The Challenge
Donors gave through platforms that understood the payment but not the practice around it. Zakat is an obligation calculated against income, savings and assets, so most donors estimated it or worked it out separately before finding somewhere to give, while the daily utilities they use sat across several unrelated apps.
Obligation worked out before finding anywhere to give.
Donors approximating rather than computing accurately.
Daily practice spread across unrelated apps.
Charity disconnected from the practice motivating it.
Approach & Solution
smartData built the app on Laravel and MySQL with native Android and iOS clients. A dynamic Zakat calculator estimates the obligation from income, savings and assets, then routes directly into live fundraising campaigns, so the calculation and its fulfilment sit in the same place rather than in separate tools.
Payment integration covers secure, compliant transactions with donation history, campaign tracking and recurring giving. Prayer times adjust across time zones using location and the Islamic calendar, Qur'an audio streams with caching, and the interface was optimised for lower-end devices.
Key Features
Obligation computed from income, savings and assets.

Final Outcome
Donors calculate what they owe and fulfil it without leaving the app, and the daily utilities that bring them back mean giving happens as part of practice rather than as an occasional separate transaction.
