Ask most people what maktab software does and they'll describe attendance registers, fee reminders, and end-of-term reports. That's true of Labbaik too. But it's not the whole story, and it's not why we built it.
More than a business tool. A home for the ummah.
Most platforms in this space are built and sold as a product for one department: the maktab office. Labbaik is built as infrastructure for the whole community. The same free account that tracks a child's Hifz progress can run your masjid's donation page, sell tickets to an Eid event, register volunteers for a food bank, or send a Jummah reminder to five hundred families in one tap.
Masajid, madrasahs, charities, donors, teachers, parents, and everyone who simply turns up to Jumu'ah or a community iftar. They're all the same ummah, and they all deserve tools that were actually designed for them, not repurposed from generic school software or bolted onto a payment processor.
Every part of the mosque and madrasah, not just Hifz tracking
It's easy to hear "maktab platform" and assume we only do Hifz and Qur'an tracking. We don't. Labbaik is built to run every part of a masjid or madrasah, and everything around it:
- Hifz, Qur'an and Islamic studies progress, class by class and student by student
- Non-Islamic classes too — Arabic, tuition, sports, adult education, anything your community runs
- Donations and Sadaqah, from one-off giving to recurring campaigns and Zakat
- Events, from Jumu'ah lectures and Eid gatherings to community dinners and fitness programmes
- Certificates, including Nikah, Shahada and ijazah, issued digitally and verifiable by anyone
- Admin and payroll, so committees and treasurers aren't stuck running the office on spreadsheets
And we connect to where everyone already is: WhatsApp. Not a separate app to download, not another login to remember. Attendance alerts, payment links, event reminders and donation receipts all reach parents and donors on WhatsApp, through the automation and support that turns admin work into something that happens in the background instead of eating a committee member's evening.
Open from day one. No demo, no email gate, no subscription.
We don't believe a mosque should have to book a sales call to see what a platform does. We don't believe a volunteer-run madrasah should have to hand over an email address just to try it. And we don't believe access to modern tools, branding, and a way to bring your community together should sit behind a monthly bill.
So Labbaik doesn't gate any of that. You sign up and you're in. Every core tool — attendance, Hifz tracking, fee management, WhatsApp messaging, event pages, a branded public page for your organisation — is free to start and stays free, for as long as you need it.
50+ mosques and madrasahs, in just four months
We're proud, and honestly a little humbled, to have crossed 50 mosques and madrasahs using Labbaik in under four months. Not through advertising budgets or a sales team knocking on doors, but because the platform is genuinely easy to pick up and genuinely free to start. Word travels fast between committees when something just works, and doesn't ask for a card number first.
That number matters less to us as a milestone and more as proof of a simple bet: remove the friction, and communities will come. Fifty was never the target. It's the first marker on a much longer road.
Started in the UK. Built for the ummah, worldwide.
Labbaik started in the UK, and UK maktabs and masajid are still where most of our roots are. But the vision was never a UK product. It's a worldwide one. The ummah doesn't stop at a border, and neither should the tools that serve it.
That's why Labbaik is built mobile-first, so it works as well on a shared family phone in a small maktab as it does on a committee laptop. It's built with multi-currency support, so a masjid collecting Sadaqah in Kuala Lumpur or Toronto sees the currency its own community actually uses. And it's built with multi-language support, because a platform for the global ummah has no business insisting everyone read it in English.
We're not there yet in every country, and we won't pretend otherwise. But the direction is fixed: a free, accessible system that any masjid, madrasah or charity, anywhere in the world, can pick up and use to unite its own community, and by extension, the wider one.
Stripe, entirely optional
Fee collection and donations work inside Labbaik with or without a payment processor connected. If your organisation wants to streamline that side, an optional Stripe connection lets you collect fees and donations on time, automatically, with modern payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay built in. Nothing about it is required, and nothing about your Labbaik account depends on switching it on. It's there for organisations that want it, and invisible to the ones that don't.
We've only just got started
Fifty mosques and madrasahs in four months is not an ending point. It's the beginning of a platform built for every masjid, every madrasah, every charity, and every single person who shows up for their community, wherever in the world that community happens to be.
If you've been waiting for a demo call, an email chain, or a subscription decision before you could bring your community online, that wait is over. Join Labbaik today, free, and let's connect the ummah together.
