- If you have the Madrasah Admin rights, move on to Madrasah Module. Find a checklist on our knowledge base portal. Consult with Imam\Scholar of Masjid as the whole Madrasah module requires little more efforts to setup, but all we need to get going is, from Madrasah Module add Class & Subjects Details offered by Madrasah. Add them so users who visit the Introduction page under Madrasah can see these details.
Now its time to announce your Masjid App to Congregants.
