What is Ustaz Finder?

The idea to create this one-stop platform for Islamic services all began after hearing our friends and families’ struggle to find an Ustaz/Ustazah for specific services. Because we know that it’s not easy to find the right Astizah for the services you need, we decided to solve this crucial, yet unaddressed problem. Our aim is to provide easy and accessible services to our Muslim community through tech solutions, whilst empowering the Asatizah community and dignifying their Islamic dakwah process in Singapore.

How to book for an Asatizah service?

You can book for a service on our website, under ‘Our Services’ section. You may also browse through our Found Asatizah and book them based on the services they provide and their availability. Please note that you will need to sign up in order to complete the booking.

Are all the Asatizah ARS Certified?

Yes, all Asatizahs registered on our platform are QTRS or ARS certified! You will be able to see their qualifications and ARS status by cliking the ‘Our Asatizah’ section on top.

Is Ustaz Finder mainly for Ustaz (a male religious teacher)?

Contrary to its name, Ustaz Finder is a platform for both Ustaz and Ustazah (a female religious teacher)! See our list of found Asatizah!
