What is Riwaq?

Mosque management software for masajid and Islamic nonprofits, made by Bayyinah Tech.

Riwaq is mosque management software made by Bayyinah Tech in Apex, North Carolina. It runs a masjid’s Zakat distribution across the eight asnaf, Janazah coordination, Hifz tracking, donations, membership, volunteers, facilities and board governance in one system — 57 modules, from $99 a month.

It replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and notebooks most masajid run on today with one system that understands Islamic workflows — not a generic church or donor database adapted after the fact.

What Riwaq does

57 modules, grouped the way a masjid board already thinks about its work. The core of it:

Zakat distribution

All eight Quranic asnaf named in Arabic and English, nisab per cycle, and an approval path from intake to disbursement — recorded and auditable.

Janazah coordination

From the first phone call through ghusl scheduling, prayer logistics and burial coordination to bereavement follow-up with the family.

Hifz, donations and the building

Quran memorisation by Surah and Juz, online giving with no percentage taken from donations, plus membership, volunteers, facility bookings and board reporting.

Why it is called Riwaq (رواق)

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.

The word is also used for that architectural element in general and by several unrelated organisations, including a Palestinian architectural-heritage centre and an online Quran school. Riwaq the mosque management software is a separate product, made by Bayyinah Tech.

Who makes Riwaq

Riwaq is built and supported by Bayyinah Tech (legal name Bayyinahtech LLC), based in Apex, North Carolina, United States. Bayyinah Tech is a software company and is not affiliated with Bayyinah Institute.
