As Ramadan 2026 approaches, Muslim Pro has introduced Ramadan Re:Charge, a global initiative designed to support sustained engagement with faith through a combination of technology, reflective content, community features, and real-world activations.
The initiative is shaped by a widely observed reality: while intention is often strong at the beginning of the holy month, sustaining momentum can become more challenging as daily responsibilities and fatigue set in. Ramadan Re:Charge prioritises continuity and presence over rigid routines or idealised expectations, supporting faith as it is lived across different rhythms of spiritual practice.
With more than 180 million downloads globally, Muslim Pro continues to see strong participation from its worldwide community across content creation, shared reflection, and cause-driven initiatives, particularly during Ramadan.
“Ramadan Re:Charge reflects how we think about growth — supporting sustained engagement by building trust, relevance, and continuity, rather than focusing on short-term spikes in activity,” said Nafees Khundker, Chief Executive Officer & Group Managing Director of Muslim Pro.
“At Muslim Pro, we don’t question the intention or desire of Muslims to practise their faith, especially during Ramadan. What we recognise is that sustaining that intention over the course of the month can be challenging when people are balancing multiple responsibilities.
“This initiative responds to that reality. It supports faith as it is lived — not through fixed routines or idealised standards — but in ways that are realistic, personal and compassionate. Whether someone is deeply engaged or finding their way back, our role is to provide tools, content and community that help them stay connected, without pressure or comparison. Our role is to remove that pressure and make it clear that faith is not diminished by interruption. Returning, even in small ways, still matters. Progress should be measured by continuity, not perfection.”
A Framework Grounded in Everyday Spiritual Experience
At the heart of Ramadan Re:Charge is a simple insight: sustaining ibadah across a full month is often more challenging than starting strong. Rather than encouraging users to intensify their efforts, the initiative reframes progress as something compassionate and personal.
The campaign is guided by five pillars — Re:Center, Re:Commit, Re:Connect, Re:Share, and Re:Focus — reflecting how spiritual needs shift from day to day while offering a shared language that validates lived experiences during Ramadan 2026.
Supporting Consistent Quran Engagement During Ramadan 2026
The Quran remains one of Muslim Pro’s most-used features globally, particularly during Ramadan. For Ramadan 2026, the Quran experience has been enhanced to support different patterns of engagement, allowing users to read, listen, reflect or memorise at their own pace.
Features such as personalised Khatam goals, verse bookmarks, audio recitations, reflection tools, memorisation support and progress tracking are designed to help users maintain connection without pressure to meet rigid targets. The app also has AiDeen, an AI-powered chatbot created to help users better understand Quranic verses in context.
Expanding Faith-Based Storytelling Through Qalbox
Reflective content continues to play a central role in Muslim Pro’s engagement strategy. During Ramadan 2026, Qalbox, available within the app, will present a curated slate of faith-based programming spanning multiple formats, including micro-series, short-form episodic storytelling, documentaries, children’s content, and longer-form reflective features.
This multi-format approach reflects evolving viewing habits, offering content that fits naturally into different moments of the day while supporting deeper spiritual reflection during the holy month.
The lineup includes Islamic micro-series such as Rise of Mercy and Light of Transit, alongside longer-form works including The Olive Tree That Remembered, developed in collaboration with Restu Foundation. Together, these titles reflect Muslim Pro’s intent to broaden how faith-based stories are experienced, balancing depth with accessibility while expanding the role of digital storytelling within the Ramadan experience.
Strengthening Community Through Shared Expression
Community interaction is further supported through Ummah Pro, Muslim Pro’s global social space, where users can share reflections and participate in a worldwide Ramadan photo-sharing initiative. The programme invites participants to capture everyday moments of Ramadan as they are lived — quietly and meaningfully.
Ten selected participants will receive Badal Umrah prizes, enabling them to honour loved ones through an act of worship performed on their behalf.
Connecting Digital Platforms with Real-World Presence
Ramadan Re:Charge extends beyond the app through offline activations in several key markets, reinforcing Muslim Pro’s approach of linking digital platforms with real-world community presence.
These initiatives are designed to complement the digital experience while fostering shared moments of generosity and connection during the holy month.
A Long-Term View on Engagement Beyond Ramadan
According to the company, Ramadan Re:Charge reflects a broader strategy to support long-term engagement rather than seasonal usage.
