About Mahall
Mahall helps mahall committees in India manage families, members, monthly fees (പിരിവ്), donations, announcements, savings circles, marriage certificates, staff payroll and more — free, multilingual, and works on any device.
Mahall, Mahal, or Mahallu?
A mahall is the community of families attached to a mosque — the unit that collects the monthly pirivu, runs the madrasa, keeps the marriage register and maintains the mosque itself. The word is transliterated several ways: mahallu (മഹല്ല്) in Kerala, mahal across much of North India, and jamath is the equivalent body in Tamil Nadu. People searching for this software type all of those spellings. They all lead here — the product is spelled Mahall, and there is only one of it.
Who builds it
Mahall is built by Asharudheen, an independent software developer in Kerala, India. It started because mahall committees were running their entire membership, collection and accounts on paper registers, WhatsApp groups and one volunteer's Excel file — and losing all of it whenever the office bearers changed. The product is developed and supported directly, not resold through agents, and committees can reach the developer at [email protected].
Where it is used
Mahall is built for India and used by committees across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Every screen works in English, Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi, so a committee does not have to pick one language for everyone.
Common questions
Is my mosque data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every mosque is fully isolated — one mahall committee can never see another mahall’s members, donations or accounts. Access inside a mosque is controlled by roles, so a viewer cannot edit records and an accountant cannot change committee settings.
What languages does Mahall support?
Mahall works in English, Malayalam (മലയാളം), Tamil (தமிழ்) and Hindi (हिन्दी). Every screen is translated, not just the menus, and each user can switch language independently from Settings — so the secretary can work in Malayalam while the treasurer works in English.
Is it spelled Mahall, Mahal, or Mahallu?
All three refer to the same thing — the mosque-centred community unit — and people search for the app as “Mahall app”, “Mahal app” and “Mahallu app” interchangeably. The product is spelled Mahall. In Kerala the unit is usually written mahallu (മഹല്ല്), in Tamil Nadu the equivalent body is the jamath, and across North India it is commonly written mahal. Whichever spelling you searched for, this is the same application.
