Quick answers to the most common questions about Umatyn.
Umatyn is a mission-driven ecosystem for the global Muslim tech world. A user finds a tool, can become a contributor (vote, review, submission), and circulates feedback to the creators — who enrich their listings and publish their new releases. The platform covers Muslim apps across all categories: finance, education, productivity, organization management, Quran reading, and beyond.
Umatyn is built first for Muslims looking for a tool that fits a specific need — prayer, halal finance, Quran memorization, organization management — and for creators building inside the ecosystem. But the site isn't restricted: browsing, comparing, reading reviews stays open to everyone — journalists, researchers, the simply curious. The only shared rule, the moment you engage (review, vote, comment): respect — no personal attacks, no ideological instrumentalization.
Use the "Submit a tool" button in the header, or go to umatyn.com/submit. You fill in a short form (name, URL, description, category). Human verification takes 2 to 5 business days — we make sure the tool works, that it genuinely serves the community, and that it meets our criteria before publishing.
Umatyn is not a religious judge on nuances. A tool's compliance with Islamic principles is something to be discussed between the community using it, the creator, and the religious authorities each person follows — madhab, imam, scholars. What belongs to schools, opinions, or fiqhi debate: not our role. On the other hand, on the universal foundations that all schools share — riba (interest) and maysir (gambling) — Umatyn will not list. That's the entry condition. Beyond that base, it's for the community to debate.
Yes for users, and it will stay that way. Browsing, voting, writing a review, submitting a tool, receiving the weekly digest: no cost. On the creator and tool-owner side, optional paid features (advanced analytics, transparent featured placement) may come later — to cover the cost of human moderation and infrastructure. Access to the platform stays free, always.
Any signed-in user can leave a review: a 1 to 5-star rating and a written comment. Reviews are moderated to filter spam and personal attacks — but we don't edit or remove a review based on its rating. The creator can reply once per review to add context or correct a factual detail.
Yes. If your tool is already listed and you are its creator, click "Claim this tool" on its page. Verification is done through DNS, domain email, or other proof of ownership. Once claimed, you can edit the listing, reply to reviews, publish releases, and access basic analytics on your tool.

Because the best Ummah-tech innovations come from everywhere — Malaysia, the United States, the Gulf, Southeast Asia. Limiting yourself to a single country or language means ignoring the majority of them. Umatyn is available in English, French, and Arabic for now. More languages will follow — always with the requirement that meaning carries through, not just the words.
Behind Umatyn, people on the ground — engaged in mosques, in charitable organizations, in inter-community exchanges. Not a distant team optimizing metrics on a dashboard in San Francisco. The aim: keep the human link, set ego aside, and surface what actually serves the Ummah.
Users will never pay. The intended model: cover the costs (human moderation, servers, team) on the creator and tool-owner side — advanced analytics, transparent sponsored placement, tools for their communities. No ads, no data resale. This way the platform stays open and free, with no dependency on advertisers.