“Our objective is for users to form positive habits during Ramadan and beyond using the Muslim Pro app,” Khundker said. “That means investing in communities, content, and experiences that people return to over time.”
Bitsmedia, the company behind the world’s leading Muslim lifestyle app Muslim Pro, has officially joined the global community of certified B Corporations. The certification recognises Bitsmedia’s commitment to building technology that supports and empowers Muslim communities, especially in underserved and remote regions.

The app is also optimised for low-bandwidth environments, making it especially valuable for users in areas with limited digital infrastructure.
“The B Corp certification is an important milestone in our journey. It reflects our belief that faith-tech should be inclusive, purposeful and grounded in service. Every Muslim deserves access to tools that support their Deen, regardless of where they live or what device they use. This recognition validates our mission and encourages us to continue building with intention and responsibility,” said Nafees Khundker, Group Managing Director and CEO of Bitsmedia.

New Ramadan Bundle Provides Families with Affordable Access to Faith-Based Learning and Entertainment
As Ramadan approaches, Muslim families worldwide are turning to digital platforms for faith-based learning and entertainment. Research shows that digital media consumption increases during Ramadan, with families seeking trusted, values-aligned content to enhance their spiritual experience. Additionally, 72% of Muslim parents actively look for Islamic content for their children, reflecting a growing demand for safe, faith-centred digital resources.
Recognising this need, Muslim Pro, the world’s most widely used Islamic lifestyle app, and Durioo+, a leading faith-based children’s streaming service, have partnered to offer an exclusive Ramadan 2025 subscription bundle. This limited-time offer provides at least a 50% discount on premium access to both platforms, allowing families to engage in meaningful Islamic learning and entertainment throughout the holy month.
Making Faith-Based Digital Content More Accessible
With more than 170 million downloads worldwide, Muslim Pro is a trusted companion for Muslims observing Ramadan, offering features such as accurate prayer times, Quran recitations, fasting schedules, Qibla direction, and daily duas. Additionally, its Qalbox video platform provides exclusive Islamic documentaries, lectures and films tailored for a global Muslim audience.

“We understand that parents want more than just entertainment — they want content that nurtures their children’s faith and strengthens family connections during Ramadan,” said Sinan Ismail, Founder and CEO of Durioo. “By collaborating with Muslim Pro, we are making it easier for families to access high-quality, values-driven Islamic content at an affordable price.”
Muslim Pro has long been recognised as one of the best digital companions for Ramadan, helping users stay connected to their faith with prayer trackers, fasting reminders, and Islamic reflections.

As Ramadan 2025 approaches, Muslim Pro, the world’s leading Islamic mobile application, introduces 40 Days of Deen, a transformative initiative designed to help Muslims cultivate sustainable spiritual habits that extend beyond the holy month.
With studies showing that it takes 40 days to develop a habit, this initiative provides structured guidance to support prayer consistency, self-reflection, and community engagement, ensuring a more meaningful and enduring Ramadan experience.
“Ramadan is a time for spiritual renewal, but the real challenge is sustaining these good habits beyond the month,” said Nafees Khundker, Managing Director and CEO of Muslim Pro. “With ‘40 Days of Deen’ we aim to support the Muslim Pro community in forming lifelong habits that integrate faith into their daily routines.”
Encouraging Pre-Ramadan Preparation for a Meaningful Journey
For many Muslims, preparation for Ramadan begins months in advance. The months of Rejab and Syaaban serve as a period of spiritual cleansing and readiness, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). In alignment with these traditions, Muslim Pro encourages users to start building positive habits early, allowing them to enter Ramadan with a stronger spiritual foundation.
To assist in this journey, Muslim Pro is offering two exclusive masterclasses designed to enhance worship practices:
- The Art of Khushu: Perfecting Your Salah (Facilitated by Imam Muhammad Abdullah, Director of Outreach and Youth at Al-Hedayah Academy
- The Rewards of Ramadan: Perfecting Your Worship (Facilitated by Sheikh Ali Nageh, Ulum Al-Azhar Academy)
Each course is available for USD2.99, providing Muslim Pro users with practical guidance on refining their prayers, fasting and overall Ramadan experience.
