A mosque schedule may show two times for each Salah. One marks the call to prayer, and the other tells you when the congregation begins.
Read the column labels
Adhan is the call to prayer. Iqamah is the announcement that the congregational prayer is about to start. In practice, a mosque may show the start of the prayer window in one column and the scheduled congregational time in another. The gap can vary by prayer, day or mosque.
Use the timetable for your situation
If you plan to attend the mosque, check its iqamah time and give yourself time to arrive. If you are setting a personal reminder, use the local prayer time for your location and calculation setting. For example, a mosque can schedule Dhuhr congregation after the window opens so more worshippers can arrive. Both entries serve a purpose.
