==History==
''Daily Ummat'' was founded in 1996 by Abdul Rafiq Afghan and family.<ref name="mom-rsf">{{Cite web|url=http://pakistan.mom-rsf.org/en/media/detail/outlet/ummat/|title=Ummat|website=[[Reporters Without Borders]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2021-08-21|title=Ummat Chief Editor Rafiq Afghan passes away|url=https://www.samaa.tv/news/2021/08/ummat-chief-editor-rafeeq-afghan-passes-away/|access-date=2021-10-13|work=Samaa TV|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=2021-08-03|title=APNS, KPC, KUJ, politicians grieved over journalist's death|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/872575-apns-kpc-kuj-politicians-grieved-over-journalist-s-death|access-date=2021-10-13|work=The News International (newspaper)|language=en}}</ref>
==Coverage==
Adopting the motto, "we show all that others hide", the ''Daily Ummat'' practices comprehensive news coverage.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> It has long reported on the intersection of [[crime]], [[ethnic violence]], and [[politics]] in Karachi, frequently attributing these issues to the [[Muttahida Qaumi Movement – London|Muttahida Qaumi Movement]] (MQM).<ref name="mom-rsf"/> This criticism towards MQM can be traced back to allegations surrounding the death of Abdul Rafiq Afghan’s father-in-law, Maulana Salahuddin, as well as past conflicts in [[student politics]].<ref name="mom-rsf"/>
==Political stance==
''Daily Ummat'' has a distinctively pro-Islamist stance.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> It actively promotes causes such as actions in the [[India-administered Kashmir]] and opposition to western forces in [[Afghanistan]].<ref name="mom-rsf"/> The newspaper routinely covers instances of alleged or actual [[Islamophobia|discrimination against Muslims]] worldwide.<ref name="mom-rsf"/>
The paper stands in strong support of Pakistan's [[blasphemy in Pakistan|anti-blasphemy laws]], as well as other legislation in the country inspired by Islamic principles.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> The editorial content is noted for its focus on the [[Ahmadiyya in Pakistan|Ahmadi community]], a minority sect that identifies as Muslim but is legally prohibited from publicly affirming this identity.<ref name="mom-rsf"/>
The newspaper also exhibits clear ideological demarcations in its content.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> It often presents moderate, liberal, and leftist figures under a critical lens, irrespective of their societal or national contributions.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> On the other hand, it tends to withhold critique from favored entities and individuals, who are mainly Islamist politicians, extremist preachers, jihadists, or anti-Shia militants.<ref name="mom-rsf"/>
The newspaper uses front-page advertisements to rally public support on religious issues.<ref name="mom-rsf"/> For instance, it called on Karachi's citizens to 'reclaim' a mosque demolished by city authorities due to its unauthorized establishment on a public park.<ref name="mom-rsf"/>
