Stop chasing members.
Shart — the annual mosque contribution — is still often collected via paper and WhatsApp. One member forgets, another waits for the payment request. With Khutba World: tiers per category, automatic reminders via 3 channels, and payment via iDEAL, bank transfer, or cash. The board sees in real-time who still has an outstanding balance.
Shart is what many mosques in the Netherlands call their annual membership contribution — often an amount per family, per adult, per student. Not religiously obligatory, but essential for keeping the mosque running: rent, maintenance, imam compensation, utilities.
The reality is that many mosques handle this the same way year after year. A treasurer with a notebook or an Excel file on his laptop. A WhatsApp group where a reminder appears every month. Payment request links that get lost in group chats. Cash amounts that come in but aren't clearly recorded.
It works — usually. But it's fragile. When the treasurer changes, most of the knowledge goes with them. If the Excel file disappears, everything is gone. On average, 15 to 25% of contributions remain unpaid for a year — not out of unwillingness, but out of chaos.
With Khutba World, you put shart into a real system. Set up tiers (Adult €120, Family €200, Student €40, 65+ €60). Generate a row for each member for the entire year with one click. The system automatically sends reminders via push, email, and WhatsApp according to your own schedule. Members pay wherever they want: online via iDEAL, via bank transfer/IBAN, or cash to the board. Every payment delivers the same confirmation email with PDF receipt (tax-deductible via ANBI), a push notification, and automatic active membership for that year.
Four core functions that make the difference
The board sees in real-time who has paid, who still has outstanding balances, and who received how many reminders. Members see their own status and payment options.
Tiers per category
Adult, family, student, 65+ — set them up yourself with custom prices. The board assigns a tier per member. Can always be changed. No limit on number of tiers per mosque.
Reminders × 3 channels
Push, email, and WhatsApp — all automatic. Set it yourself: how often (default 30-day interval), maximum number (default 3×), and which channels are on. Stop immediately after payment.
3 payment methods
iDEAL/card (online via Stripe), bank transfer or IBAN (external), or cash to the board. All equal in flow — same confirmation, same receipt, same administration.
PDF receipt + ANBI
Every payment automatically generates a PDF receipt with mosque logo, ANBI number, and the line "tax deductible". Members keep it for administration or tax returns.
For the board: real-time, without Excel
In the dashboard you see per year what has come in and what's outstanding. Click on a member for details, mark cash with one click, archive or forgive what's uncollectible. One source of truth — no more versions, no more "who has the most recent Excel".
For the member: one screen, three choices
In the Khutba World app, each member gets a Shart tab on the mosque page. There they see their status — amount, tier, still to pay or already settled. And three payment buttons that all give the same result. For all three methods, the member receives within seconds a confirmation email with PDF receipt and push notification.
