Hifz Madrasa Software: Daily Sabaq, Sabqi and Amukhta Records for Every Student
Sabaq is hifz madrasa software that lets teachers record each student’s sabaq (new lesson), sabqi (recent revision) and amukhta (old revision) every day, track which para (one of the thirty sections of the Quran) they have reached, and send that progress to parents through a free Android app and SMS. It is written in Bangla, runs on your own subdomain, and handles the rest of the madrasa too: admission, attendance, fees, accounts and exams. Plans start at BDT 500 per month.
What does hifz madrasa software actually record?
A hifz teacher’s register has three columns that no school software understands: today’s new lesson, yesterday’s and recent revision, and the long term revision of everything memorised so far. Sabaq keeps exactly those three, per student, per day, with the para and remarks, and builds reports from them. The table explains the terms for readers who are new to them.
| Term | Meaning | What the teacher enters |
|---|---|---|
| Sabaq | The new portion memorised today | Para and the lines or pages covered, quality remark |
| Sabqi | Revision of the most recent lessons (usually the current para) | Portion revised, whether it was heard correctly |
| Amukhta | Revision of older paras already completed | Para revised, mistakes, remark |
| Para progress | How many of the thirty paras the student has completed | Updated automatically as sabaq moves forward |
| Remarks | Teacher note for the day | Free text, visible to parents if the madrasa chooses |
The madrasa decides how much detail to record; some enter only the para, others enter pages and a quality mark for each of the three columns. The Bangla hifz tracking page shows the actual screens.
How do teachers enter the daily record?
- The teacher opens the Sabaq Android app or the web system and selects their hifz class.
- For each student they enter today’s sabaq, sabqi and amukhta, and any remark. It takes a few seconds per student once the class is set up.
- The record is saved to the madrasa’s account immediately; the office and the principal can see it on the web.
- Parents who have the app see the same day’s entry for their child.
How do parents see hifz progress?
Most hifz students live in the madrasa as boarders, and their families may be in another district or abroad. Through the free Android app (on Google Play or as a direct APK), a parent sees the daily sabaq, sabqi and amukhta entries, the para count, attendance, dues and notices. Where a family does not use a smartphone, the madrasa can send SMS updates and due reminders from its SMS package, and can print a hifz progress report to hand over when the family visits. More on the app page.
What about noorani and nazera classes?
Beginners who are still learning to read the Quran (noorani, the phonics stage, and nazera, reading with sight) are usually a separate class in the same madrasa. Sabaq handles them as ordinary classes with attendance, fees and simple progress notes, and a student who completes nazera can be promoted into the hifz department without creating a new profile. Their history stays in one record from the first day to completion of hifz.
What else does a hifz madrasa get?
- Admission and student profiles with guardian contact details and photos.
- Attendance by app or ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices, with absence SMS to guardians.
- Fees, boarding charges, chanda (regular community contribution) and donations, each with a printed receipt and a dues list.
- Income and expense accounts for the committee, including food and salary expenses.
- Hifz exams and completion certificates, ID cards and admit cards from ready print designs.
- Reports: per student hifz history, class progress summary, attendance and fee collection.
The full list is on the features page; Qawmi madrasas with both hifz and kitab departments should also read the Qawmi madrasa software page.
