Who We Are

An Islamic society building digital infrastructure for the Ummah.

Ummly is the digital bridge between the Ummah and the institutions that serve it — connecting givers to verified mosques, madrassas, and Islamic organisations so that knowledge, zakat, and sadaqah reach where they should, by easy digital transfer. Free for users, always.

Our Mission

Boost knowledge, unify the community, and stand with those society overlooks — together, in the open.

We do not believe knowledge should cost money, that giving sadaqah should feel uncertain, or that the needy should disappear into bureaucracy. So we built a bridge: a platform where every resource is free, every gift transfers straight to a verified cause, and every voice in the Ummah is welcome.

What we believe

Four convictions that shape everything

Faith first

Every decision is anchored in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah. Knowledge, service, and care are acts of worship.

Free, always

Knowledge, tools, and community are a right — not a paywall. Every service on Ummly is free to use.

A bridge, not a middleman

Your gift transfers straight to a verified organisation — never into our hands. The trail is open end to end, so giving is never a leap of faith.

For the entire Ummah

Rooted locally, open globally. From students to scholars, families to orphans — there is a seat for everyone.

What we do

An entire platform, completely free

Every tool below is free for users — and free for verified mosques, madrassas, and Islamic organisations to publish on.

Community & connection

A trusted digital home where Muslims discover circles, sheikhs, mentors, and friendships near them and beyond.

Zahra AI — your study & platform companion

A free Islamic assistant grounded in Qur'an, Hadith and Fiqh references — and your guide to giving zakat, donating, and finding mosques on Ummly. No login walls, no premium tiers.

A free Islamic library

Curated, downloadable resources for Qur'an study, Hadith, Fiqh, Seerah, and personal development — open to all.

Find a mosque & madrassa

Discover masjids and verified madrassas around you with prayer times, programs, and direct contact.

Zakat made simple

A free Zakat calculator that walks you through cash, gold, business, and Nisab — the way it should be taught, not gatekept.

Verified institutions

Mosques, madrassas, and registered Islamic organisations can publish programs, classes, and appeals on the platform — verified and free.

What your giving reaches

The needy have always been hard to find. Not anymore.

Verified Islamic organisations on Ummly serve these needs. We vet each one, surface their appeals, and make giving a single tap — your transfer goes straight to them:

Orphans & vulnerable children

Verified orphanages on the platform provide shelter, schooling, and dignity for children with no one to advocate for them — your sadaqah reaches them directly.

Education that uplifts

Verified sponsors cover school fees, books, and tuition for students held back not by ability, but by a missing payment.

Medical bills

When a family is one bill away from losing hope, vetted appeals make it easy to step in — urgent, verified, and discreet.

Nikkah support

Trusted local institutions help brothers and sisters held back from marriage by cost — easing this Sunnah and protecting chastity.

Sadaqah, on your behalf

That child you passed in a hurry — set aside whatever you can, and a verified partner delivers it where it counts and reports back.

Street children programs

Bi idhnillah, partner programs to feed, shelter, school, and reintegrate street children — a long-standing wound the Ummah means to address together.

Transparency & Trust

Every transaction. Open. Auditable. Settled.

  • We never hold your money

    Your gift moves straight from you to the verified organisation through Paystack. There is no donation pool sitting with us — because the money never does.

  • Verified beneficiaries

    Every organisation and appeal is vetted before it appears — orphanages, masjids, and registered institutions, not anonymous requests.

  • Reported back to donors

    The verified partner confirms receipt, so you know where your gift went, who it reached, and the difference it made.

Payments secured by Paystack

All donations and verification payments are processed by Paystack — Africa's most trusted payment infrastructure. Your data never touches our servers.

  • PCI DSS Level 1 — the highest payment security certification.
  • End-to-end TLS encryption on every transaction.
  • Card, M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and bank transfer — pay seamlessly with whatever you use.
  • We never store card details. Your money goes where you sent it.
How we sustain ourselves

Your giving is yours — every shilling.

Ummly does not charge users — not for Zahra AI, not for the library, not for the Zakat calculator, not for posting, not for anything. And we never take a cut of your zakat or sadaqah: 100% transfers to the verified organisation you choose. The platform itself is sustained separately — through an optional verification-badge service for institutions, and supporters who choose to back the infrastructure directly. Giving and running the platform stay completely separate.

The road ahead

What we are building next, in shaa Allah

Bank partnerships for automatic Zakat

With your permission, partnered banks will compute and route your Zakat automatically each year — so it's never forgotten and always accurate.

Mobile apps (iOS & Android)

Native apps that bring the community, Zahra, and giving into your pocket — so the platform meets you wherever you are.

Global Islamic institution partners

Direct integrations with masjids, madrassas, and Islamic organisations around the world — verified, free, and on a single platform.

You belong here. So does whatever you can give.

Whether you join to learn, to connect with sheikhs, to ask Zahra a question, or to send sadaqah on behalf of the brother you couldn't stop for in traffic — there is a place for you in this work.