Integrating Faith and Technology for a More Meaningful Ramadan
Muslim Pro is ensuring that technology enhances, rather than distracts from, spiritual growth. With this in mind, the “40 Days of Deen” initiative introduces features designed to promote mindfulness, self-reflection and structured spiritual development throughout Ramadan.
A key feature is the Journal, which allows users to track their spiritual progress through mood logs, fasting and prayer tracking, Sunnah Acts Checklist and picture journaling. This helps users reflect on their daily ibadah, recognize areas for improvement and maintain consistency in their religious commitments.
For those seeking a more mindful approach to worship, Deen Mode provides a personalized countdown for key moments such as Iftar, Qiyam and Fajr. This feature helps users transition smoothly between daily activities and acts of worship, with gentle Wind-Down and Wake-Up reminders that incorporate Quranic recitations, du’as, dhikr and exclusive Ramadan podcasts. By seamlessly integrating faith into daily routines, Deen Mode encourages a more centered and spiritually fulfilling Ramadan experience.
Beyond individual worship, Muslim Pro recognizes the importance of community support in strengthening one’s faith. The app’s enhanced Community Feature, Ummah Pro, expands on its existing Prayer Request function, allowing Muslim Pros users to engage with fellow Muslims globally, share prayers and offer words of encouragement to those on a similar spiritual path. This digital space fosters a sense of unity and collective devotion, reinforcing the idea that Ramadan is not just a personal journey, but a shared experience that brings Muslims together.
A Holistic Ramadan Experience with Qalbox
Beyond individual practice, Ramadan is a time of learning, storytelling, and communal reflection. To complement 40 Days of Deen, Qalbox by Muslim Pro presents a curated selection of inspirational Ramadan content, blending faith, history, and spirituality to deepen the Ramadan experience.
Titles such as Maulana’s Reflections Season 2 explore timeless lessons from Prophetic traditions, while My First Ramadan shares heartfelt experiences of new reverts observing their first fasts, offering a mix of inspiration and education for viewers of all backgrounds.
From thought-provoking documentaries to interactive children’s programs and live-streamed Taraweeh prayers, Qalbox ensures that Ramadan’s spiritual lessons extend into homes, enriching both personal and family experiences.
A Digital Companion for Malaysian Muslims During Ramadan
Muslim Pro ensures that ‘40 Days of Deen’ aligns with the evolving needs of tech-savvy Muslim users. The initiative is designed to enhance Ramadan observance by integrating faith with accessible, user-friendly technology.
“Muslim Pro is more than just an app — it’s a trusted companion for every Muslim’s spiritual journey,” added Khundker. “With digital tools becoming a significant part of religious life globally, we are committed to ensuring that technology strengthens faith rather than distracts from it.”
Users can now book customizable Umrah trips safely and securely on the Muslim Pro app, offering a seamless alternative to traditional travel agencies.
Singapore, 23 October 2024 – Muslim Pro, the world’s leading Muslim lifestyle app with over 170 million downloads, has joined forces with Umrahme, a NUSUK-accredited platform, to launch an online Umrah booking service. This new feature allows users to customize every aspect of their Umrah journey, directly through the Muslim Pro app, providing a modern, tech-driven alternative to traditional agency-led packages.
A First for Asia Pacific (APAC) Pilgrims
Historically, Muslims in the Asia Pacific region have relied on physical travel agents to book their Umrah, a process that often required significant time and coordination. With this new service, pilgrims can bypass intermediaries, making direct bookings through a secure, user-friendly digital platform. Whether users prefer fully guided tours or a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach, the services provided by Muslim Pro through their partnership with Umrahme — a NUSUK-accredited platform— are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern Muslims.
The service’s introduction is part of a global trend towards digital pilgrimage planning. In 2023, over 26 million pilgrims performed Umrah, many leveraging digital tools to simplify their travel. By incorporating Umrahme’s offerings, Muslim Pro further solidifies its role as a leader in providing tech-enabled solutions that align with the evolving lifestyle needs of Muslims across the globe.
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
This service aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, emphasizing innovation and digital transformation to enhance the Umrah experiences. By simplifying Umrah logistics through mobile technology, the collaboration between Muslim Pro and Umrahme supports the Kingdom’s goal to make the pilgrimage more accessible for Muslims worldwide. The service particularly appeals to younger, tech-savvy pilgrims who prefer independent, customizable travel experiences.
