Frequently asked questions
What is Waqar?
Section titled “What is Waqar?”Waqar is a bilingual web application for Quran-school operations. It supports schools, staff, halqas, students, attendance, recitations, progress, optional Learning Plans, parent visibility, reports, notifications, and controlled API integrations.
Does Waqar support Arabic and English?
Section titled “Does Waqar support Arabic and English?”Yes. The application and this wiki support Arabic right-to-left presentation and English left-to-right presentation. Use the language control to switch. Names and content entered by a school are shown as entered.
Why do I see a different home page from another user?
Section titled “Why do I see a different home page from another user?”Navigation follows your role, active school, available features, and record relationships. A school administrator, sheikh, and parent have different workspaces. See the role and permission reference.
Can one account belong to more than one school?
Section titled “Can one account belong to more than one school?”Yes, when each school has granted a membership or parent link. Select the correct school before working. A membership in one school never grants access to another school’s records.
Why is a feature or action missing?
Section titled “Why is a feature or action missing?”The usual causes are role permission, the selected school, assignment or parent link, record status, feature configuration, plan availability, a capacity limit, or controlled rollout. Follow feature availability and permission troubleshooting.
Can I edit a session after ending it?
Section titled “Can I edit a session after ending it?”Ending a session locks the normal teaching record. Review attendance and recitations first. If a correction is necessary, use the school’s authorized correction process rather than starting a duplicate session. See end a session.
Are Learning Plans required?
Section titled “Are Learning Plans required?”No. Learning Plans are optional and must be enabled and configured by the school. Daily attendance and recitation work can operate without them. Start with the Learning Plans overview.
What can parents see?
Section titled “What can parents see?”A parent sees only linked children and parent-visible records. For Learning Plans, only eligible active published work is shown when the school enables parent visibility. Drafts, private staff notes, and internal planning details are excluded. Read parent visibility and privacy.
Which reports can I download?
Section titled “Which reports can I download?”The available report and format depend on your role, the report, and the school’s enabled features. Supported outputs can include PDF, CSV, or XLSX. Check exports and downloads before sharing a file.
Does Waqar have a public API?
Section titled “Does Waqar have a public API?”Waqar provides a controlled school integration API. Access requires an eligible school, enabled API access, an active school-issued key, the required scopes, rollout eligibility, and available quota. Begin with the API overview.
Does API read access allow writing?
Section titled “Does API read access allow writing?”No. Write access is independent, default-off, and requires explicit feature enablement and separate rollout eligibility. Each operation also requires its documented scope and, for writes, an idempotency key where specified.
Does Waqar send WhatsApp notifications?
Section titled “Does Waqar send WhatsApp notifications?”No working WhatsApp delivery channel is currently released. Do not promise WhatsApp delivery based on an old label or entitlement. Use the notification channels actually displayed in the application.
Does custom branding include a custom domain?
Section titled “Does custom branding include a custom domain?”No. Current custom branding means the supported school-logo treatment in approved views. It does not mean full white-labeling or a school-owned domain.
What should I include in a support request?
Section titled “What should I include in a support request?”Include your role, the affected page, the action you attempted, the approximate time, and the visible message. A screenshot is useful after hiding learner and account details. Never send passwords, session cookies, recovery or invitation links, or API keys.
