Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about eligibility, member offers, staff responsibilities, and what happens after you apply.

What Is The Barakah Program?

Barakah is a community loyalty program that connects participating businesses with Barakah members. Businesses provide members with an exclusive discount or special offer, while the program helps generate ongoing support for youth programs and community development through Sadaqah Jariyah.

What Are The Benefits Of Joining Barakah?

Participating businesses can receive:

  • A business profile on the Barakah website
  • Increased exposure to Barakah members and local families
  • Promotion through Barakah's marketing and community channels
  • Recognition as a business that supports youth and the community
  • Opportunities to attract new and returning customers

Barakah is designed as a win-win: members receive meaningful benefits, businesses gain exposure, and youth programs receive ongoing support.

How Much Does It Cost For A Business To Join?

There is no cost to join. We ask participating businesses to offer Barakah members a discount or special offer. Donations to the CYD Center to support youth programs are always welcome.

What Kind Of Offer Does My Business Need To Provide?

Your offer can be designed around what works sustainably for your business. Examples include:

  • A percentage discount
  • A fixed-dollar discount
  • A first-visit offer
  • A buy-one-get-one promotion
  • A complimentary item or service
  • A special bundle
  • An online promotional code

The offer should provide genuine value to Barakah members without placing an unreasonable burden on your business.

Can I Place Conditions Or Exclusions On My Offer?

Yes. You may establish reasonable conditions, such as minimum purchase requirements, eligible products, specific days, slow-hour promotions, catering exclusions, or exclusions during certain periods. All terms must be clearly communicated and consistently honoured by your staff.

Can I Change My Offer Later?

Yes. Email info@joinbarakah.com before making a change so your website profile and promotional materials remain accurate. Changes are normally implemented within two to three business days.

How Do Barakah Members Redeem The Offer?

Members present their physical or digital Barakah identification when making a purchase. Your staff confirms their membership and applies the offer according to the terms listed on your Barakah business profile.

What Is My Business Responsible For After Joining?

The business owner or manager is responsible for ensuring employees understand what the Barakah tag looks like, the offer provided, how it is redeemed, any conditions or exclusions, and who to contact with questions. Keeping staff informed is essential so Barakah members are not refused or given conflicting information.

Is Barakah Guaranteed To Bring New Customers?

Barakah cannot guarantee a specific number of customers or sales. However, participating businesses receive additional visibility through the Barakah website, member network, tag QR code, and community marketing. The program helps members discover businesses while building awareness and goodwill over time.

Can An Online Or Service-Based Business Participate?

Yes. Online stores, professionals, and service-based businesses may apply when they have a clearly defined member benefit. At present, Barakah offers are redeemed in store; online and third-party app redemption are not yet available.

What Information Is Needed To Register?

Businesses will generally be asked to provide business name and information, a logo and business photos, the details and conditions of the Barakah offer, and owner or authorized representative information.

Are There Restrictions On Participating Businesses?

Businesses must follow Islamic guidelines in their practice and trade. Products must be compliant with Islamic law and cannot contain prohibited components, including pork, alcohol, or non-halal meat. A specialized CYD committee reviews submitted applications and confirms with businesses once approved.

What Happens After I Submit The Form?

Our team reviews your application and contacts you once approved to welcome you into the Barakah family and schedule delivery of the Barakah business kit.

What If A Member Orders Through A Third-Party App?

Barakah offers are currently applicable in store only. Offers cannot be applied to online orders or through third-party apps at this time.

How Does My Business Join?

Businesses can learn more and submit their information through joinbarakah.com. Questions can be sent to info@joinbarakah.com.

How Are Barakah Contributions Spent?

Barakah contributions help keep the lights on by covering operational expenses that allow the CYD Center to continue providing regular services to the community.

What If A Customer Does Not Have A Barakah Tag?

Customers must show their Barakah tag to redeem an offer. If they do not have a tag, businesses have the right to decline the offer.

How Can I Update My Payment Details Or Cancel An Optional Contribution?

Joining Barakah and publishing your offer is free — you are never required to make a monthly payment. If you have chosen to make an optional monthly support contribution to CYD through the Zeffy form, use your Zeffy confirmation email or contact Barakah for help with payment changes or cancellation.
