Asalaamu Alaykum!
We are Lubna Saadeh and Shahzia Rahman from sunny Southern California and the founders of QUADM, The Modern Market for the Muslimah Maker - a brand created to empower Muslim women in business with unique talents, points of views and women who want to make a difference in their community. It is imperative for the Muslim woman to be a part of the economic fabric in our country so that we may establish roots here for generations to come. We are extremely passionate about providing opportunities for all women out there who believe in our vision of supporting one another and having a space where collaborations and unique visions come together to empower each other as a whole. Whether it's something that is handmade, bought, designed, represented, curated or a service or talent you provide, we welcome you to join our mission. We have different events throughout the year so please stay in touch.
We pray for the tawfeeq (success) for everyone involved in this project. This is just the beginning, in sha Allah (God willing).
xoxo-
Lubna & Shaz
About Us
Empowering Muslim Women in Business & Creative Endeavors
QUADM simply began as a market to support muslim female entrepreneurs, however it evolved into so much more. Through business and creative endeavors, we are here to support Muslim women on their journey from dreaming to owning their own Business. We began in 2017 and pray it continues to be a beneficial and integral factor in the Muslim community.
QUADM is an event for the whole family which celebrates the Muslim Small Business! A curated market that focuses on creativity, passion, and skilled Muslim Brands all under one roof. Since 2017, our focus has been building a brand that focuses on uniting female businesses in a professional, heartfelt, and community like environment. We work on ways to create an experience for the vendor and attendee in a way unlike your typical market. Recently, we've been recognized by the Mayor of Irvine in Orange County in 2022 and 2023 as a contributing force in a city of 300,000.
We are at a pivotal moment where we've seen a shift in the way Muslims spend their money. Customers are now shopping more consciously and choosing where they spend and the brands they decide to support. When we started QUADM, our mission was to create opportunities for Muslims to support and shop Muslim and to help our Muslimah brands to branch out and provide their products and services to the broader community. Now it has evolved to help our Muslim community also make purchasing decisions in a more impactful way. This will help strengthen our ummah and add barakah to our concerted efforts. We pray that our mission is one that continues to help facilitate this and we hope you can join us, in sha Allah.
What makes us different? We work on all the details that help turn QUADM into an elevated event for more than just shopping. We are always working on ways to make your time at QUADM an intentional experience, and one to remember. As a vendor, you will be supported by us on your business journey. We meet you where you are and help guide you to grow your business in ways we think can be more successful, not just for the day of the event but in a way that lasts well beyond our Market, in shaa Allah. We are here to help YOU be the best version of yourself- this is a collaboration, not a competition. We believe in this whole-heartedly. As an attendee we promise this will be an unforgettable experience.
