What are our goals?

We want to unite the ummah.

What does it mean to unite the ummah and what does it look like?

• Having reliable state that represents the Quran and Sunnah

• Having Muslim representatives in media

• Having Muslims be a respectable competitor in global trade and influence

• Having Muslims at the forefront of research and innovation

Which of these can I take part in or help in the development of?

• We need to have industry leading products and services. We need to outcompete the western competitors.

  • Incentivise and encourage Muslim startups

  • Provide funding for these startups ideally from within the community

  • Help these startups go international.

• We have many muslims in academia here in the west. We need to encourage muslims to use their expertise in an Islamic context where they work for Islamic corporations rather than our competitors.

• We need more journalists and political commentators to use Muslim dominated social media to promote this idea of closure within the muslim community.

What Is the Fastest Route to Achieving This Goal?

We are moving towards a more subscription based world.

We are moving towards a more sustainable world.

We are moving towards a more AI driven world.

We are moving towards a more technology driven world.

We are moving towards an attention economy.

If the startups developed can get ahead of the competition with a fundamentally better product offering then we will have one huge player in the game that can create opportunities for more Muslims and inspire.

Having an established Islamic Bank that is trusted by most Muslims in the West we can be in charge of and deal with the capital allocation ourselves. We can allocate capital to ethical endeavours and force the world to head in the direction of justice, peace and prosperity.
