Muslim Pro App Supports Palestinian Relief Through User-Driven Initiatives
The Muslim prayer and Quran app has mobilized its global community of over 170 million users to support Palestinian relief efforts, raising nearly half a million dollars through an in-app donation campaign.
Muslim Pro App Users Unite for Humanitarian Cause
In late 2023, following the escalation of conflict between Palestine and Israel, Muslim Pro partnered with the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund to launch a fundraising initiative. The campaign, initially planned for two weeks, saw extraordinary engagement from the app’s user community.
“We put it up on a Friday evening in our app. By the end of the weekend we had raised $200,000 US dollars from our users,” says Nafees Khundker, CEO and group managing director. “These are not like someone gave $10,000, someone gave $1,000. These are users from all over the world starting from $2 to $50, $100 type transactions.”
The funds were directed specifically toward providing food, medical aid, and education for children affected by the crisis. The campaign’s success demonstrates the powerful community that has formed around the app and the trust users place in the platform.
Beyond Fundraising: Muslim Pro App Amplifies Palestinian Voices
In addition to financial support, the Muslim Pro team has focused on highlighting Palestinian experiences and cultural heritage. “We didn’t want to just talk about it and add fuel to the fire. We wanted to concentrate more on the stories of the resilience in that part of the world,” Khundker explains.
The app featured interviews with key figures, including the Palestinian ambassador to Malaysia, who shared personal perspectives on the situation. Muslim Pro also symbolically changed its app icon to incorporate watermelon colors—green, white, red, and black—representing the Palestinian flag.
These efforts reflect the app’s evolution from a simple prayer time tracker to a platform that addresses issues important to the global Muslim community.
With its focus on community support and cultural awareness, Muslim Pro continues to demonstrate how faith-based applications can facilitate meaningful humanitarian action while fostering a sense of global solidarity among users united by their shared faith.
