An entrepreneur has established an excellent new Islamic
company which is serving the British Muslims, specially the Muslims in London.
There are about 1.8 million Muslims in the UK which is 3%
of the total British population. From this, 1 million Muslims are situated in London alone. Although
not all Muslims look like or practice Islam properly but there are an
increasing number of people practicing Islam in Britain. Women wear Jilbabs and
Abayas to cover their body modestly and Hijabs and Niqabs to cover their heads
and faces respectfully as it is a praiseworthy and necessary aspect of a Muslim’s
faith. Men keep beards as it is regarded as Wajib according to the Ulama of the
Hanafi school of thought. Other schools render it important too. Muslim men
wear Islamic clothes such as Hats, Thoubs, Jubbas, Qamees and etc. This is seen
in the month of Ramadhan more often than other times of the year.
In the British Muslim community, there is a growing demand
growing for Muslim businesses where services and Islamic items and necessary things
can be found. Some entrepreneurs have seen this gap and took this opportunity
to make available the things that a Muslim needs to live a normal Islamic life
with comfort in Britain.
Such is the case with Olive. Olive has managed to establish itself to provide
Madrasah uniform to a number of full time and evening Islamic schools in London.
It saw that Muslims need to go to Islamic stores in person
to buy clothes that they need or want which can be hard often due to being far
from the shop. Hence Olive has opened its online shop which can be accessed on www.oliveonline.co.uk.
To its website more accessible, it has created a marketing campaign
on Facebook (www.facebook.com/oliveonline.islamicstore) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/shop_olive). On Olive’s website, traditional and classical Abayas, Jilbabs, overcoats,
Hijabs, Niqabs, Burqas for women and Jubbas, Thoubs, Hats for men can be found.
There are often offers that are available on the site and specially for its customers
from Facebook. Dua to the success, Olive now has some clothes in its own brand.
Olive’s managing director said that his intention from beginning was “to make Islamic
goods and clothes available to the Muslim community so that Muslims can present
themselves as Muslims and practice Islam comfortably affordably”.
