How to save the value of my checkbox on a pop up window

I have a button that when clicked, a pop up window appears and on this pop up window, there is a list with checkboxes. When I click the checkboxes, they respond and become active or inactive. The problems is that the ticks disappear when I close and reopen the pop up window. What can I do to have some checkboxes active even after the pop up window has been closed.

I've tried using ids where each checkbox will have an id and I would manually have something happen if a check box was checked but that failed because I can't get the state of the check box.

class SwipeDhikrScreen(Screen):
    counter = NumericProperty(0)
    counter_text = StringProperty(str(counter))  #

    def on_touch_move(self, touch):
        if touch.x - touch.ox > 50:
            MainApp.get_running_app().change_screen(screen_name="home_screen", screen_direction="right")

    def dhikr_count(self):
        self.counter += 1
        print(self.counter)
        self.counter_text = str(self.counter)

    def custompop_up(self):  # calls open the pop up custom window
        content = CustomOptionPopUp()
        global Cpop
        Cpop = Popup(title="Custom Dhikr", content=content, size_hint=(None, None), size=(250, 400))
        Cpop.open()

class CustomOptionPopUp(FloatLayout):
    subhanAllah_click = ObjectProperty(None)
    alhamdullilah_check = ObjectProperty(None)

    def checkbox_click(self, instance, value):  # Deals with the okay button of the Custom pop up window
        if value:
            print(self.ids)
            print(self.subhanAllah_click)


    def quit_custom_popup(self):
        Cpop.dismiss()  # closes the custom pop up window

and here is the kv file

The reason that your CheckBox values get reset is because you are creating a new Popup (and thus, new CheckBoxes) every time the custompop_up() is called. To correct this, just create one Popup to show whenever custompop_up() is called. Something like this:

def custompop_up(self):  # calls open the pop up custom window
    global Cpop
    if Cpop is None:
        content = CustomOptionPopUp()
        Cpop = Popup(title="Custom Dhikr", content=content, size_hint=(None, None), size=(250, 400))
    Cpop.open()

This requires that Cpop be defined before custompop_up() is called, so the following statement should appear in your code outside any class:

Cpop = None
