Our plans moving forward.

With a successful Launch Good campaign, we'll be able to continuously release clothing with creative designs at an affordable price. We will also be able to expand to different types of clothing in the future. Finally, if God permits, we hope to become the "Urban Outfitters" of Muslim brands by offering a venue for brands to sell their designs, accessories, art, music, and even furniture and other goods. The future for Muslim art and expression is bright!

Our most popular shirts. From left to right: Qibla in the Heavens, Bless Up, and Duas From The 6ix.

Muslims have a problem.

And that problem is a cultural problem. Islam is a huge part of our identity, but our culture doesn't allow it to contribute to what it means to be cool or proud. In some cases, we even distance ourselves from Islam in our art or clothing to seem "cooler". That needs to change, and we're here to do that through clothing.

Why we're different.

We focus on creating clothing that conveys powerful messages, exhibits creativity, and generates reactions. Many clothing options targeted to Muslims are either dry of any fashion-sense or distance themselves from being explicitly Islamic. We want Muslims to feel empowered about their religion when they wear their clothes, and we want them to look good while doing it.  

Dedicated to staying ethical.

You can rest assured when purchasing from Next Ummah, as all of our shirts are not only printed in America, but also manufactured in America. This means absolutely no abuse, child labor, or sweatshops are involved in the creation of our clothing.


We always knew he was a superhero: Malcolm X-Men.

How you can help (and save up to 25%).

By supporting this Launch Good campaign, you'll be one of the first to get your hands on Next Ummah's clothing. You'll also be saving up to 25% and receiving free domestic shipping on the original price by ordering through the Launch Good.

*All customers outside of the U.S. MUST order through our website: nextummahapparel.com*

Domestic orders will come in before Eid ul-Adha 2016, so do yourself a favor and make Eid shopping a little easier this year.


About Me: 

My name is Ali Mahmoud, and I'm a medical student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. I have this constant urge inside myself to produce content that contributes to the culture of Muslims in America and, in turn, the global Muslim culture. 

I believe Muslims have a lot of work to do when it comes to making strides in some important segments of our society, including politics, academia, and mainstream culture. I'm really interested in getting Islam and Muslims in the mainstream. That means we need more Muslim actors, musicians, athletes, and filmmakers that adequately represent the best interests of Muslims in this country. 

But before we can get to that point, we need to produce a generation of Muslims that has not only come to terms with its own identity and religion, but sees Islam as a point of pride and inspiration. We need an empowered Ummah that does not shy away from the Muslim sounding names or Muslim clothing. And once we get a critical mass of Muslims in the mainstream who are not only confident and proud but excellent in their craft, real will recognize real. We will multiply.

So this is my first small contribution in that direction. My goal is to make at least one Muslim kid proud enough of his or her religion to show it. If I have done that, then I'll be satisfied. 


Best,

Ali

Home Stretch!

We're so close! 

We're less than $800 short of our goal.

That's less than 30 shirts. Remember, the campaign is all-or-nothing, so if we don't reach our goal, it's possible that we won't be able to fulfill our orders.

Can you personally reach out (i.e. text, email, facebook message, phone call) to 5 people you know who would be interested in Next Ummah and pass on this link, encouraging them to support our start up? 

Here's the link: launchgood.com/nextummahapparel

Thank you so much for the support. We wouldn't be able to do this without you guys.

Getting closer!

Salaams everyone!

We are almost only $2,000 away from our goal with less than 3 days remaining. We've seen a ton of progress over the last few days, and it's all because of you!

To help us overcome this last hurdle, you can definitely help the following.

1. Share our Facebook video on your wall and in any Muslim Facebook groups you're a part of. This has had an immense impact on our campaign so far!

2. Reach out to friends and loved ones that you feel like would be interested in what we do!

With your help, we can reach our goal and take everything we've done so far to the NEXT step. Who's with us?

God bless!

Lazarus

The Next Ummah Apparel Launch Good campaign is back from the dead. With 4 days left and 50% of our goal to go, it's time to spread the word long and far.

Just like last time, we request the following:

1. Please share this Facebook video. Once again, more shares means that this video will appear on more newsfeeds.

2. Please share the LaunchGood campaign with anyone who you think would love to support us.

Thank you Next Ummah family! Together we can do this.

The Clock Is Ticking

Dear Next Ummah Family,

Thank you so much for your support. We are overwhelmed with gratitude and so honored to see so much love for our work. This has been an amazing experience so far. We really a truly hope to make Next Ummah a means of building Muslim culture for young Muslims to look up to. You are a part of that, and may God reward you all.


With that being said, we've almost hit the 50% mark with only 1 day left. Our campaign ends tomorrow night. Most campaigns raise the most money in their last few days. We can do this! 

Because this is an all-or-nothing campaign, everything is on the line. If you really hope to make Next Ummah a reality, please consider helping in the following ways: 

1. Share this LaunchGood with your friends and family. Texting, private Facebook messages, or even sliding into someone's DM's works the best.  

2. Go to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nextummahco/ and share our video that is pinned on our Facebook. When a video is shared enough times, it's the first thing people see on their feeds. Consider sharing it in any Muslim Facebook groups you're a part of (MSA Facebook group, Muslim citywide group)

Once again, thank you so much for your support! Let's keep on keeping on!

Regards,

Ali from Next Ummah
