Where your Premium goes.
30% of every subscription returns to the ummah: free Premium for those who cannot pay, support for new Muslims and vetted charities, with 10% going to masjids and people in need.
This page is where we show it. The figures below are counted from the app's own records. Payouts are added here by hand as they are made. Where there is nothing to show yet, we say so.
Of every Premium payment
Three parts, one intention.
The same allocation we publish on the support page. Most of each payment keeps Barakah Life running; the rest returns to the ummah.
Build and operate Barakah Life
App stores, servers, AI usage, maps, audio, development, support, and reaching Muslims who have not found Barakah Life yet.
Sponsored access and outreach
Free Premium seats, new Muslim work, and carefully selected charity partners.
Mosques and people in need
Reserved for masajid and direct help, with allocation updates published for accountability.
Counted from the app
What members have given one another.
When a member sponsors someone's Premium in the Noor Bazaar, adds to the Sadaqah of light pool, or buys Premium as a gift, the app records it. These figures are that record. They are members' own sadaqah, given through Barakah Life; our own share is reported under Payouts below.
Payouts
What has gone out, and to whom.
Each payment from Barakah Life to a masjid, a charity, new-Muslim support or someone in need, listed as it is made. Amounts are shown in the currency they were paid in, never converted.
No payouts are listed yet.
The first payout report will be published here: who received it, what kind of work it supports, the amount, and a receipt or the recipient's own page where there is one.
For those who cannot pay
How free Premium reaches people.
No one is asked for proof or to explain their finances. There are three ways it happens today.
Ask us directly
Write to support@barakah.life with the subject "Premium access, if possible". A person reads every email.
Ask in the app
On the Wallet screen, apply for a sponsored month. After a 7-day wait you join the queue, and the next sponsored month goes to the person who has waited longest.
A member sponsors you
Members can sponsor a month of Premium for the next person waiting, or add a little to the Sadaqah of light pool, which becomes a sponsored month when it fills. Anonymous both ways.
How we count
Every figure, and where it comes from.
Nothing on this page is estimated. If a figure cannot be counted, it is left out.
- Sponsored months
- Each month a member sponsors is recorded when they give it. It is counted here once it has reached a person who asked for help. A month given while no one is waiting is counted separately until it reaches someone.
- Sadaqah of light
- Small amounts members add to the shared pool. Each time the pool fills, it becomes one sponsored month, delivered the same way.
- People
- Counted by account, never by name. When someone deletes their account, they leave these counts. The months they received stay counted, because they were given.
- Gifts
- Every Premium gift bought in the app, less any refunded before it was used. A gift counts as redeemed once the person it was given to has used its code.
- Not counted yet
- Free Premium we give by hand when someone writes to us. Those are recorded one at a time with a written note, which we cannot count honestly, so they are left out rather than estimated.
- Freshness
- The figures are read from the database at most once an hour. Payouts appear as soon as they are entered.
