About Sanad

In Islamic scholarship, a sanad is the chain of narrators that carries a report back to its source. A hadith is only as strong as its sanad. We think news should work the same way.

Sanad is an independent news site for Muslims everywhere — and for anyone who wants to understand Muslim communities better. We cover:

• World and regional news — the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America and Oceania.
• Humanitarian coverage — Yemen, Sudan, Palestine, Ukraine and every crisis where people need help, with clear ways to support verified relief.
• Dawah and community — open-mosque days, reverts’ stories, local organisations and the events that bring us together.
• Youth and social — the creators, campus movements and online conversations young Muslims are part of.
• Good news — because generosity, faith and progress are news too.

Our promise

Every story on Sanad ends with its own sanad: the sources we relied on, linked wherever possible. We separate reporting from opinion, we correct mistakes openly, and we never publish rumours as fact. Read our full editorial standards.
