Hifz tracked the way it is actually taught

Halqas with their own teachers and students, and a daily record of sabaq, sabqi and manzil per student across the whole syllabus.

What this usually looks like today

Most school software has no idea what hifz is. Schools that need it end up recording memorisation as a subject with a mark out of a hundred, which describes none of what actually happens in a halqa.

So the real record stays in the teacher's own register: which para a student is on, what was revised, what was weak this week. When that teacher leaves, the record leaves with them.

Tracked properly, a student's progress through the syllabus is institutional knowledge rather than one person's notebook.

What it handles

Grouped by the job it does rather than listed as one long set of features.

Halqas

Groups with their own assigned teacher and enrolled students, which is how the teaching is actually organised.

Daily sabaq

New memorisation recorded per student per day, at the granularity a teacher works in.

Sabqi and manzil

Recent and long-term revision tracked separately, because they are separate disciplines and a student can be strong at one and weak at the other.

Progress across the syllabus

Where a student is, how they got there and how the pace compares with the halqa.

Quality, not just quantity

How well a portion was recited, not only that it was, which is the judgement a teacher actually makes.

Reports for families

Parents see genuine progress rather than a mark out of a hundred that describes nothing.

Continuity

A student moving halqa, or a teacher leaving, without the record leaving with them.

Attendance in the halqa

Recorded alongside the memorisation, because presence and progress are the same conversation here.

Institutional view

Progress across halqas, which is how a madrasa knows whether its teaching is working.

The cases most systems get wrong

Hifz as a subject with a mark. General school software has no concept of sabaq or manzil, so schools record memorisation as a percentage. That number tells a parent nothing and a teacher less.

The record in the teacher's notebook. The real detail lives with the ustadh. When they move on, the school loses years of knowledge about where every student actually is.

Revision counted as new memorisation. Sabqi and manzil are not sabaq. A system that adds them together reports a student as further ahead than they are.

The student who changes halqa. Moving group should not reset their history, but it does when the record is per-teacher rather than per-student.

These are the cases worth testing in a demo. Bring the messiest one you have.

Who touches it, and what they see

The same records, presented differently depending on the job.

The ustadh

Records daily sabaq, sabqi and manzil for their own halqa, with quality alongside quantity.

Families

See genuine progress through the syllabus rather than a mark that means nothing to them.

Students

See their own progress and what is due for revision.

The administration

Progress across halqas, and whether a group has fallen behind, without asking each teacher.

What it shares records with

A hifz student is a student, so the halqa record attaches to the same person the rest of the institution knows - their attendance, their fees, their academic record where the school also teaches a general curriculum.

Halqa attendance sits alongside class attendance. Progress reports reach families through the portal they already use. A student who moves halqa keeps their history.

That is what makes it a module rather than a separate register that happens to be in the same building.

Questions we get asked

Do you actually track sabaq, sabqi and manzil separately?
Yes, as three distinct records, because they are three distinct disciplines. A student can be strong on new memorisation and weak on long-term revision, and a system that adds them together hides exactly the thing a teacher needs to see.
Is this a subject in the gradebook or a real hifz module?
A real module. General school software records memorisation as a mark out of a hundred, which describes none of what happens in a halqa. This works the way the teaching works.
Can we record quality as well as quantity?
Yes. How well a portion was recited, not only that it was, because that is the judgement the ustadh is actually making each day.
What happens when a student changes halqa?
Their history follows them. The record belongs to the student rather than to the teacher, which is also why it survives when an ustadh moves on.
Can parents see genuine progress?
Yes - where their child is in the syllabus and how revision is going, rather than a percentage that tells them nothing.
Can we run hifz alongside a general curriculum?
Yes. A hifz student is a student, so the halqa record sits with their class attendance, fees and academic record rather than in a separate system.
