The month of mercy and blessings is closely approaching, and with every passing day we ask Allah (S) to aid us in fasting and qiyam for those who witness Ramadan and, Ameen! Every year I enjoy rounding up as many Muslim-owned businesses that I can find in order to make a master list for you to get your Ramdan decor, books and essentials. It makes my heart so full to see the abundance in shops that are available to us now.
Growing up, many of us did not have as many options for ready-made decorations or beautifully-illustrated and well-written Islamic books. Some of my fondest memories of Ramadan were getting crafty with my siblings and mom, creating our own lanterns, putting up string lights and listening to my parents tell us the story of Laylatul Qadr and Prophet Muhamad’s (saw) revelations.
This year, instead of putting together another comprehensive list, (you can find the previous ones here with Ramadan 2021, Ramadan 2022), I have handpicked a select few who are donating and giving back to charitable causes and their communities. The recent devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria as well as ongoing crisis and needs for Muslims throughout the world has us thinking even more so at HH about how we can give back as we gear up for Ramadan.
While we are fortunate enough to prepare for Ramdan and celebrate this month in the comfort of our homes with beautiful items and resources, it’s important for us to think of those who are less fortunate, who are walking into this Ramadan without a home, with missing family members, and little food with which to break their fast. Giving charity is an essential part of Ramadan, so let’s embrace it by supporting businesses that create items we love, as well as provide some comfort for those in need.
And don't forget, if it's fresh hijabs you're looking for as you ready for Ramadan, Haute Hijab also will be giving a portion of its proceeds from Ramadan sales to earthquake relief and other causes!

This shop is one that I have personally purchased from, and the owner happens to be a good friend of mine.

6. Tawheed Treasures | Website | Instagram
Last, but most certainly not least, is Tawheed Treasures! This shop is another one near and dear to me. The owner is a great friend of mine and was also my science teacher growing up! I am truly so proud of the progress she has made in her business, with all things wood and inspired by the words of Allah (S). At Tawheed Treasures you can snag wooden Islamic-inspired kits for your little ones to paint and display in their playroom or bedrooms. They serve as a beautiful reminder of daily dhikr. You can also make custom wooden signs to display in your home and special occasions. I have personally made a number of these for my own children and gifted them to my family.
What I love most about Tawheed Treasures is that a portion of all purchases is part of an automatic monthly donation to a variety of trusted organizations and causes, such as Muslimmatters.org, PennyAppealUSA, Sapience Institute and featured campaigns on Launchgood.com.

As we decorate our homes to welcome Ramadan, let’s not forget that the essence of this month is to prepare our body, mind and soul for a spiritual recharge and reset. Finding shops that give back while also providing pieces for us to enrich our celebrations and sprinkle joy brings purpose to our spending and barakah in our wealth.
May Allah (S) make us of those who praise Him in our times of ease and show gratitude for His endless blessings upon us. May He increase us in the ability to think of and find ways to help those who are less fortunate, especially in our times of celebration. Ameen!
