Who We Are?

Ar-Raqib is more than a modest fashion and lifestyle store — it’s a family business built on faith, values, and community. Based in the heart of Bearwood Road, Smethwick, we’ve always believed in treating every customer like family, offering products that uplift lives: abayas, thobes, hijabs, perfumes, oils, wellness items, and thoughtful gift hampers.

The Challenge We Face

Like many small businesses, we’ve been hit hard by rising costs, debts, and reduced footfall. Despite working tirelessly, our business is struggling to survive — and without help, we risk closing the doors on a place that has served and supported the local community for years.

Why We Need Your Help

We are asking for your support to revive Ar-Raqib, secure stock, pay off urgent debts, and relaunch with strength. With your help, we can continue to provide:

✅ Affordable modest fashion for all ages

✅ A welcoming community hub on Bearwood Road

✅ Local jobs and training for young people

✅ A voice for ethical, faith-driven business

Our Goal

We’re aiming to raise £15,000 to cover:

• Clearing urgent debts to secure our business

• Restocking essential items (abayas, hijabs, thobes)

• Expanding our gift hampers & wellness line

• Marketing to rebuild footfall and online reach

Why Support Us?

Supporting Ar-Raqib isn’t just about saving a shop — it’s about saving a community space, a family’s dream, and a business that serves with heart, honesty, and humility.

Jazakallahu Khairan!!!

May Allah Swt bless you all..... Aameen Ya Rabbal A'lameen
