Just in time for Ramadan, Sharrima Sulaiman officially opened “The Ummah Shop” at the King Of Prussia Mall on Saturday, April 10.
The Ummah Shop, which offers products unique to the Muslim faith, is a first-of-its-kind specialty store designed to appeal to the estimated 270,000 Muslims in the Delaware Valley area. For now, the store will only operate during the month of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims in which they fast from dawn to dust amongst fulfilling other religious acts.
“As a Muslim mom and wife, I spent many Ramadan days driving from one end of the city to the next to purchase Ramadan staples and Eid gifts,” Sulaiman said.
