Wie zijn wij?

ONZE VISIE

MooMenn, wij hebben onze inspiratie gehaald uit de bescheidenheid die tot uiting komt in de kleding van moslimmannen. De naam “Moomenn” betekent “gelovige” in het Arabisch en met dit als basis van onze intentie om de speciaal voor moslims bestemde kleding te moderniseren, hebben we wonderen kunnen verrichten. Herenmode in de islam, met name de Sirwal en Qamis, is onaangeroerd gebleven en grotendeels gelaten zoals die is. Maar met een sterk geloof in Allah en zijn openbaringen om ons te leiden, streven wij ernaar creativiteit te brengen en het licht van de mode te laten schijnen op dit onontgonnen gebied. Islamitische kleding voor mannen Wij zagen het probleem met traditionele mannenkleding door van dichtbij te observeren hoe ongeschikt die was voor sociale bijeenkomsten, dagelijks gebruik, werk of street/urban kleding. Daarom zijn we begonnen aan een reis om onze eigen kledinglijn te introduceren die erop gericht is het modegevoel van moslimmannen nieuw leven in te blazen door hen ruime keuzemogelijkheden te bieden op basis van de structuur van Jubba, Qamis, Thobe, of Sirwal. At last, we—MOOMENN—have created a collection of fashionable, trendy, yet modest clothing, dedicated to the young and adult Muslim men to wear anytime, anywhere, for any occasion, all the while being proud of his identity and meaning within the dress code of Islam. We leave them with numerous options elicited from the traditional or classic Thobe, Jubba, Qamis, Sirwal, sharwal kameez en kurta.

OUR MISSION

Hoe brengen wij verandering teweeg? In bijna alle moslimculturen zijn de hierboven genoemde typen beperkt en voorbehouden aan gebruik voor het gebed of officiële gelegenheden. MOOMENN heeft echter een frisse en unieke toets gegeven aan de stof en de structuur van de kleding zelf. Door onze ontwerpen te dragen, zal de drager er onvermijdelijk casual/urban of sportief uitzien zonder zijn identiteit als moslim op te geven. Hoewel onze eerste prioriteit kleding is, zetten wij binnenkort ook stappen in andere herenmodesegmenten zoals verzorging en parfums. Al onze productlijnen hebben het potentieel om te voldoen aan uw verwachtingen van een casual of urban gestylede traditionele outfit.

Het MOOMENN‑team werkt dag en nacht om moslims over de hele wereld een one‑stop‑shop te bieden voor alle categorieën islamitische mode, van smart/casual wear en sportkleding tot badkleding, accessoires en meer, allemaal zonder concessies te doen aan onze islamitische identiteit en waarden, en terwijl we passen binnen elke samenleving waarin we leven.

ONZE GESCHIEDENIS 

In Islam, wearing nice clothes is allowed by all means as is evident from the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Quran. What isn’t allowed is extravagance or pride, which is translated as ‘looking down upon others’ by our Prophet (peace be upon him). Therefore, in a sense modest fashion is definitely allowed in Islam. Even if we look at the history of clothing amongst Muslims, we see this modesty in the form of flappy Sirwal and wide Qamis. In fact, throughout the ruling ages of Muslims such as Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphate, the Mamluk Sultanate, Ottoman Empire, Safavid Iran, the Mughal Empire, and all of those that aren’t mentioned here, there had been various forms of the Jubbah, Thobe, Qamis, and Sirwal. Although these names are more common in the rest of the Muslim world, including the Middle East and Africa, in Indian Subcontinent, there are different versions of these names; and therefore, different versions of the dress. “Shalwar” is worn to cover the lower body, while “Kameez” or “Kurta” are worn to cover the torso. The word Kurta can also be applied to a suit of Shalwar and Kameez sewn to form a certain fitting design. Sirwal, Qamis, and the rest of its derivatives are both for men and women. However, when it comes to women fashion, embellishment such as embroidery and different peripheral designs are applied. While this is also true for some regions in the men’s fashion, care is taken to make male clothes more modest and simple without the use of any vivid patterns.

ONS VERHAAL

After a major breakdown I had in 2016, I quit my job and travelled back home in North Africa, to join my parents where I’ve spent some time there to recover, that’s when I have had the chance to spend more time in the mosque and learn more about Islam to get closer to Allah.I couldn’t help but noticing then the lack of choice and variation in Islamic Casual/Fashion wear for Muslim Men, apart from the classic Kameez, Jubba or Thobe that you wear mostly for prayer or special occasions like Eid etc. and not really much for everyday wear.Being a Muslim Man who should care about his appearance, I used to combine casual clothing & traditional Islamic garments to get a more contemporary look yet meet our Islamic dress code, without feeling alienated by the society we live in, especially in the west. Few months later, by the guidance of Allah SWT I’ve felt the urge to do something, that's when I’ve started to shape up the idea of creating an Online Marketplace for Muslim Fashion and lifestyle, and that’s when the name “MOOMENN” came to my mind, which is an Arabic word that translates to “Believer”

Al Hamdoulillah I Launched the Online Marketplace early 2018, after few months of market research, which led to realise how so many young and adult Muslims around the world just like me, who needed not only Halal compliant Fashionwear but guidance as well, and so I began pursuing a dream to create a network of Modest clothing and accessories brands to build not only a hub of choices and variety for Muslims but creating an enriching content to learn more about our garments’ history and dress code.
