In 2018, Aysha (Founder of Muslimah) was out shopping when she encountered a problem many Muslim women face regularly:
where can I pray? Even though there may be many local mosques, a lot of prayer areas do not accommodate for females and so Aysha had no choice but to miss her prayer - a fundamental part of practicing Islamic faith. Aysha knew this had to change. Thus, the idea for Muslimah was born.
Launched in September 2020, Muslimah has seen over 600 downloads in two weeks of going live. Muslimah has been shortlisted for the Islam Channel Technology Award 2020, presented to Her Majesty the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge and won the Idea Factory 2019 competition from over 200 applicants.
Our team is diverse: from students to civil servants and doctors with different personalities, backgrounds and abilities, we understand what it is like to balance a busy lifestyle and faith. We are all united by our drive to empower Muslim women and we aim to ensure that no stone is left unturned, whether it is helping to keep count of missed fasts during Ramadan or creating reminders to recite supplications during a hectic day. We are working towards creating a comprehensive tool to help the Muslim woman fulfil her obligations.
