Pillars of Change: Our Solutions for the Ummah
The financial world often presents challenges for the Ummah – limited access to truly Halal options, opaque systems, and a disconnect from our core values. UmmahVest answers this call with a comprehensive ecosystem, each component a solution meticulously designed to empower, uplift, and unite, all built upon the unshakeable foundation of Islamic principles and cutting-edge, secure technology. This is how we're different; this is how we serve.

Our platform features an auto-Zakat calculator for personalized obligatory charity and a community Waqf builder for collective endowments generating perpetual benefits. All donations are tracked on the blockchain for a verifiable trail from donor to beneficiary. This is inspired by the words: "Those who spend their wealth [in Allah's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve." (Quran 2:274)
Qard Hasan Microfinance Engine: Benevolent Loans, Empowered Lives

Private UmmahVest Agencies: Guardians of Trust & Integrity
Our network of dedicated, directly employed and trained Private UmmahVest Agencies forms the backbone of our trust infrastructure. They are responsible for critical on-ground decision-making, economic control to ensure stability, and upholding the safety and privacy of our users. They conduct in-person audits of charities and startups, verify data, ensure quality control, and enhance the security of user investments and donations. This 'boots-on-the-ground' diligence, combined with community input via our DAO for specific Ummah causes, ensures 'trust' is a verified reality, upholding our Shariah principles and making UmmahVest a uniquely secure and reliable platform.
UmmahTalks: Decentralized Knowledge Sharing
UmmahVerse is a Medium-like decentralized publishing platform with blockchain verification.

