About Our University

Welcome to
Umma University

Umma University is Kenya’s premier Islamic faith-based institution of higher learning, uniquely positioned at the intersection of values and innovation.

Founded on a vision to integrate Islamic moral principles with scientific, technological, and innovative education, the university has grown into a hub of academic excellence, research, and community service.

 This vision was first inspired by the late Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sumait, renowned physician, philanthropist and humanitarian. Dr. Al-Sumait dedicated his life to advancing education, healthcare, and community development across Africa, guided by the belief that sustainable

progress begins with knowledge. His dream was to establish an institution that blends Islamic values with modern academic excellence, shaping generations of graduates to serve humanity with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

 

Today, Umma University stands as a living legacy of his commitment to education as a force for transformation.
