Assalamualaykum, my dear sisters,
Alhamdulillah,
I have decided to make a section on my blog where you’ll find interviews and
stories from various Muslims that are striving to please Allah. This is the
second interview that I wrote here in my blog; the first one was 'Sincere advice for muslima on getting married'
Today, I’ve written about Modarina, one of my
favorite modest clothing brands locally that imports its products from the
Middle East. Their products are not only gorgeous but also of good quality. I
love the elegance and modesty of their clothing. It expresses something like,
This is us, Muslims; modesty is elegant, and you can only find elegance through
modesty.’ It gives us the confidence to show our identity as Muslims.
Disclaimer: This is not a paid article, but with
the generosity of our sister Umm Sarah, the CEO of Modarina, you can use this
voucher to get 20% off on their products, valid only this year 2023. Use voucher code Hayat20.
Of course, I want to know more about Modarina, which is why I decided to interview the person behind it. May Allah reward her for giving her time for this. And may you, my dear sister, benefit from it.
"I'm very passionate about promoting modest
fashion, hence I started my brand to create clothing that not only looks great
but also makes people feel confident and comfortable while being covered. This
is inspired by my journey to wear the Hijab way back in 2011. Way back in 2019,
there was a scarcity of abayas in the Philippines, and I believe that this type
of garment should be inclusive and accessible to everyone. We specialize in
selling Abayas from the Middle East, which means you’ll get an international
quality item. We use only the highest quality materials and production methods
to ensure that our garments are not only beautiful but also durable and
long-lasting.
Our mission is to provide modest and fashionable clothing options that empower Muslim individuals to express their faith and personal style with confidence. We aim to create inclusive and diverse designs that celebrate the beauty of modesty while adhering to Islamic principles. Our vision is to be the leading national Muslim clothing brand in the Philippines, globally recognized for our commitment to quality, innovation, and ethical practices. We strive to inspire and uplift our customers by offering a wide range of stylish and versatile garments that cater to their modest requirements. Through our brand, we aim to foster unity, self-expression, and cultural appreciation within the Muslim community and beyond.
Modarina believes that selling Muslim clothing allows us to address the demand for modest and culturally appropriate attire among Muslim individuals. By providing a diverse range of options, Modarina can help people find clothing that aligns with their religious beliefs and personal style. It can also be a way to empower individuals to embrace their faith and identity confidently. By offering stylish options, Modarina can help people feel beautiful, confident, and proud of their modesty. Through selling Muslim clothing, Modarina has the opportunity to promote cultural appreciation and understanding. By showcasing the beauty and diversity of Islamic fashion, Modarina can foster inclusivity and bridge cultural gaps."
And lastly, I asked her if she had any advice
for us sisters, and here’s her letter for you:
Dear Hijabi Sisters,
I want to take a moment to celebrate your strength,
resilience, and unwavering determination. You are an inspiration to those
around you and a beacon of light in a world that sometimes struggles to
understand diversity.
With every choice you make to wear your hijab, you showcase your deep-rooted faith, your identity, and your commitment to modesty. Your hijab is not just a piece of fabric; it is a symbol of your inner beauty, grace, and the immense power that lies within you.
In a society that often focuses on external appearances, you stand tall, confident, and unapologetically yourself. You demonstrate that true beauty comes from within, emanating through your kind heart, your brilliant mind, and your unwavering spirit.
Your hijab is a testament to your courage as you navigate a world that may not always understand or appreciate your choices. Despite the challenges you may face, you remain steadfast in your beliefs, refusing to compromise your values for the sake of societal norms.
Through your actions, you break stereotypes and challenge misconceptions, proving that strength and femininity can coexist harmoniously. You embody the essence of empowerment, reminding us all that one's true power lies in embracing who they are, authentically and unapologetically.
Never forget the impact you have on others, especially those who may be silently inspired by your presence. Your hijab is a symbol of unity, bridging gaps and fostering understanding among diverse cultures and religions. By embracing your identity, you encourage dialogue, education, and acceptance in a world that often yearns for them.
As you go about your daily life, remember that you are not alone. You are part of a vibrant, diverse community of hijabis who support and uplift each other. Together, you create a tapestry of strength, resilience, and beauty that is unparalleled.
So, dear Hijabi, continue to shine brightly, radiating love, compassion, and grace wherever you go. Your hijab is a crown that adorns your head and reflects the beauty that resides within your soul. Embrace it, cherish it, and wear it with pride.
You are an inspiration, a trailblazer, and a force to be reckoned with. May your journey be filled with endless blessings, unwavering peace, and the knowledge that you are loved, cherished, and admired.
With utmost Admiration,
Modarina
Alhamdulillah, I just want to express my
appreciation and happiness that I was never wrong to interview Umm Sarah. I am
inspired and motivated by her words. And I hope that you, my sister, find this
article beneficial. And don't forget to use your Voucher Hayat20 .Until next time. Assalamualaykum.
