Kuala Lumpur, 26 February 2025 – Bitsmedia Pte Ltd, the company behind the globally renowned Muslim Pro app and the Qalbox video platform, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Durioo Sdn Bhd, the operator of Durioo+, a leading safe and islamic streaming platform for Muslim children. This strategic partnership introduces an exclusive bundled subscription for Ramadan 2025, providing Muslim families with accessible, faith-enriching content at a discounted rate.
Under the collaboration, Muslim Pro and Qalbox customers will gain access to discounted subscription rates for Durioo+, while Durioo+ subscribers will enjoy the premium features of Muslim Pro and Qalbox as part of a bundled package. This limited-time Ramadan-exclusive offer will provide users with at least a 50% discount, ensuring a more affordable and enriched experience during the holy month.
Sinan Ismail, Founder and CEO of Durioo Sdn Bhd said, “Durioo+ is thrilled to collaborate with Muslim Pro and Qalbox to provide our users with a comprehensive islamic experience, especially during Ramadan. We hope that this partnership will enable our safe and islamic content to reach many more Muslim families across the globe, and provide them with a more enriching Islamic experience in their households.”
In addition to the financial savings, this collaboration enhances the digital offerings available to Muslim families by combining Muslim Pro’s essential religious functionalities — including prayer times, Quran recitations and Qibla directions — with the rich, values-oriented programming from Durioo+, with over 16,000 safe, islamic and entertaining content for Muslim children.
Junaidah Said Khan, Head of Content at Muslim Pro and Qalbox said, “This partnership enables us to deepen the value we provide to our users during the holy month. Integrating Durioo+’s specialised content with Muslim Pro’s comprehensive religious tools offers families a unique and enriching experience that supports both their spiritual and educational needs.”
Bitsmedia and Durioo are Gobi Partners portfolio companies, with investments made in 2023. “This partnership is a significant milestone in our TaqwaTech journey. At Gobi, we invest in innovations that bridge faith and technology, empowering our companies to deliver meaningful digital experiences to Muslim families worldwide,” said Jamaludin Bujang, Managing Partner of Gobi Partners.
The collaboration lays the groundwork for a long-term partnership as both companies work towards a comprehensive commercial agreement in the coming months. As digital content consumption rises, the initiative underlines their commitment to fostering a dynamic digital environment for Muslim audiences worldwide.
With Ramadan being a time of spiritual reflection and family bonding, this initiative ensures that families have access to both faith-enriching resources and engaging, value-based entertainment, making it easier for parents to provide a meaningful digital experience for their children during this significant period.
