Muslims need greeting cards too
I grew up christian and as christians we sent greeting cards for every occasion, birthdays, holidays, thank-yous, the small things and the big ones. When I became Muslim, I looked for the same habit in my new life. It barely existed.
Something was missing
Before my shahada, cards were just what you did. You picked one up for Christmas, for a friend who was ill, for someone getting married. It was normal. It was how you told people you cared without needing a long speech.
After I took my shahada, I still wanted that. I wanted to post something beautiful when my sister had a baby, or when a friend lost someone, or when Eid came round. I searched. You might find a handful on Etsy for Eid or Ramadan if you dig. But a nikkah? A newborn? A gentle note to say you are thinking of someone? Almost nothing. Islamic greeting cards were not really a thing.
So I started making them myself. I design every card myself, from the layout to the colours to the wording inside. I care about the paper weight, the fold, the message inside, the way a card sits in your hand before you write in it. UMRASTORE is my way of filling that gap: giving Muslims the same simple, lovely way to send love and greetings that other communities have had for years.
“We deserve cards for all of it, not just the two everyone remembers.”
How we work
Every occasion
Not just Eid and Ramadan. Weddings, new babies, condolences, a simple thinking-of-you. Those days need a card too.
Made properly
Thick card, a short message or dua inside, and packing that does not feel cheap. Nothing flimsy. Nothing rushed.
Designed by me
Every card in the collection is my own work.
