How to Run a High-Performing Weekend Islamic School
September 15, 2025
Weekend Islamic schools play a vital role in shaping Muslim children’s character, identity, and community connection. Most Muslim kids attend public schools, so the weekend program often becomes the heartbeat of faith and values education.
Recently, WISER (Consultants for Islamic School Excellence) and Masjid Solutions teamed up for a webinar to share proven strategies and demonstrate how the IQRA School Management System makes running a weekend school smoother, smarter, and more impactful.

🌙 Start with a Clear Mission
As WISER highlighted, weekend schools aren’t just about academics. They are where:
✔️ Hearts are nourished through Qur’an and prophetic stories
✔️ Character is modeled by teachers practicing patience, gratitude, and integrity
✔️ Community is built so students feel confident and connected
✔️ Wellness is prioritized so educators and parents can sustain the work
⚡ Fix the 3 Biggest Bottlenecks (with IQRA School Management System)
📝 Registration Chaos
Paper forms, WhatsApp lists, and spreadsheets create stress and errors.
💰 Tuition Leakage
Cash, checks, and untracked promises cause lost revenue and frustration.
📢 Communication Gaps
Parents miss urgent updates because contact info is scattered across emails and papers.
👉 IQRA School Management System solves all three with one unified platform.
🖥️ Dashboards That Work for Everyone
👨💼 Admin Dashboard – organize classes, enrollments, finances, and attendance in one view.
👩🏫 Teacher Dashboard – take attendance in <1 min, post class notes, upload lesson plans, and communicate with parents.
👨👩👧 Parent Dashboard – track attendance, pay fees online, and receive instant updates.
🔁 Re-enrollment is effortless: parents log in, verify details, and complete in just minutes.
📊 Measure What Matters (Masjid Solutions Case Study)
One weekend school with 50 students @ $70/month:
✔️ Before IQRA → 65% collection = $2,275/month
✔️ After IQRA → 95% collection = $3,325/month
✔️ +$1,050 per month gained without raising tuition!
💡 The platform costs only $1.25 per student/month. Most schools simply add a small “tech fee” to cover it. The result? Higher revenue, better trust, and more resources to pay teachers and expand programs.
