The Saturday problem

Your school runs four hours a week. Admin shouldn't take twenty.

Most weekend schools are held together by one exhausted volunteer, three spreadsheets and a parents' group chat. Here's what changes.

Before
  • Paper registers that never get typed up
  • Chasing tuition family by family over text
  • "Which class is my son in?" every September
  • Progress known only by the teacher who taught it
  • A board meeting spent rebuilding last year's numbers
With Hidayah
  • Register marked on a phone in 30 seconds
  • Invoices issue themselves; ACH autopay collects
  • Parents self-enroll online, you approve in one click
  • Hifz, Qaida and Tajweed logged and visible to families
  • Export to CSV and PDF for the board

Everything included

Eight areas. One flat plan. Nothing held back for a higher tier.

From the first day a student enrolls to the moment a family pays their last invoice.

Student records

Student profiles

Date of birth, medical conditions, allergies and emergency contacts, all on one profile.

Multiple guardians

Mother, father, grandparents, each with their own login and notification preferences.

Shared family logins

One parent login manages every sibling at the school.

Online enrollment

Families apply from your website. Approve, waitlist or decline. Approval creates the student, parent login and fees in one step.

Bulk import, or we do it free

Upload your spreadsheet and we map students, siblings, parents and classes with duplicate protection. Or send it to us and we'll load it for you.

Search and filters

Find students by name, class or status, including anyone not yet assigned to a class.

Attendance

Mobile-first register

Teachers tap Present, Late or Absent on a phone or tablet. Built for how a register is actually taken.

Late arrival tracking

Late minutes are tallied, shown to parents and carried into end-of-term reports.

Teacher auto-attendance

Volunteer teachers are marked present when they sign in from your school subdomain, with no clock-in screen.

Absence excuses

Record and approve excuses for travel, illness or family events, with a clean log per student.

Attendance trends

Rates per class, per student and per week.

Email notifications

Parents get emails when fees are due or their child's record changes.

Tuition & payments

Card & ACH in USD

Collected through Stripe and settled straight to your school's bank account. ACH costs less than card on recurring tuition.

Automatic invoices

Define a fee structure once; monthly or semester invoices go out to every family on schedule.

Smart reminders

Polite automated nudges before and after the due date, with a one-tap link to pay. You stop being the bad guy.

Sibling & hardship discounts

Adjust invoices for sibling discounts, hardship or Zakat-eligible families, with every change logged.

Cash & check recording

Still take cash on Saturday morning? Record it in seconds. Online and offline sit in one ledger.

Receipts & refunds

A receipt on every payment, downloadable anytime. Refunds and adjustments without leaving Hidayah.

Parent portal & your school website

Per-child dashboard

Parents switch between children and see attendance, balance, payments and Hifz progress at a glance.

Pay in two taps

Card or ACH via Stripe, with saved payment methods for repeat payments.

Live progress visibility

Hifz, Qaida and Tajweed notes appear as soon as teachers log them, with no waiting for a term handout.

Announcements board

Post once, and every family sees it in their portal. Term dates, closures, event reminders.

A website for your school

A simple builder publishes a public site with your logo, colors and content, included in the plan.

Fee history & receipts

Every invoice, payment and balance per child, with a receipt number on each transaction.

Academic management

Classes & sections

Year groups, levels, ability streams, set up however your school runs. Move students mid-year.

Subjects

Quran, Arabic, Islamic Studies, Urdu, Tajweed, Fiqh. Each class has an assigned teacher, and subjects carry through to exams and report cards.

Hifz tracker

Log memorization by surah, with a dated note each session on new work and revision.

Qaida & Tajweed lessons

Qaida and Tajweed progress recorded the same way, as dated notes, ideal for early learners and revert classes.

Notes & comments

Private per-student notes on Akhlaq and behaviour, visible only to staff with permission.

Academic years

Track enrollment per year so old records stay clean and new ones don't get muddled.

Staff, volunteers & permissions

Principal & head teacher

Full academic access, class management and reporting, scoped to your school only.

Office staff

Admissions, enrollment and parent enquiries, with no financial reports unless you grant them.

Treasurer / accountant

Finance-only access: invoices, payments, refunds and reports. No academic data.

Volunteer class teacher

Sees only assigned classes. Marks attendance, logs Hifz, leaves notes, nothing more.

Custom roles

Need a role for a trustee or a weekend volunteer? Build one with exactly the permissions they need.

Audit log

Changes to student records and payment records are logged with who and when, which is useful for governance.

Reports & insights

Fee collection report

Billed, collected and outstanding, by class, period and fee type.

Attendance report

Per-student and per-class rates.

Revenue by fee type

Tuition, exam fees, books, trips. Useful when setting next year's budget.

Outstanding balances

Which families are behind and by how much. Reminders run on a daily schedule.

Class assignment report

Headcount per class, who's assigned where, and who's still unallocated before a new term.

Export anywhere

Export to CSV and PDF. No vendor lock-in, ever.

Trust, security & compliance

Encrypted in transit

All connections use TLS. Credentials are hashed; card data is delegated to Stripe.

PCI compliance via Stripe

We never see, store or touch card numbers. Stripe is a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider.

Multi-tenant isolation

Your school's data is scoped to your organization. One school's data is never visible to another.

Privacy by design

Access, correction and deletion requests honoured; built on data minimisation and purpose limitation.

Regular backups

Backed up on a schedule with documented recovery, so hardware failure doesn't mean lost records.

Teacher device security

Optionally lock teacher logins to your school's own tablets with passkey-secured pairing.

Free with every plan

Prayer times on your masjid TV, set up in minutes.

Type one link into any smart TV or Fire Stick. Prayer times, Jumu'ah, notices and duas go on the wall and keep themselves right, with no password on the TV and nothing to install.

  • ISNA, MWL, Umm al-Qura, Karachi or Egyptian calculation, with Hanafi or standard Asr
  • Multiple Jumu'ah sittings, khutbah and iqamah times typed by your committee
  • Notices with an end date, duas with translations, Ramadan suhoor/iftar countdown
  • The dashboard tells you in plain words if a screen stops reporting

The masjid side of Hidayah is given, not sold. A lobby screen is sadaqah jariyah. We earn our keep on the school side.

Questions weekend school admins ask

Do you charge my card during the 30-day trial?+

No. We run a verification on the card at signup to confirm it's real, and no money is taken. Billing starts only if you continue after day 30, and you can cancel before then.

We only meet on weekends. Does that work?+

Yes. Classes are scheduled on the days you actually run.

How do parents pay in the US?+

Card or ACH bank debit through Stripe, in USD, settling directly into your school's bank account. Autopay means recurring tuition collects itself. Cash and checks can still be recorded in the same ledger.

Our records are in spreadsheets and on paper.+

Send them over and we'll do the import for you at no cost: students, siblings, parents and classes, with duplicate protection. You can also upload it yourself in the dashboard.

Our teachers are volunteers who aren't technical.+

A teacher only ever sees their own classes and a register they tap through on a phone. They're marked present automatically when they sign in, so there's nothing else to learn.

Is student data kept private?+

Every school's data is isolated to its own organization, connections are TLS encrypted, credentials are hashed, and card data never touches our servers. Stripe handles it as a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider.

What if we leave?+

Cancel anytime. Export to CSV and PDF, so you leave with your data.

Give your volunteers their weekend back.

Set up your school today and run the next class from Hidayah. 30 days free, card verified but never charged, migration on us.
