Born and raised as a Muslim, Islamic business is something that I’ve been exposed to very early in life. This is probably why I’ve chosen to share 4 interesting Islamic businesses and business blogs that I recently came across.
The idea is to highlight how entrepreneurs have found these opportunities and help people who wish to use these products and services to do so with ease.

Hijab
Islamic clothing is emerging as a huge business opportunity. Loose garments that are modest and fashionable are something that every discerning Muslim buyer is looking for.
Shukronline.com is a great place to buy clothes and accessories for men, women and children. An Indian start up that right now operates from home and sells online through a Facebook page is the Hijab Design Studio.
The tunics and trench coats on offer at Islamic shopping sites are also trendy enough for use by people who don’t wear hijab.
Forum for Working Muslim Women
With a spurt in the number of Muslim women working from home, Umm Yusuf, a working Muslimah herself decided it was high time that someone started a forum where these women entrepreneurs could come for advice, support and promote their business as well.
Thus was born the muslimahsworkingathome.com, which functions as a one stop resource for Muslim women who run small businesses and home based ventures. Free business reviews and success stories are all there to inspire the aspiring Muslim businesswoman.
