# Mektebi: Help for mosques

> Short guides for imams, mekteb coordinators and mosque boards: set up your mekteb and run it day to day.

## Guides

- [Set up your mekteb](https://mektebi.ch/help/setup.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/mosque-details.md?locale=en): Keep your mosque's name, logo, address, phone and time zone up to date. Families see them, and certificates print them.
- [School years](https://mektebi.ch/help/school-years.md?locale=en): Groups, class times and attendance belong to a school year. Create the year, check its dates, and start the next one in summer.
- [Levels](https://mektebi.ch/help/levels.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/rooms.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/courses.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/groups-and-class-times.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/invite-teachers.md?locale=en): 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](https://mektebi.ch/help/families-register.md?locale=en): Parents register their children themselves with your QR poster or link. You then approve each child.
- [Approve a family and place the child](https://mektebi.ch/help/approve-family.md?locale=en): A family that registered waits for you. Approve the parent, then place each child on a level and course.

## The Mektebi book

- [What Mektebi is](https://mektebi.ch/book/what-mektebi-is.md?locale=en): Mektebi helps a mosque run its mekteb. The mosque and its muallims publish the teaching, and the platform only hosts it.
- [Your data stays yours](https://mektebi.ch/book/your-data-stays-yours.md?locale=en): Each mosque's data is kept apart from every other mosque. The mosque decides about its data, and FETOSOFT hosts it on the mosque's behalf.
- [People and roles](https://mektebi.ch/book/people-and-roles.md?locale=en): One login can hold several roles at a mosque: admin, muallim, student and parent. Each role sees only what it needs.
- [How teaching is organised](https://mektebi.ch/book/how-teaching-is-organised.md?locale=en): How a mekteb's teaching fits together, from school years, levels and groups to courses, lessons, attendance and grades.
- [Languages](https://mektebi.ch/book/languages.md?locale=en): Mektebi speaks six languages: English, German, Albanian, French, Italian and Romansh. Each person chooses their own, and Romansh readers see German where a text is not yet available.
- [Apps and updates](https://mektebi.ch/book/apps-and-updates.md?locale=en): The Mektebi apps for iPhone, iPad and Android show the live website, so most updates reach everyone at once without installing anything.
- [Messages, notices and emails](https://mektebi.ch/book/messages-notifications-emails.md?locale=en): How people write to each other in Mektebi, what arrives as a notification or an email, and how each person can switch kinds off.
- [AI features](https://mektebi.ch/book/ai-features.md?locale=en): Mektebi works with the AI tool you already use, such as Claude or ChatGPT. The help connector shares only the public guides; the Course Assistant helps muallims build draft courses and never sees data about students or families.
- [Security and privacy](https://mektebi.ch/book/security-and-privacy.md?locale=en): How Mektebi protects the data of mosques and families, what you can do yourself to keep your account safe, and which rights you have.
- [Versions and what's new](https://mektebi.ch/book/versions-and-whats-new.md?locale=en): Mektebi has one version number for the website and the apps, a short What's new sheet that shows once per version, and an email for mosque admins.
