For madrasahs, maktabs & dugsis

Madrasah management software your teachers will actually use

Built for evening maktabs, weekend madrasahs and dugsi programs. Mark attendance from a phone in under a minute, log sabaq, sabqi and manzil for every student, collect fees, and keep parents genuinely informed, without asking volunteer teachers to learn a complicated system.

Designed around the reality of a madrasah

A madrasah is not a school district. Classes often run two hours an evening, many teachers volunteer, the budget is tight, and the person doing the admin is usually also teaching. Software that assumes a full-time administrator and a week of training will simply not get used.

Children's Deen is built so a teacher can open it on a phone between classes, mark the register, log what each student read, and be done. Everything else, from parent updates to progress reports, builds from that one action.

📚

Sabaq, sabqi & manzil

Log new lesson, recent revision and long-term revision separately for each student, with quality ratings and teacher notes.

📱

Phone-first for teachers

No app store download and no training day. Teachers open a link, tap through the register, and log lessons in the same screen.

💰

Fees without the friction

Term or monthly invoices with a clear list of who has paid, so the head teacher is not keeping it all in a notebook.

👥

Parent portal

Parents see attendance, what their child read this week, and how their Hifz is progressing, which stops the weekly 'how is he doing?' messages.

📋

Multi-class & multi-site

Run several classes, age groups or even separate branches under one account, with per-class teacher permissions.

📈

Progress reports

Generate an end-of-term Qur'an progress report per student in a couple of clicks instead of a weekend of handwriting.

The three jobs a madrasah system has to do

Strip away the feature lists and a madrasah needs software to do three things reliably. Everything else is secondary.

The jobWhat good looks like
Know who was thereA register that a teacher completes in under a minute on a phone, and that parents can see in their own portal without anyone re-entering anything. If marking attendance takes longer than the paper register did, teachers will go back to paper.
Know what each student readSabaq, sabqi and manzil logged separately with a quality rating and a date, in the same screen as the register. Separating the three matters because a student can be flying on new memorization while long-term revision quietly collapses, and on a single combined score you would never see it.
Keep parents genuinely informedA parent login showing attendance, this week's readings and current Hifz position. This is the difference between a madrasah that gets asked 'how is he doing?' every week and one that does not.

Why madrasah software rollouts fail

Most madrasahs that abandon a system do so for one of four reasons, and all four are avoidable.

The practical safeguard is to test with your least technical teacher, not your most. If they can mark a register unaided on their own phone, the rollout will hold.

Frequently asked questions

What is madrasah management software?

Madrasah management software is a system for running the day-to-day admin of a maktab, madrasah or dugsi: attendance registers, Qur'an and Hifz progress, student and family records, fee collection and parent communication. Unlike general school software, it is built around Islamic study structures such as sabaq, sabqi and manzil.

Will volunteer teachers be able to use it?

That is the main design constraint. Teachers only ever need to do two things: mark the register and log what each student read. Both happen on one phone screen. There is no separate teacher app to install and no training required beyond showing someone once.

Can we use it for a weekend madrasah as well as evening classes?

Yes. Classes are defined by their own schedule, so a Saturday morning program, a Sunday school and a Monday-to-Thursday evening maktab can all run under one account with different registers and different teachers.

Does it handle fee collection?

Yes, on the Growth plan and above. You can issue term or monthly invoices, track who has paid, and print copies for families.

Do we need to be technical to set it up?

No. We load your student list for you during setup, then you create classes and add your teachers. There is nothing to install, no server to run and no ongoing maintenance.
