What ilmfeed does

IlmFeed is a London-based independent digital media platform founded in 2014 that publishes Islamic content for a global Muslim audience. The platform operates a content hub at ilmfeed.com featuring articles across categories including History, Inspirational, Mosques, People, Ramadan, Hajj, Quran, Sunnah, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Technology, complemented by a YouTube channel with 1.1k+ subscribers, an audio podcast series, and active social media presence across Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook. The platform has accumulated 1.6k+ articles focused on positive Muslim representation, Muslim heroes, Islamic history, current events affecting Muslim communities worldwide, and spiritual practice guidance, with content originating from or referencing communities in the UK, USA, Ireland, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, Australia, and other Muslim-population countries.

The company operates as a charitable media platform rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the business appears to be sustained primarily through individual donations and recurring fundraising campaigns rather than a paid product or advertising model. Since 2017, IlmFeed has run annual Ramadan fundraising campaigns that have funded humanitarian projects including prosthetic limbs for Syrians, solar-powered water purification in Gaza (over £170,000 raised in 2018), food aid in Yemen (over £50,000 raised in 2018), and a school for Rohingya children in Bangladesh launched in 2019 in partnership with Lonely Orphans, a registered British charity. IlmFeed uses LaunchGood as its crowdfunding infrastructure partner, has collaborated with Islamic Relief's Charity Week initiative, and onboarded multiple UK restaurant chains (Band of Burgers, Chaiiwala, Smoky Boys, Fatburger, Heavenly Desserts, among others) as donation partners for Charity Week 2018. On-site monetization signals include a sponsored banner for Islamic Relief's Zakat giving page.

The team is extremely lean at 7 employees based in London, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity backing, or institutional investment of any kind. The platform runs a "Write for Us" contributor program that suggests volunteer-based content creation supplementing the in-house team, and features third-party products such as the Tahfidh Qur'an memorization app from the National Huffadh Association UK. The technology stack is a standard WordPress content management system with no disclosed API, SDK, mobile app, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or proprietary integrations.

Others

• LaunchGood: Crowdfunding platform serving Muslim causes, and an existing IlmFeed partner. Adjacent as a fundraising infrastructure provider rather than a content competitor.
• Islamic Relief Worldwide: Major international Muslim humanitarian charity and existing IlmFeed partner. Adjacent rather than competing, but relevant because it shapes the charity-fundraising ecosystem in which IlmFeed operates.
• AMJA (American Muslim Jurists Association): Scholarly organization producing Islamic content including articles, fatwas, and educational resources. Adjacent thematically — Islamic knowledge publishing — but more jurisprudence-focused than IlmFeed's inspirational/community storytelling.

Direct peers

• AboutIslam: Established Islamic digital content portal publishing articles, videos, and news for a global Muslim audience with similar editorial categories (family, Ramadan, Hajj, Quran). Directly comparable in content format and audience.
• ProductiveMuslim: Islamic lifestyle and productivity content platform publishing articles, videos, and courses. Overlaps on inspirational Islamic content and global English-speaking Muslim audience.
• The Muslim Vibe: Digital lifestyle and culture publication targeting young Western Muslims with articles, videos, and social media content. Directly comparable editorial positioning and channel mix.
• IslamiCity: One of the largest English-language Islamic content portals, offering articles, audio, and educational resources on Islam, Muslim history, and Quran. Closely comparable publishing model with longer operating history.
• MuslimMatters: Independent digital media platform producing long-form articles, podcasts, and videos on Islam, Muslim identity, and current affairs for a Western Muslim audience. Highly comparable in tone and target demographic.
• SoundVision: US-based Islamic media company producing audio, video, and written content for the Muslim community. Comparable multi-format publishing with longer operating history and broadcast heritage.

Broad incumbents

• Muslim Pro: The dominant Islamic mobile app (prayer times, Quran, Athan) used by 150M+ Muslims globally. Broader incumbent with much larger scale, technical depth, and institutional backing — useful as a benchmark for the ceiling of Islamic digital media reach.
