Why We Charge £5 to Add or Edit a Mosque Listing
When you visit Muslimnet UK, you're accessing one of the most comprehensive mosque directories in the United Kingdom. But you might wonder: why is there a £5 fee to add or edit a mosque listing?
It's a fair question, and we want to be completely transparent about our reasoning.
The Problem We're Solving
Before we implemented this system, we faced several challenges:
- Spam submissions: Fake or duplicate listings cluttered the directory
- Inaccurate data: Without accountability, outdated information lingered
- Low-quality entries: Many submissions lacked essential details
- Sustainability: Running and maintaining a quality platform costs money
How the £5 Fee Helps
1. Quality Over Quantity
When someone pays £5 to add a mosque, they're invested in providing accurate, complete information. This simple barrier dramatically reduces spam and ensures that every listing adds genuine value to the community.
2. Verification and Maintenance
Your contribution directly supports:
- Server costs to keep the directory online 24/7
- Development time to improve features and fix bugs
- Data verification efforts to ensure accuracy
- Community support to help users with issues
3. Community Accountability
A small fee creates a sense of ownership. When you've contributed to adding or updating a listing, you're more likely to ensure the information stays current and helpful.
What You Get for £5
- Your mosque listing appears in the directory immediately after payment
- The listing includes all details: address, services, facilities, contact info, and more
- Your contribution helps fellow Muslims find places to pray
- You're participating in Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) - every person who finds a mosque through your listing earns you reward
Coupons and Promotions
We occasionally offer promotional codes for:
- Mosque administrators adding their own mosque
- Community members adding multiple mosques in underserved areas
- Special Islamic occasions like Ramadan

The Bigger Picture
Think of it this way: a cup of coffee costs more than £5, but lasts only minutes. Your mosque listing will help Muslims find a place to pray for years to come. It's a small investment with lasting impact.

We understand that not everyone may be able to afford even a small fee. If you're in genuine financial hardship and want to add a mosque, please contact us. We're a community-first platform, and we'll work with you to find a solution.
