alMinaret is all about making it easy for Masajid, Islamic Organizations, and Communities to connect with each other better.
Beautiful & Quality Websites
Websites are an essential part of an organization so others can get to know more about the organization. Most of
our Masajid and Islamic Orgs
are struggling to maintain a quality website that conveys the right information. We wanted to challenge that.
With alMinaret, any Masjid or Islamic Org can easily launch and maintain a high-quality website that's,
- beautifully designed
- rich in information
- consistent in structure
- secured with SSL
- developed with the latest-and-greatest technology
- hosted with high-end hosting providers, etc.

Easy to use Mobile Apps
With the community on the move and the younger generation using mobile apps for everything we can think of,
it's vitally important for Masajid and Islamic Orgs to reach out to them on mobile devices as well.
With alMinaret, not only Masajid and Islamic Orgs get a quality website, but they also get free
high-quality Mobile Apps for both
iOS and Android, that helps the Masajid/Islamic Orgs and the communities be in touch with each other from
wherever they are. The community can
"follow" multiple Masajid/Islamic Orgs using a single mobile app and would get immediate Push Notifications as
soon as the Masajid or Islamic Orgs
they follow has something to inform them. They also can get to see the Iqamah timings at their Masajid so they
can try to make it for Jama'ah. And a whole lot more features are available with the mobile apps.
Check it out insha'Allah.
No Technical Knowledge Needed
Masajid and Islamic Orgs are not technical institutions, and in the vast majority of cases Masajid/Islamic Orgs
don't have much technical
expertise to
maintain a quality website in the long run. Typically, if you are using any generic CMS platforms to run your
Masjid/Islamic Org
websites, first they require a lot of technical know-how to setup a quality website, and second, they all
require
constant updates and security patches to keep them up-to-date. In the vast majority of cases, the version
updates
were not well maintained, and security patches were not kept up-to-date, and that leads to a website that's
sub-par
in terms of quality and vulnerable for any spammers to spam/hack the website. We've seen it a lot, and we wanted
to help our beloved Masajid and Islamic Orgs maintain a quality online presence.
With alMinaret, Masajid and Islamic Orgs can focus only on the content and leave the technical know-hows
on how to run a
quality website
to the alMinaret team, Alhamdulillah.
Additional Income to the Masjid/Islamic Org
Local businesses, Muslim and non-Muslim businesses, crave for to get their words out to the community. They'll
be willing
to donate to the Masjid/Islamic Org while spreading their word out; it certainly is a win-win for them. It
doesn't have to
be
just Muslim businesses (of course, they get preference naturally!) but non-Muslim businesses, like for example,
kids
education franchises etc., can also advertise on the website and that can generate additional income to the
Masjid or Islamic Orb,
to be spent on a good cause.
With alMinaret, Masajid and Islamic Orgs can help local businesses advertise on their websites easily
and can easily
generate additional
income to the Masjid.
Email & Mobile Push Notifications
After posting an update as a blog post to the website are you still copy/pasting a bunch of emails to
alert the community?
Wondering if all those emails reached their Inbox or ended in their Spam folder? Not anymore, insha'Allah.
With alMinaret, as soon as you make an annoucement, post an event, post a volunteer request or Dua
request, or when
Salah times change at the Masjid, automated email notifications go out all the Masjid/Islamic Org "followers"
and
"subscribers",
and that's sent through a paid service whose only job is to make sure all those emails get delivered to the
recipient's
Inboxes. Along with emails, push notifications are sent out to all the Masjid/Islamic Org "followers" who has
downloaded
alMinaret
mobile apps. With all these automated infrastructure, the community is well informed, insha'Allah.
Event RSVPs
Volunteers at the Masjid/Islamic Org spend time and effort to organize useful events to the community but they
don't have a
good RSVP
system in place and so they take a guess in terms of how many people are going to show up for those events. It's
a definite hit-and-miss, and many times we end up with disappointment, food wastage etc. and in some cases
shortages
and complaints.
With alMinaret, with every event you publish, the community can RSVP for those events, using web and
mobile apps,
with head-counts so you can plan your event arrangements accordingly, insha'Allah.
Volunteer Request Sign-ups
When Masjid/Islamic Org needs help, we look for volunteers to give a hand. We send out emails and hope for the
best,
Bi'iznillah. Most
of the time the organizers have no clue on how many people are going to show up to help with that volunteer
request,
or should they be thinking about Plan-B?
With alMinaret, with every volunteer request you publish, the community is fully aware of whether that
help would
involve physical activity, travel, etc. and can sign-up accordingly for those volunteer requests so the
organizers
can plan properly, insha'Allah. They get to see who has signed-up and can reach out to them.
Registrations
Registrations are helping the Masajid Administrations and also the communities to register for larger
gatherings such as Jumuah prayers etc. With the need to limit the attendance so we can maintain social distancing,
and also for any contact-tracing reasons, it's vitally important for the Masjid Administration to know who attended
the large gatherings and keep a record of them.
Registrations feature at alMinaret was helping Masjid Administration easily publish registration requests and keep track of
who attended those events. The community finds it so easy to respond, using their phone itself, and so there's less friction in them responding.
Live Streams
With the pandemic and everyone staying home mostly and not able to come to the Masjid for other programs and such, it's important that the
Masjid Administration make effort to connect with the community in any way possible.
Live Streams feature at alMinaret was helping Masajid Administrations easily broadcast notifications to the followers, whenever they
go online with any programs. Those who missed the event can find a library of useful videos to watch and stay in touch with their Masjid better.
These are just a few of the benefits we wanted to highlight. There are many, many more benefits when you use alMinaret platform to power your Masjid or Islamic Org's websites and mobile apps, insha'Allah.
In this day and age, a quality website, that's fully functional, is not only a reflection of the Masjid/Islamic Org but also a reflection of the community that supports the Masjid/Islamic Org. Not only the Islamic community looks for a quality website, but also the community we live amongst seeks out information from a quality website. And also, reaching out to the community via quality mobile apps only make every effort at the Masjid much more efficient, insha'Allah.