The UmmahVest Difference: A Revolution in Halal Finance
UmmahVest isn't just another platform; it's a paradigm shift. We're building a comprehensive, faith-driven ecosystem where others offer fragments. See how we're pioneering a truly holistic approach to empowering the Ummah:
Feature / Principle | Typical Islamic DeFi/Finance Platforms | |
---|---|---|
Approach & Accessibility | ||
Hybrid Web2-Web3 Platform (Email, Fiat, Progressive Web3) | Often Web3-only, wallet-centric | |
User-Friendly Onboarding for All Technical Levels | Steeper learning curve for non-crypto natives | |
Ecosystem Scope | ||
Comprehensive End-to-End Halal Ecosystem (Invest, Charity, Finance, Skills, Community) | Primarily DeFi-focused (Lending, Staking, Swaps) | |
Tokenization of Real-World Halal Assets (Equity, Gold, Sukuk) | Mainly crypto-native or synthetic assets | |
Integrated Startup Incubator (UmmahLabs) | Typically absent | |
Skill Development & Freelance Marketplace (SkillHub, PeopleDrops) | Typically absent | |
Shariah Compliance & Trust | ||
Deep Shariah Governance & Dedicated Advisory Board | Varies; can be algorithmic, community-voted, or less formal | |
Private UmmahVest Agencies for On-Ground Verification | Unique to UmmahVest; reliance on digital-only verification | |
Transparent, Audited Smart Contracts for All Core Operations | Audits common, but scope may differ | |
Community & Governance | ||
True Community-Centric DAO (UMMAH Token reflecting Shura) | Often basic token voting, risk of plutocracy | |
Focus on Collective Empowerment & Real-World Impact | Primarily focused on financial returns within DeFi | |
Financial Instruments & Social Finance | ||
Zero-Compromise Halal (No Riba, Maysir, Gharar) | Complex instruments can introduce Shariah ambiguities (Gharar) | |
Integrated Social Finance (Zakat, Qard Hasan) | Charity features often limited or separate | |
Physically-Backed Stablecoins (UUSD, UGLD) | Often algorithmic or crypto-collateralized, potentially volatile |
This comparison highlights common trends. Individual platforms vary. UmmahVest's commitment is to provide a holistic, deeply Shariah-compliant, and community-centric ecosystem.
The Technology Behind Our Trust
Discover the advanced, ethical, and transparent technology powering UmmahVest, ensuring security, Shariah compliance, and community empowerment.
What is Web2 vs Web3?
Web2 is the internet most of us use daily, where platforms like social media or e-commerce sites are controlled by single companies. Users often trade data for services, trusting centralized systems.
Web3 represents the next evolution: a decentralized, transparent internet often built on blockchain. It empowers users by enabling direct interactions and ownership, reducing reliance on intermediaries.
At UmmahVest, we harness Web3 to offer Muslims worldwide transparent and direct access to Halal investing, removing traditional barriers like banks or brokers, and placing control back into your hands.
Why We Chose the Haqq Network
UmmahVest is proudly built on the Haqq Network , a Shariah-compliant blockchain developed by the team behind Islamic Coin . "Haqq" means "truth"—a value central to our mission of fairness, transparency, and trust.
- $ISLM (Islamic Coin) is the native token, facilitating transactions within this ethical ecosystem.
- Backed by a global Shariah Board of esteemed scholars, ensuring rigorous adherence to Islamic principles.
- 10% of each $ISLM issuance is dedicated to the Evergreen DAO, funding impactful projects for the Muslim Ummah.
This foundation ensures every transaction and investment on UmmahVest aligns with core Islamic finance principles like risk-sharing, prohibition of Riba (interest), and complete ethical transparency.
How UmmahVest Leverages Web3
- Tokenized Equity: Businesses can tokenize their shares into digital tokens, allowing investors to easily buy, sell, and manage their Halal investments.
- Smart Contracts: These self-executing contracts with predefined rules govern our platform. They ensure:Illustrative Solidity interface for fund operations.This provides transparent profit/loss sharing, automated Zakat calculation, and adherence to Halal investment rules.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT pragma solidity ^0.8.20; interface IUmmahFund { enum AssetType { EQUITY, SUKUK, COMMODITY } struct Investment { address investor; uint256 amountInvested; AssetType assetType; uint256 investmentTime; bool isShariahCompliant; } event NewInvestment(address indexed investor, uint256 amount, AssetType assetType); event ComplianceVerified(bytes32 indexed investmentId, bool compliant); function makeInvestment(uint256 _amount, AssetType _assetType) external payable; function verifyInvestmentCompliance(bytes32 _investmentId) external view returns (bool); function distributeProfits() external; // Logic for profit sharing function calculateZakat(address _user) external view returns (uint256); }
- Investor Wallets: Users maintain direct control over their assets through personal digital wallets, eliminating centralized middlemen and enhancing security.
- Ummah Token Utility: Our upcoming utility token will fuel the ecosystem, offer rewards, facilitate governance, and fund community-driven Ummah causes.
Unyielding Security & Shariah Transparency
All transactions on UmmahVest are recorded on the Haqq Network's public blockchain ledger. This means unparalleled transparency: no hidden fees, no potential for tampering, and open auditing for Shariah compliance.
We are actively developing a Shariah Board module, integrating insights from Islamic scholars for ongoing, Fatwa-based compliance and community governance through voting mechanisms. Your trust is our most valued asset.
Our Tech Stack (For the Technically Curious)
- Smart Contracts: Solidity on Haqq EVM
- Backend: Node.js + Express
- Decentralized Storage: IPFS for transparency
- Wallets: MetaMask & Haqq Wallet Integration
Explore Transactions: Haqq Network Explorer
Coming Soon: Open API for developers, a comprehensive project tokenization toolkit, and infrastructure for smart Waqf (endowments).
Our Tokens: Instruments of Ethical Empowerment
The UmmahVest token ecosystem (UMMAH, UUSD, UGLD) is meticulously crafted not for speculation, but as foundational tools for utility, stability, governance, and the flourishing of a just Halal digital economy. Each token serves a distinct, Shariah-compliant purpose, designed to circulate value within the Ummah, empower individuals, and ensure fairness and transparency in every interaction. This is how we build an economy that reflects our deepest values.
UMMAH Token: The Heart of Our Community (UMMAH)
The UMMAH token (Total Supply: 1 Billion) is the lifeblood of our community, embodying shared stewardship (Amanah). It facilitates platform access, premium features, reduced transaction fees, and staking rewards. Crucially, UMMAH empowers our semi-decentralized governance model: token holders vote on annual Ummah causes for charitable giving, ensuring community alignment with our philanthropic mission. Strategic platform decisions are guided by expert oversight from Private UmmahVest Agencies, ensuring stability and Shariah compliance, complemented by community feedback.
UmmahStable (UUSD): Stability in a Changing World (UUSD)
UUSD offers a Shariah-compliant beacon of stability. It is indirectly fiat-backed via USDC, providing a reliable peg for seamless transactions within UmmahVest. We are transparent about our reserves, with a public wallet address and a real-time reserve dashboard (coming soon). UUSD is a dependable medium for Halal investments, ethical DeFi, transparent charity distributions, and Qard Hasan loans. Disclaimer: We are actively working towards establishing fully Shariah-compliant direct fiat custody solutions and further enhancing UUSD's backing structure.
UmmahGold (UGLD): Enduring Value, Modern Access (UGLD)
UGLD connects the timeless, Shariah-compliant value of physical gold with blockchain efficiency. Each UGLD token is fully backed by and redeemable for PAX Gold (PAXG), a regulated gold-backed token. We publicly track our token-to-PAXG reserves and are committed to sourcing PAXG from certified Shariah-compliant providers where available. Our reserves and backing are verified through regular proof-of-reserve attestations and third-party audits by trusted firms, ensuring tangible security for your gold-backed assets.

"...so that it (wealth) may not merely circulate between the rich among you..."
(Quran 59:7)
Our Path Forward: Building the Future, Step by Step
