United StatesFrom full-time Islamic academies to Sunday schools and masjid Qur'an halaqas — one system for attendance, Hifz progress, tuition and parent communication, priced for community-run institutions rather than school districts.
Islamic education in the United States spans an unusually wide range: accredited full-time academies with several hundred students, weekend schools attached to a masjid, and small Qur'an halaqas run by one or two teachers. What they share is a need to track Qur'an alongside academics, communicate with parents who expect the same polish they get from mainstream schools, and do it without a district IT budget.
Daily attendance, report cards covering Qur'an, Arabic and Islamic Studies alongside core academics, tuition billing and family accounts.
Online registration, one-tap attendance for volunteer teachers, term fees and whole-school announcements.
Track Hifz and Nazirah students across halaqas, with progress visible to parents and continuity between teachers.
Monthly or annual tuition, sibling discounts, scholarship adjustments and card payments, with automatic reminders.
Row-level security means each parent account can only read its own children's records. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Nothing to install. Teachers use phones, the office uses a laptop, parents use whatever they have.
Islamic education in the US does not have one shape, and software that assumes it does tends to overserve the small programs and underserve the large ones. These are the three configurations schools typically run.
| Institution type | Typical setup | What matters most |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time Islamic academy | Daily attendance, gradebooks covering both core academics and Qur'an, Arabic and Islamic Studies, monthly tuition with payment plans, family accounts with multiple children. | Report cards that present Islamic subjects alongside academics without bolting on a second system, and tuition billing that handles sibling discounts and scholarships cleanly. |
| Weekend or Sunday school | Online registration each August, one-tap attendance for volunteer teachers, term fees, whole-school announcements. | Nothing that requires training. Enrollment and attendance have to work for people giving up a Sunday morning. |
| Masjid Qur'an program | Halaqa-based classes, Hifz and Nazirah students tracked side by side, often several teachers sharing students. | Continuity between teachers and a parent-facing progress view. The program usually has no admin staff at all. |
What happens to our existing records? Student and family data imports from a spreadsheet, which is how nearly every school starts. Historical Qur'an progress is usually entered as a current position rather than a full back-history, since re-keying years of registers rarely pays for itself.
Do parents need to download anything? No. Parents receive an invitation email and log in through a browser on any device. Removing the app-store step meaningfully increases how many families actually activate their account.
Can we control what teachers see? Yes. Teachers are assigned to specific classes and can only view and edit students in those classes. Administrators see the whole school.
What if we outgrow it? You can export your data at any time. It is worth asking any vendor this before committing, not after.
Yes. Full-time Islamic schools use the complete platform: daily attendance, gradebooks and report cards covering both academics and Islamic subjects, tuition billing with payment plans, and parent accounts.
Yes. You can bill monthly or annually, apply sibling discounts and scholarship adjustments, take card payments, and send automatic reminders when a payment is late.
Student records are protected by row-level security in the database, so a parent account is technically incapable of reading another family's records. All traffic is encrypted over HTTPS and the app enforces a strict content security policy.
