Our Featured Muslimah Brand of this edition is Melanie Elturk. She went from being a civil rights lawyer to becoming the founder of the leading US hijab brand, Haute Hijab .

Melanie struggled with the fear of combining capitalism with a religious garment and what it meant to say that hijab can be fashionable or profitable. Eventually, she was convinced that Muslim women wear hijab out of devotion to God. And that remains her sailing power.

Creating a strong connection between community-building, sustainability, and faith, the Islamic fashion icon stands out for comprehensively servicing the hijab category, with designs for every occasion from office, to workout and wedding day.

Commenting on funding the business, Melanie said "We started with a $5,000 loan from Ahmed's (husband and business partner) parents. And then a year later we started our seed round." Haute Hijab has currently raised $2.3 million in their latest financing round.

Cheers to a sustainable Muslimah brand. 🥂

We're rooting for you 💗

In this edition of Featured Muslimah Brand, our spotlight is on Ms. Ingar. She is a final year Medical student at King's College London and founder of the first Islamic app for Muslim women - 'Muslimah'. We are inspired by how she transformed her personal experience into a solution for Muslim women.

Aysha experienced difficulties in locating prayer spaces in her community while out of home, despite being familiar with the local area. A search on the web provided inadequate information and a lack of clarity on whether there were designated areas for women. She often resorted to praying in public, and more often, missed her prayers altogether. She was determined to solve the same problem many Muslim women face regularly, although she had no technology background, no previous experience, and no startup capital. This is the story behind ‘Muslimah’.

'Muslimah' is an app created to provide Islamic services for modern Muslim women. It allows the user to integrate the many aspects of faith with day-to-day life through features deliberately designed by a Muslim woman for Muslim women. One of the awesome features of the app is the ‘prayer space locator’ that locates all available places of worship, displays whether Muslim women can pray there, provides information about opening hours, availability of hijab, contact details, and more. The app is credited for making it easy for Muslim women to fit life around faith with just a tap on the smartphone.

For her disruptive innovation, Aysha Ingar won the King's College, London's 2019 Idea Factory competition during her third year studying medicine. She is a member of the King's 20 Accelerator and was honoured to present 'Muslimah' to Her Majesty, the Queen.

Muslimah is available to download on the App Store and Google Play Store. Download now at www.muslimahapp.com.
P.S. Currently available in the United Kingdom.

We hope this amazing Muslimah brand inspires you. 💗

On Souk Khutbah today, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef of AlMaghrib Institute reminds us that doing business was the practice of most of our greatest predecessors. From Abubakar, to Umar, Khadijah (R.A), and the greatest of mankind, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), we have amazing examples of phenomenal Muslim business founders. They were exceptional both in striving for the pleasure of the world and the goodness of the hereafter.

If you are a Muslim woman in business, you need to raise the bar by aiming for the highest standard in your business. It begins with the mindset! Ours is a legacy of high standards and we are the vicegerents of the pristine teachings of Islam.

May you find the pleasure of Allah in all your affairs in this world and the hereafter.

Shaykh Muhammad is hosting a 5-day 'Show Me the Souk' challenge for Muslims who want to raise the bar in their lives. Check it out on his page.

We are rooting for you, amazing Muslimah 💗

Assalaam 'alaykum warahmatuLlah, Muslims of the world.

First of all, introduction... 😃

I'm your sister, Fateemah Ibraheem , the Muslimah brand cheerleader 💗.

It feels good to eventually make this public after shelfing the idea 2 years ago. I started working with Muslimah start ups some years back with one paramount goal in mind: to connect Muslimah brands with the global market. Now, I'm taking a giant stride towards that goal by launching Muslimah Brand, a Muslimah-business-oriented media agency.

My background at a glance:

Fateemah Ibraheem is an adept communication consultant, proficient data analyst, experienced public relations/advertising/marketing professional, skilled broadcaster, certified digital marketer, and accomplished educator. She deploys her rare combination of industry experiences to empower brands with data-driven communication strategies.

She founded Educom Africa , an education media agency, to link Africans to global education opportunities, and support education entrepreneurs with data-driven brand promotion.

To bridge the skills gap between school-based knowledge and the skills required for future careers, she launched Unlockstar Club , the world’s first standardised and validated talent-building digital programme designed by child cognitive development experts for children of age 3 to 14.

Fateemah has a successful track record managing projects at the intersection of education, communication, and marketing. She works with Government, organisations, and corporate individuals to deliver innovative and data-driven communication solutions.

For leisure, she enjoys tourism, beach parties and cycling. She’s the biggest fan of her 2 boys. And she loves women who are goal getters.
