Find your Ummah with Jamaa. The world's biggest social and friendship app for Muslims. Let’s face it, most social apps weren’t built with Muslims in mind. Our feeds are often full of irrelevant or inappropriate content, it’s difficult to ask questions or get advice on Muslim topics, our deen, or islamic matters that are important to us as Muslims, and we’re often silenced or shadow banned for discussing sensitive issues. It just doesn’t work. That’s exactly why we built Jamaa. A social app for Muslims, by Muslims. On Jamaa, you can be your unapologetic Muslim self. Connect with Muslims nearby, in your local Muslim community, or around the world, and make friends with those who share your faith. Join private groups for anything that matters to you, from local sisters groups and revert support circles to Quran study, uni Islamic societies, divorce support, for halal investing, or planning trips like Umrah or Hajj. Ask for advice, share knowledge, discover Muslim events, make friends, or simply connect with Muslims who share your faith and values. We’ve all used apps that weren’t made for us. This one is. Jamaa brings Muslims together, to learn, help each other, and build real friendships, networks, and communities. Why Jamaa? A social feed that feels familiar, but makes sense for Muslims. Post, reply, share, and chat with people who share your faith. A clean, family-friendly feed with no weird algorithms or shadow banning. Join private groups for anything that matters to you. From men or women only spaces, to groups for local communities, study circles, hobbies, marriage, and more. Whatever it is, there’s a group for it. New to islam? Join groups with other reverts, and meet other Muslims on the same path. Seek advice, share experiences, make friends and feel part of a Muslim community from day one. Ask sensitive questions or share your thoughts anonymously and get real advice from Muslims in your community. A safe space to speak openly and connect with those who understand. Move the conversation to a private chat. Request a DM to connect, make friends, or arrange meet-ups. Have full control over who can message you, disable messages from men or women for complete privacy. From guest speakers and fundraisers to local meet-ups and community nights, discover the biggest Muslim events bringing Muslims together. Content is moderated and monitored 24/7 to keep your experience respectful and halal. Stay in control of your space, hide your profile, and block or report users instantly. Find your Ummah.
