Help for mosques
Short guides for imams, mekteb coordinators and mosque boards: set up your mekteb and run it day to day.
Set up your mekteb
The seven steps that take a new mekteb from sign-up to its first class. Do them in any order.
Mosque details, logo and time zone
Keep your mosque's name, logo, address, phone and time zone up to date. Families see them, and certificates print them.
School years
Groups, class times and attendance belong to a school year. Create the year, check its dates, and start the next one in summer.
Levels
Levels are the stages of your mekteb, for example Elifba, Qur'an reading and Tajweed. You set them once; each year children are placed in them.
Rooms
The rooms your classes meet in. Add at least one; Mektebi warns you when two groups need the same room at the same time.
Courses
Each level needs a course before its groups can get a class time. Create one yourself or import a ready course from the Library.
Groups and class times
A group is one class in a level, for one school year, for example Elifba A on Saturday at 10:00.
Invite teachers and admins
Invite a muallim or a second admin by email. They get a link, create their login and join your mekteb.
Families register with the poster
Parents register their children themselves with your QR poster or link. You then approve each child.
Approve a family and place the child
A family that registered waits for you. Approve the parent, then place each child on a level and course.
How Mektebi works
Read the Mektebi book: how your mosque's data is kept apart, the roles, the apps, and what each version changes.
