Built for Islamic organisations

Zakat has eight categories. Your software should know all of them.

Riwaq handles Zakat across the eight Quranic asnaf, Janazah from intake to burial, and Hifz progress by Surah and Juz — built around how a masjid actually works.

From the Zakat cycle to the boiler service

A masjid is a place of worship, a school, a charity, an employer and a building. Riwaq covers all five — 57 modules, grouped the way your board already thinks about the work rather than by how the software is built.

Worship & community 16 modules

Zakat across the eight asnaf, Janazah from the 3am call to the follow-up next month, Hifz by Surah and Juz.

Money & trust 9 modules

Campaigns, pledges, recurring gifts, batch entry for cash nights, in-kind donations and Waqf principal kept separate from what may be spent.

Care & relief 3 modules

Interest-free Qard Hasan loans, one beneficiary record per family across every programme, and a front door for requests for help.

Programmes 4 modules

Weekend school and classes, sponsorships, scholarships and the food programme — with the safeguarding paperwork attached.

Running the masjid 7 modules

Halls and rooms, hire fees, cleaning checklists, inspections, work orders and vendors. The nikah on Saturday and the boiler service on Tuesday, in one place.

Governance & platform 7 modules

Board packs generated rather than assembled the night before, multi-branch isolation, API access and webhooks.

Premier feature

Describe the event. Get the poster.

Poster Studio makes real artwork from the event already in your system — then publishes it with a QR code that is tracked. So you can finally answer the question nobody could answer before: did the poster on the door actually bring anyone in?

  • Write one sentence about the event and the brief fills itself in
  • Generated artwork, not a template with your text dropped in
  • A QR code with tracked links — scans, registrations and giving attributed back to the poster
  • Drafts, publications and reprints kept, so next Ramadan starts from last Ramadan

Instead of a volunteer rebuilding a Canva file every Thursday night.

You are not buying software. You are getting a team.

A platform your volunteers cannot get help with is a platform they will stop using by Ramadan. So the software comes with people attached.

Shaped around your masjid

No two masajid run the same way. Your Zakat committee has its own approval steps, your membership year starts when it starts, your board wants the report in its own format. We adapt Riwaq to how you already work — custom fields, workflows, reports and integrations — rather than asking the community to change to suit the software.

Full IT support

Most masajid have no IT department, and the person who set up the email left three years ago. We support the whole picture — accounts and email, the devices in the office, the network in the building, the screens in the prayer hall — not only the part of it that is Riwaq. One number to call.

“Our masajid were running on Google Sheets, an Excel file on somebody’s laptop, a folder of Word documents and a WhatsApp group — held together by volunteers giving their evenings. I built Riwaq so that work finally has a system that speaks our language: nisab, asnaf, Janazah, Hifz.”

Why “Riwaq”

Riwaq (رواق) — the arcaded colonnade that surrounds a masjid’s courtyard. In the spirit of the early mosque, where companions gathered for prayer, learning, and community affairs, Riwaq is built to help today’s masajid organize that same sacred work with clarity and care.

Next step

Bring your hardest month

Ramadan, a Zakat cycle close, the week you buried three people and still had to open the school on Sunday. Show us that month and we will walk you through how Riwaq would have carried it.
