| Islamica produces the Taifa Al-Mansoura brand, a label that specifically targets an audience interested in Islamic apparel in the modern sphere. Taifa Al-Mansoura, which means The Victorious Group in Arabic, primarily consists of Islamic calligraphy and quotes from the righteous predecessors and our beloved prophet, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. Our goal is to provide high quality products to help begin conversations about dawah, remind us about our lord, and to remain fashionable in a modern environment. | |||

| The term, Taifa Al-Mansoura, originates from the sahih hadith in Tirmidhi in which our beloved noble prophet Muhammad, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, mentions that there will be one sect saved out of all others. Taifa Al-Mansoura, the saved sect, refers to a group of pious Muslims. Many Muslims wish to present their Islam in a way that does not alienate non-Muslims, for the sake of integration and understanding, but also for the sake of dawah. The Taifa Al-Mansoora brand aims to help this audience achieve this desired image that such Muslims wish to display. | |||

The brand appeal is targetted at the Muslim audience who deeply share common concerns for the Muslim ummah, and who aspire to be of those who perform their religious duties at the very pinnacle of Islam. | |||

| Islamica distributes the Al-Farooq brand, this label is aimed at individuals with a deep desire to struggle for Islam on it’s most fundamental levels. Al-Farooq, which means the arrival of the Chief in Arabic, primarily consists of Qur’anic verses, quotes from therighteous predecessors in references to struggling for Islam, original phrases and statements of our beloved prophet, may Allahs’ peace and blessings be upon him, and from other notable Islamic personalities. Our goal is to provide high quality products to encourage Muslims to fulfill their obligations, remind us about our lord, and to remain presentable in a Western environment while still emphasizing core Islamic values. | |||

| Al-Farooq reminds Muslims of their most core fundamental values, specifically the intense struggle to promote Islam in the best of ways, and to uplift oppression. They aim, and we aim, to help Muslims to enjoin in good in their daily lives, and to forbid evil in a contemporary setting. | |||
