannot hear the speaker: the speaker may have switched live audio off. You can still read the lines and use Listen.
- The sermon does not move: check your internet connection and refresh the page.
- My language is missing: the mosque chooses the languages; ask the institute to add yours.
- Still stuck: use the Contact page or the help assistant and describe what happened.
