وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا
“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.” — Qur’an 3:103
An open charter for Muslim organizations: build on infrastructure we own, on terms we set.
The Muslim internet is built on someone else’s land. DUA exists to change this. Ummah Media Group wrote the charter — and signed it first.

The DUA Charter
Every DUA member commits to working toward these principles.
Migrate critical infrastructure away from companies with anti-Muslim activities. Google’s Project Nimbus. Meta’s censorship. AWS military contracts.
No Google AdSense funding harm. No haram advertisements on Muslim properties. Support Muslim-owned ad infrastructure.
No Google Analytics. No Meta Pixel. Own your audience data on your own servers. Be transparent with your users.
DUA Case Study #1
The stack behind Ummah Media Group’s 14 consumer properties runs on servers we operate ourselves — mail, analytics, ad serving, team chat, and video. We made these switches in our own company before asking anyone else to.
| Function | The Big Tech default | What we run (owned) |
|---|---|---|
| Google Workspace | Stalwart Mail (ummah.email) | |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Matomo (self-hosted) |
| Ad Serving | Google Ad Manager | Self-hosted ad server |
| Team Chat | Slack | Mattermost (self-hosted) |
| Video Meetings | Zoom / Google Meet | UmmahMeet (self-hosted) |
| Hosting | AWS / Google Cloud | Hetzner (EU) |
