"If you’re not going to wear it right, you might as well take it off."

How many of us hijabis have heard this phrase one time or another?

In Islam, nūr (which means “light” in Arabic) is a concept with deep spiritual meaning. This isn’t just any light; it represents a person’s inner glow, spiritual enlightenment, purity, and divine presence. It reflects someone’s faith, goodness, and closeness to Allah.

Asalamualykum my sisters!  I’m so excited to share with you the story of ShamsWaQamar, the brand of my dreams. As a 21-year-old fashion obsessed hijabi, I wanted to create a space where modesty and style beautifully intertwine.
