How to Make a Masjid Donation Flyer Easily (Without Experience)

Flyers might seem old-school, but in masjid fundraising, they still work wonders. Whether you’re collecting donations for a new carpet, air conditioning, Ramadan food drives, or daily expenses — a well-designed mosque donation flyer can grab attention and motivate action.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to design a compelling flyer, even if you’re not a designer. You’ll learn what to include, what tools to use, and how to distribute it effectively. And we’ll show you how MadinaApps helps you manage donations digitally while your flyer brings people in.

Why Use a Donation Flyer for Your Masjid?

Even in the age of apps and QR codes, flyers remain powerful:

Offline reach: Not everyone follows your masjid online or uses social media.

Immediate attention: Flyers posted on masjid walls or handed out after salah can grab attention quickly.

Tangible presence: A printed flyer stays in hand, on fridges, or in wallets—reminding people to donate.

When used with a smart platform like MadinaApps, flyers help connect offline interest with easy digital giving options.

Step 1: Set a Clear Fundraising Goal

Before designing anything, be specific:

Are you fundraising for a specific project or for general upkeep?

What is the target amount?

Is it a time-sensitive appeal (e.g., before Eid or during Ramadan)?

Example messages:

“Help Raise $30,000 to Install a New Carpet Before Ramadan.”

“Support Our Masjid’s Monthly Utilities – Just $500 Can Light a Prayer Room.”

A clear purpose builds trust and shows donors how their contribution will make a real impact.

Step 2: What to Include in a flyer?

Here’s a checklist of must-have elements to make your flyer effective:

A Powerful Islamic Headline

Examples:

“Build Your Jannah – Donate to Your Masjid Today.”
“Support the House of Allah – Earn Ongoing Rewards.”

Use bold fonts and center it at the top.

High-Quality Images

Use real photos of:

Your masjid’s interior/exterior
Events like taraweeh, iftar, or children’s programs
Smiling community members or volunteers

Avoid generic stock photos. Authentic images = stronger connection.

A Short and Clear Message

Keep it brief. People will only skim. Use 3–4 lines to:

Describe the need
Explain the impact
Mention the reward (sawab)

Example:
“Our masjid’s roof is leaking, and with the monsoon approaching fast, we urgently need ₹1,00,000 to carry out the repairs. Your timely support can help protect the house of Allah. Donate now and be among those who maintain His sacred space.”

Use bullet points if needed, and avoid long paragraphs.

Donation Methods

Make giving easy by offering multiple ways:

UPI ID or QR code
Bank transfer info
Link to your website or donation portal (like MadinaApps)

Highlight donation methods with icons to catch the eye.

Islamic Quote or Hadith

Add a short, relevant quote to connect with hearts:

“The believer’s shade on the Day of Judgment will be his charity.” – Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” – Bukhari

Place this under your headline or near the end.

Contact Details and Masjid Info

Always include:

Masjid name and address
Phone number or WhatsApp
Social media (optional)
Logo (if available)

This builds credibility and makes follow-up easy.

Step 3: Islamic Flyer Design Tips (No Graphic Skills Needed)

You don’t need to be a designer to make a clean, impactful flyer. Follow these simple design rules:

Contact Details and Masjid Info

Use Clear Fonts

Headline: use bold, modern fonts like Poppins, Montserrat, or Tajawal (Arabic-friendly).
Body: keep it readable with fonts like Open Sans or Roboto.
Stick to 2 fonts max for a neat look

Organize Your Layout

Use sections:

Top: Headline and logo
Middle: Image + short message
Bottom: Donation info + contact details

Ideal Sizes

Choose based on where it will be shared:

A4 (8.5″ x 11″) – For notice boards and masjid walls
A5 – Compact handouts
Square – For sharing on WhatsApp, Instagram, or Telegram

Print on glossy or matte paper for durability. Laminate for outdoor use.

Step 4: Free & Easy Tools to Design Your Flyer

Even without graphic experience, you can create stunning flyers using free tools:

Canva (Recommended)

User-friendly drag-and-drop interface
Free Islamic-themed templates
Add your own text, photos, logo, and QR code

Google Docs or Slides

Simple layout tools
Easy for teams to collaborate

Microsoft Word or PowerPoint

Still very effective for basic flyers. Use built-in shapes, fonts, and insert QR codes easily.

Pro Tip: After creating your flyer, convert it into:

PDF for print

Step 5: Where and How to Share Your Flyer

Grocery stores and halal meat shops
On chairs or prayer mats before Jumuah

Share Digitally

Step 7: Common Flyer Mistakes to Avoid

Even with good intentions, avoid these common errors:

Overcrowded layout – Too much text = no impact

2. If it can’t be read clearly from three feet away, the font is too small.

3. No donation instructions – Always include clear, visible payment info

4. Blurry or unrelated images can hurt credibility and reduce trust.

5. Ignoring follow-up – Add a phone number or WhatsApp for questions

Keep it clean, readable, focused, and visually Islamic.
