Papers

Conference
The Muslim Umma is in a paradoxical state—potentially strong but marginalized. Increased numbers, education, and connectivity clash with post-colonial borders, leading to divisions. Global changes and civilizational nationalisms pose challenges.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَـٰكُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَسَطًۭا لِّتَكُونُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًۭا ۗ
“And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you.”
Ummatics Foundations
Ummatics Foundations studies how ummatic thought and practice can uniquely, feasibly, and preferably solve the various social, political, economic, ethical, and spiritual challenges facing the Muslim Umma.
