Hifz Madrasa Software in Bangladesh
Sabaq is madrasa management software built in Bangladesh, and hifz departments run on it the same way every other department does: hifz classes are kept as their own classes, teachers record how each student did in the day’s lesson, monthly and yearly counts build themselves, and parents are told the same day, on their own web panel and by message. It is written in Bangla, runs on your own subdomain, and handles admission, attendance, fees, accounts and exams as well. Plans start at BDT 500 per month.
What a hifz department actually gets
Hifz classes are set up as separate classes, so admission, attendance, fees and reports can all be seen for the hifz department on its own. On top of that, the daily lesson evaluation module lets the teacher record each day how the student did.
| What you get | How it works |
|---|---|
| Hifz class list | The hifz department is its own class, with its own student list, attendance and fee structure |
| Daily lesson mark | The teacher taps one of four marks against each name for the day: good, average, weak or absent |
| Your own wording | The four marks can be renamed to whatever the madrasa already calls them, with your own short codes and colours |
| Separate books or parts | If a subject is taught from more than one book or part, each one is counted separately |
| Monthly and yearly counts | How many good, average, weak and absent days each student had, counted as you go, with a yearly summary |
| Printed sheet | The month’s sheet prints with the madrasa name and signature lines for the class teacher and the principal |
The Bangla hifz department page and the daily lesson evaluation page show the same thing in more detail.
How teachers record the day
- The teacher picks the class, subject, book and month, and the whole month appears as one grid: names down the left, dates across the top.
- In today’s column they tap a mark against each name. A class takes a few seconds.
- A wrong tap can be changed by tapping again; marks cannot be entered for future dates.
- The month’s counts update as they go, and the office and principal see the same sheet.
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; if Google Play is not available, ask on WhatsApp), a parent sees the day’s lesson mark, the month’s counts, 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.
The month, on one sheet
The daily mark on its own is not what changes anything. The month is. Once a class has been marked for four weeks, the sheet shows every student’s row at a glance, and three questions answer themselves without anyone reading back through a register.
- Who has slipped. A row that was mostly good in the first fortnight and mostly weak in the second is visible from across the room
- Who is absent rather than weak. These are different problems with different remedies, and a notebook tends to blur them together
- Which class is struggling as a class, which usually points at the timetable or the teacher’s load rather than the students
The sheet prints with signature lines for the class teacher and the head teacher, so it works as the document a muhtamim signs at the end of the month rather than something that only exists on a screen.
What the guardian gets
A hifz guardian is usually the least informed person in the arrangement. They hand over a child and hear something once a term. Two things change that.
First, the guardian signs in to their own panel and sees the same monthly figures the teacher entered, day by day. Second, the madrasa can switch on a daily message at a fixed time, so the evening’s question at home becomes a specific one. Neither costs the guardian anything, and neither requires them to visit.
One honest note: daily lesson evaluation is on the web for now, not inside the Android app. The guardian opens it in a browser. Everything else on the app page, attendance, dues, results and notices, is in the app itself.
Noorani, nazera and maktab classes
Very few institutions are purely hifz. Most run a noorani or nazera section, often with morning and afternoon shifts and different children in each. Shifts are handled directly, so a child in the morning shift is not marked absent for an afternoon that was never theirs, and each section keeps its own class list, its own fees and its own attendance.
Boarding, for a residential hifz madrasa
Most hifz institutions board their students, and the kitchen is usually the ledger nobody enjoys. It is in the same system: who boards, seat and room records, daily meal entries, the bazar ledger with a photo of the paper memo attached to the entry, and a monthly boarding bill that joins the student’s ordinary dues rather than being chased separately.
None of this is charged separately
Hifz classes, daily lesson evaluation, boarding, shifts, the app, the reports: all inside the plan. Sabaq does not sell modules one at a time, so a hifz madrasa pays the same licence as any other institution of its size. Only SMS credit, RFID cards, biometric devices and a website cost extra, because those have a real cost behind them.
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.
What does it cost?
BDT 500 per month, BDT 5,000 per year or BDT 20,000 one time, plus a one time installation fee of BDT 2,000 for madrasas under 200 students or BDT 5,000 above. Subdomain, hosting, the app, updates and support are included; there is no separate charge for the hifz module. Details on the pricing page.