Commenting on the partnership, Mohammed M S Binmahfouz, Founder and CEO of Umrahme, said: “As tech-savvy travelers increasingly adopt a DIY approach to Umrah, our partnership with Muslim Pro is revolutionizing the pilgrimage experience. Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, we are committed to enriching the entire journey by offering dynamic, customizable packages that empower pilgrims to explore both the spiritual and cultural wonders of Saudi Arabia. Through continuous innovation and new product development, we’re supporting Vision 2030’s goal of transforming Saudi Arabia into a global hub for religious and cultural experiences.”
Key Benefits of Umrah by Muslim Pro:
- Customizable Packages: Plan every aspect of your pilgrimage from your smartphone, including selecting accommodations and tours to sacred sites in Makkah and Madinah. Local transport solutions and visa bookings will be integrated soon, providing even greater flexibility for users.
- Direct & Secure Bookings: Enjoy peace of mind with safe, instant bookings directly through the app, eliminating the need for traditional travel agency visits, and giving pilgrims full control over their pilgrimage planning.
This new service is especially appealing to younger Muslims, who are increasingly using technology to independently manage their religious journeys. As DIY Umrah gains traction, Muslim Pro continues to lead the way in offering digital solutions that fit the modern lifestyle of Muslims globally.
“Our partnership with Umrahme is a transformative step in how Muslims plan one of the most important spiritual journeys of their lives,” said Nafees Khundker, Group Managing Director and CEO at Muslim Pro. “By embracing mobile technology, we’re empowering millions of Muslims globally to plan their pilgrimage with ease and focus on the spiritual fulfillment of their Umrah.”

In a groundbreaking partnership, Muslim Pro, the world’s leading Muslim lifestyle mobile app, and Qurbani Pro, a pioneer in logistics for religious obligations, are joining forces to revolutionise the Qurban experience this Eid al-Adha. This collaboration, aiming to reach underprivileged communities such as Yemen, Somalia, Ghana, Syria, and Rohingya, is not just about logistics but about making a significant and heartfelt impact where it is most needed. Your participation is crucial in this global endeavour.
Muslim Pro, with its extensive global user base, and Qurbani Pro, known for its seamless logistics solutions, are coming together to ensure that every Qurban is carried out smoothly, from selection to distribution. This partnership is designed to make it easier for Muslims worldwide to fulfil their religious duties, providing reassurance that every step is managed with precision and care, while making a real difference in the lives of the underprivileged.
Qurban, an essential aspect of Eid al-Adha, involves the slaughtering of an animal to share the meat with those in need. Despite the significance of this ritual, many Muslims face challenges in performing Qurban due to logistical and geographical barriers.
“At Muslim Pro, we are always looking for ways to serve our community better,” said Ahteram Uddin, Chief Business Officer of Muslim Pro. “Partnering with Qurbani Pro allows us to combine our digital reach with their logistical expertise, creating a more accessible and impactful Qurban process. Together, we ensure no community is overlooked, and every act of Qurban reaches those who need it the most.”
The synergy between Muslim Pro’s vast user base and Qurbani Pro’s logistical prowess promises a seamless and enriched Qurban experience. Users can now perform their Qurban with the assurance that every step is managed with precision and care, ultimately benefiting those in dire need.
The World Food Programme reported that more than 333 million people worldwide suffer from hunger, highlighting the critical need for effective distribution of Qurban meat to vulnerable populations. By streamlining the Qurban process and ensuring food reaches those who need it most, Muslim Pro and Qurbani Pro contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2.1, which aims for universal access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food all year round.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Muslim Pro,” said Mohamad Shah Reza, co-founder of Qurbani Pro. “This partnership is about more than just logistics; it’s about compassion and reaching out to the less fortunate. By uniting our strengths, we ensure that every Qurban is handled with the utmost respect and efficiency.”
This initiative is set to run until June 17, 2024, ensuring that all preparations and distributions are completed in time for Eid al-Adha. The combined efforts of Muslim Pro and Qurbani Pro aim to create a ripple effect, encouraging more Muslims to participate in Qurban and extend their support to global communities in need.
Through this collaboration, Muslim Pro continues to demonstrate its commitment to evolving with its users’ needs, while Qurbani Pro enhances its mission of combining compassion with commerce. Together, they set a new standard for fulfilling religious obligations in a modern, interconnected world.
