313
The beginningA founding circle willing to help: with a contribution, an introduction, a community partnership or their time.
25,000
The first milestoneOur aim: NexusG8 in the hands of 25,000 people, and at least 10,000, through ten organizations, over the next four months. We’re ready for it. We’ve spent this whole year planning and preparing, and everything we could do to get it done, we’ve done.
2 billion+
The ambitionTo serve the world’s @Handles as humans: a free identity of their own to claim, to help protect their dignity. It starts with the global Muslim community, the 2 billion+ we hope this can one day serve. An aspiration, not a forecast or a promise.
The few don’t replace the many. They make it possible for the many to find one another.
01 From Usman
Designed, tested and ready to serve. It just needs a few of us to help carry it for everyone else.
I’m Usman Waheed. Some of you know me as The Muslim Capitalist. Many of you have known me a lot longer than that.
For more than 25 years I’ve built businesses and community initiatives, and connected people with opportunities: the iSAY Foundation, BAYA, BYNY and my own companies. Over the last decade I became focused on one problem. Our communities are full of talent, and they can’t find each other.
For the last five years I’ve been building NexusG8. It took real sacrifice from my family, especially my wife, Saima (may Allah bless her for putting up with me). And many of you in New York and New Jersey have barely seen or heard from me in all that time.
I’m not asking you to fund another five years of development. I’m asking you to help put five years of finished work into the hands of the first 25,000 people.
Usman
The people are already here.The talent is already here.The opportunities are already here.And now, Alhamdulillah, so is the infrastructure.
02 How you can help
Four ways to help. Pick whichever fits.
$50,000
Four months of rollout: 10 organizations and a goal of 25,000 people, with 10,000 the floor. It pays to put what’s built to work, not to rebuild it or research it.

Help financially
Give any amount, or take a place in the 313. Both go to the same work, and they’re different things, so here’s each one plainly.
Give any amount
A gift to Mecca Digital LLC, sent from your own bank or Venmo. Put your name and email in the memo so I can thank you properly.
Zellethemuslimcapitalist@gmail.com
Venmo@meccadigitalOpen Venmo

NexusG8 is built by Mecca Digital LLC, a company and not a charity. A gift or a place isn’t tax-deductible, and it isn’t a loan or an investment: it buys no shares, no interest and no return. Giving more than $600? Reach out to me directly. Read this before you give.

Make an introduction
Know a masjid, an organization or a person who should see this? One introduction to an organization that installs NexusG8 can be worth more than most contributions.
3
Explore NexusG8
See it for yourself, or make your own. Nobody has to do this before helping, and making your own is free.

Discuss investment
If you’d rather invest than give, that’s a separate, private conversation with proper paperwork. Nothing on this page is an offer of securities.
03 What you’d be helping
See what’s already built.
NexusG8 is identity and coordination infrastructure: Community-led Intelligence & Infrastructure-as-a-Service, or CIaaS. It isn’t another social network. Your Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and website stay where they are. NexusG8 connects them, through communities you already trust, and you control what you share.
04 Why 313
“I don’t see this as a donation. I see it as a communal obligation (Fard-Kifaya) and pray that Allah accepts it.”
Usman Waheed, Founder
A small group that stands united for Allah’s cause could help the 2 Billion+ who are scattered.
313 is the number traditionally remembered for those who stood at Badr. We don’t compare ourselves to them, and 313 isn’t a number Allah set for this work. It’s a reminder of what a few people can begin when they’re sincere and they don’t divide.
Allah’s Hand is with the group. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The Hand of Allah is with the united community.”Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 2166
I believe that building infrastructure which helps Muslims fulfill communal responsibilities may deserve consideration as fard kifaya. That’s my personal conviction, which I’ve discussed with scholars. It isn’t a religious ruling, and it places no duty on you to support NexusG8. Nothing here promises a reward, a return or an outcome. Help only if you’re at peace with it, and if you can’t, I’ll be just as glad to reconnect.
كَم مِّن فِئَةٍۢ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةًۭ كَثِيرَةًۢ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ
“How many a small group has overcome a large group by Allah’s permission.”
Qur’an 2:249وَلَقَدْ نَصَرَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍۢ وَأَنتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌۭ
“And Allah had already given you victory at Badr, when you were few in number.”
Qur’an 3:123وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًۭا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟
“Hold firmly together to the rope of Allah, and do not be divided.”
Qur’an 3:103وَلَا تَنَٰزَعُوا۟ فَتَفْشَلُوا۟ وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ
“Do not dispute with one another, or you will lose heart and your strength will depart.”
Qur’an 8:46إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا۟ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
“Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.”
Qur’an 13:11مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى
The believers are like one body: when one part aches, the whole body responds.
Sahih Muslim 2586, and in Bukhari
05 The wall
Real numbers. Nothing made up.
A brick is a place in the 313, laid when its payment clears. We’d rather show you a nearly empty wall than a full one we invented. Gifts, introductions and time matter just as much. They just aren’t counted as bricks, and a name only shows if its owner chooses.

06 The record
Read this before you give.
Built and live
- NexusG8 is live.Home Pages, Community Nexuses and the Command Center run today.
- The wall is real.The number on this page is the number.
- Your Pro is yours.A place unlocks Pro on its first payment and keeps it after the sixth.
What is true today, and what is not
NexusG8 is a company, not a charity.
Contributions fund the build. They are not tax-deductible and they buy no ownership, no shares and no vote. They go to Mecca Digital LLC.
A gift is a gift.
It buys no shares, no note and no share of revenue, and it isn’t a loan. If the target isn’t reached, work continues at the pace the money allows, which is slower. Nothing is refunded and nothing is held in escrow, so give only what you’re content to give either way.
Investing is a separate conversation.
Nothing on this page is an offer of securities.
Payouts have not started.
The community share is how the program is written, not money anybody has been sent. The Partner Terms that govern it take effect 9 November 2026.
The Public Utility & Endowment (waqf) is the intention, not yet the instrument.
Half of eligible net profit going to community trusts is a proposed covenant. It needs adoption and governance before it binds anything.
The community share is conditional.
Half of a defined margin for an approved verified community, a fifth for an approved unverified one. Verification is earned, never bought: no plan and no sponsorship buys the badge.
Nexus Cards and Nexus Gates are pre-orders.
They ship from December 2026.
The Standing is counted by hand.
There is no automatic grant and no live counter yet.
