Many years ago, I was inspired by the Islamic books and media that I was exposed to, as a teenager & growing adult during which I had nurtured the idea of setting up an Islamic centre that will cater for the lifestyle needs of Muslims.

Specifically, I was drawn to a lecture by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Hanson – on the “Islamic Educational System” which deeply analyzed the impact of early Islamic education on children and how it opens their intellect for greater achievements in the Dunya, for the Akhira, and this struck a chord… How do I go about this?

Fast-forward to 2009 a year after I had Ameena, I felt the need to start up practising all that I read regarding early Islamic education, so I launched Meena collections and brought to Nigeria for the first time, Desi Doll’s Amina & Yusuf Muslim talking dolls, which was a hit in the market. Others included DVDs, games, stickers, books and we hit the ground.

Amidst personal challenges & hiccups, I took the backstage and nurtured the company only in my head. With several ideas, concepts and dreams wrapped around tons of Du’a, the business resumed years later, rebranded as Meena’s Muslimart.

Where our goal is to make you feel the Deen from the cradle to the grave.
