Note from the editor

Ummah Wide is a digital media and film production company telling stories that transcend the borders of global communities. We are building a high growth digital media company focused on publishing beautiful digital content and print publications, video, and audio content working with global content producers to connect people and to tell the stories that are not being told from across the world. Our goal by 2016 is to have a digital site, app and a suite of social media channels that are visited by millions of users from throughout the world every day. This global digital media company is focused on the emerging generation of global Muslims who share many similarities in their cultural and lifestyle tastes. We believe this emerging culture of the global urban Muslim is a lifestyle market that lives from San Francisco to Abu Dhabi to Jakarta.
