Lets start with the name

Why we named it Momina?

The name came relatively easy to us. In its essence, modesty in Islam is faith in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his message.

Momina means a faithful & truly believing woman.

This beautiful alignment between the words momina and modesty is why we named our business Momina Modestwear.
