Grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah, upon the understanding of the Salaf.
Our identity and our language follow a clear methodology — while the directory itself stays open to graduates of every background.
MihrabUmmah is built upon the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah, understood the way the first and best generations — the Salaf us-Salih — understood them. That grounding shapes our tone, our definitions, and the way we speak about knowledge and its people.

- The authentic Sunnah
- As the Salaf us-Salih understood themThe first and best generations.
- Our tone, our definitions, our wordsHow we speak about knowledge and its people.
Open to all
Being clear about our own grounding does not mean closing the door. The directory is open to Madrasa graduates of every background. Where a credential or curriculum differs between boards, we describe it factually and let people find one another.
What it does not decide
- Who belongs in the directory
- Which board or curriculum a graduate came from
- Whether a graduate states a maslak
What it shapes
- Our tone
- How each credential is defined
- The way we speak about knowledge and its people
How this shows up
- DefinitionsCredentials are explained plainly and grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah — see what the titles mean.
- MaslakSchool of thought: an optional field a graduate may state or leave blank; it is never required.
- RespectFor the sacred — we keep the tone dignified and the design calm.
