Money lenders dealing in interest take advantage of the poor, pushing them deeper into misery and debt. Help us build an alternative based on the sunnah.


​"And hold firmly all together to the rope of Allah, and do not become divided."

      We all want unity and togetherness, but sometimes it's not clear how we can achieve it. We want to do something about the suffering we see our brothers and sisters going through, but sometimes we may feel powerless. 

Ummati platform is intended to create an alternative to wall street and and the financial industry that can help people worldwide build communities and take back some of the power that has fallen into the hands of shady bankers, and to use that power to promote unity and common good rather than selfishness and wastefulness.

     Giving charity and aid is essential, but sometimes it can seem like we are treating the symptoms and not addressing the underlying cause. Ummati is aimed at the root of the issues we are facing today.



​Continuing charity- an investment in eternity


An old saying goes, give someone a fish, feed them for a day. Teach them to fish, feed them for a lifetime. 

Ummati platform is seeking to provide a means for people to achieve financial independence and at the same time provide a sense of confidence and self worth to those struggling. This is not just about the rich helping the poor- it's about people helping eachother.


​For the price of 10 lattes...

 In some parts of the world $40 dollars may be enough for someone to start a successful business, but many people are struggling just to make ends meet. 

     For the first time in history we have technology that can be used to help people on opposite sides of the world invest in eachother and share profits, according to the same mode of contracts used by the sahaba in Medina(radhi Allahu anhum). We now have the opportunity to become more interconnected than ever before and to transcend the divisions that seperate and weaken us.


​A social network for halal business

We have filed a patent for the process of Ummati platform, a person to person, blockchain based halal social finance, investment, and wealth building platform accessible to people of all income levels. For details, you can check out our website at ummati.io or get in contact with us. 


Now we need to get community support to develop a proof of concept and a prototype so that we can demonstrate the potential of this idea and get more support. Your support will go towards:

  • ​Developing mathematical models that will underly the platform
  • Developing concept and code for a prototype that will demonstrate the potential to major investors
  • Expanding our team to include qualified Islamic scholars to act as advisors
  • Creating a professional quality animated video to communicate the complex ideas quickly and effectively
  • More support for small businesspeople in Indonesia as we further test the platform and Islamic contracts
  • Running a crowd investment round where anyone can purchase a stake in Ummati

​Riba- worse than incest


  A hadith from the prophet, sal Allahu alaihi wasalam, tells us that there are 70 types of riba THE LEAST OF WHICH is as severe a sin as incest. All Christians recognized the need to keep interest totally illegal until a few centuries ago. Now, sadly, many Muslims are following the same route and have become complacent about riba going on all around us. Imagine if incest was happening all around us, how repulsed we would be- and yet what is happening is actually worse!

    If we are unable to stop the evil of riba with our hands, tongues, or hearts, we should at least try to provide an alternative. 

Ummati is striving not only to make true Islamic contracts as were practiced by the sahaba available for the whole ummah- we are trying to support the strength and the unity of the Muslims and the oppressed everywhere so that those who are currently in need of charity can become capable of giving charity, instead.

With unity comes strength, and with strength we can challenge the oppression and injustice that people everywhere are facing, in sha Allah.
