Halaqa turns the recordings your school already makes into a study companion for every student: synced transcripts, Arabic terms in plain English, flashcards, mind maps, audio recaps, and Rafiq AI, which answers only from your cohort's own material and cites the minute.
“I listened to the whole lecture again just to find the line about qiyas.”
Upload the lecture. Nothing else to prepare. Every student in the cohort gets:
The transcript scrolls with the video, with speaker separation. Chapters jump to any point in a two-hour class.
Every technical term with the Arabic script, the transliteration, a plain-English meaning as the teacher used it, and a link to hear it in context.
Written from the lecture itself. Difficult terms flow into a spaced-repetition queue that brings back what you are about to forget.
The shape of the whole lecture at a glance. Every node jumps the video to where it was discussed.
Two hosts review each lecture for the commute. Arabic phrases are read by a native Arabic voice, not an English accent.
Scanned Arabic texts are recognised and translated page by page, with the Arabic and English side by side and search across both.
Ask Rafiq anything about the lectures and texts. It answers only from your cohort's transcribed lectures, course texts, curated resources and your own notes, and every claim carries a citation: a lecture and a timestamp, or a text and a page. Click it and the video jumps there. If it is not in the material, Rafiq says so.
Students vote on what needs a live session, schedule it, and let Rafiq draft a time-boxed study plan from the voted topics. The call runs in the browser with voice, video, screen share, a shared whiteboard and shared playback of any lecture. Attendance and a summary follow.
A funnel, not a form. A student raises a topic, classmates vote that they are stuck too, notes are logged, a call is held. Only then does the question reach the teacher, as one prepared message with the whole record attached.
Photograph paper notes and the handwriting is recognised and summarised. Write or draw on a tablet. Import Notion, Zoom, Evernote, Word or PDF. Private unless you share it with the cohort.
Halaqa installs from this site on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac in a few seconds, with no app store account, and updates itself. Phones get a bottom tab bar and notifications for new lectures, Halaqa calls and answers. Tablets get a sketch pad with pen pressure and palm rejection. Share a photo or a PDF from any app straight into your notebook.
Everything runs in our own private Azure tenant in the United States. Each school is a separate tenant, and the cohort is the unit of privacy: every read is filtered by school and cohort on the server, so nothing crosses cohorts, even inside one school.
Search, Rafiq and every page carry the school and cohort. A student in one cohort cannot see another's lectures, notes or questions.
A private notebook or chat never reaches another student's search or Rafiq answers. Leaders can remove a shared note but cannot read a private one.
Language, speech and document models run inside the same tenant under enterprise terms. Your lectures, prompts and answers are not training data.
Page views, plays, searches and admin actions are written to a two-year audit trail the school can see. Nothing is sold, shared or used for advertising.
Students can start free. Schools pay one monthly fee and every student in their cohorts is covered.
Everything your cohort uploads, with a monthly Rafiq allowance.
The full study companion for one student.
When the cohort's seats are funded, everyone in it gets:
AI credits: $5 per million tokens, never expire. Instructors, cohort leaders and coordinators always have the full plan at no cost. Billing is handled by a merchant of record; Halaqa never sees card details.
Every student on the full plan, with the console.
The whole school, every cohort, your branding.
For institutions with a written data agreement.
Pay monthly, cancel any time. Annual billing: two months free. Extra students beyond the cap: $6 per student per month. The school pays and every student in its cohorts is covered; student plans do not apply while a school plan is active.
One click creates a space of one. Upload the classes you attend or the texts you are reading, and you get everything: transcripts, guides, glossary, flashcards, review, notebook and Rafiq. Nothing you add is visible to anyone else.
Study on my ownTell us the school, the program and the first cohort. We create your page, invite your coordinators and instructors, and the recordings you already have are studyable within the hour. The first Halaqa call usually happens in week two.
Recordings, texts, and resources on this platform are uploaded by students for their own study and shared only within their cohort. Uploaders confirm they have the right to share them.
