IlmFlow, madrasa management software
About IlmFlow

Made for Islamic schools, not adapted from generic software

IlmFlow exists because madrasahs were being asked to choose between paper registers and school systems that had never heard of Sabak, Dhor or Juz 30.

Nearly every madrasah in the country runs the same way: a register in a book, fees in a spreadsheet, and parents in a WhatsApp group. It works, right up until it does not. A teacher leaves and a year of Hifz progress leaves with them. Nobody notices a child has quietly stopped coming. One volunteer ends up holding the whole thing together on their evenings.

The software that exists is mostly built for mainstream secular schools. It can track a maths grade but has no idea what Sabak Para is, no concept of Juz 30, and no way to record that a child passed their fourth dua. So madrasahs bend a generic tool to fit, or go back to the notebook.

IlmFlow started from the opposite end: the register, the Hifz log and the dua record first, then everything a madrasah needs around them. It is built in the UK, it handles UK payroll properly, and every madrasah’s data stays private to that madrasah.

Why IlmFlow

What makes it different

Hifz tracked the way it is taught

Sabak, Sabak Para and Dhor logged daily per student, each with juz, portion, mistakes and quality, not one vague progress box. Maktab classes get Juz-30 surah and dua tracking that carries year to year, even when the teacher changes.

It pays your teachers too

PAYE, National Insurance, pensions, payslips, P60s and P45s for your staff, in the same system as the register. We checked the published feature list of every UK madrasah platform we could find and not one of them offers payroll, so most madrasahs run it separately.

Your fee money never touches us

It goes from the parent’s card straight into your madrasah’s own bank account, through your own Stripe account (Stripe is the card company that moves it). Whatever card rate you agree with Stripe is what you pay, and IlmFlow adds nothing on top. Cash and bank transfer carry on exactly as before. Our own price is public: 25p per active student a month, £15 minimum, no tiers.

Getting started

How we set you up

We do the boring part. You should be taking a register, not doing data entry.

  1. You send us your student list
    Any spreadsheet, however messy. We do the importing, you do not retype anything.
  2. We set up your classes with you
    Class structure, teachers, term dates and holidays, on a call, together.
  3. You take your first register
    Usually the same week. Parents get their portal invitations automatically.
  4. We stay on the end of a message
    Founding madrasahs get a direct line to the founder, not a ticket queue.
I built IlmFlow because I kept seeing the same thing: a register in a book, fees in a spreadsheet, and one volunteer holding it all together on their evenings. Then a teacher leaves, and a year of Hifz progress leaves with them. Every part of it comes from how madrasahs actually work, and when you join, I set you up myself.

Founder, IlmFlow

IlmFlow is a small operation, so you should ask what happens if I stop. Here is the answer. Your fee income goes into your own bank and never through us, so it is unaffected either way. You can export every record you hold, at any time, without asking me first. And if IlmFlow ever had to close, you would get at least 90 days’ notice with exports working throughout. I would rather say that now than have you find out later that I had never thought about it.

A few madrasahs are live on IlmFlow now and we are onboarding more. We are not naming them here, because that is their decision and not ours, and you will not find invented customer numbers or made-up reviews anywhere on this site. What we can show you is the product itself. A 20-minute demo usually answers everything.
