There is a group of people Allah loved so much, He said their name twice.
Was-Sabiqoon. As-Sabiqoon.
The forerunners. The ones who race toward good. And that was enough.
No further description needed. No list of deeds.
Just their identity, their reward, and how much Allah loves them.
The Story
My name is Haaris Madaha. I was born in the Bronx, raised in Ghana by my grandmother, and came back to America chasing something I couldn't name yet. I've been memorizing the Quran for three years alongside college — six to nine at the masjid, four days a week, exhausted and still going. It is not easy at all.
Why SABIQOON Exists
SABIQOON wasn't born to be a business.
It was born at an Islamic event where I looked around at what Muslims were wearing and felt nothing. No depth. No story. No reflection of what I actually believed or who I was trying to become. Arabic on a hoodie. Quotes on a tee. Our faith wasn't actually represented on the clothes.
And then I went to Umrah.
I stood surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people at the Ka'bah and I watched people weep from just seeing it. I felt nothing at all. I thought about every time I'd woken up at 4AM to train, every sacrifice I'd made for things that wouldn't follow me past this life. Even though I didn't feel what they did at the time, I can still compete. I just hadn't aimed it at the right thing yet.
What This Brand Is
SABIQOON is a manifestation of that goal.
This brand is not for a type of Muslim. It's for every Muslim: the lonely one, the hafiz, the one who slipped, the one barely holding on, the one racing ahead. Competition never ends and none of us finish it alone.
What we wear should reflect that.
Every piece of SABIQOON will have meaning. Every color is chosen deliberately. Every name, every detail, every design exists for a reason — because in Islam, nothing is random. We pray five times a day for a reason. Ramadan is thirty days, not thirty one. And the clothes on your back should be no different.
Islam should not be modest fashion or merch. It needs to represent our identity.
Was-Sabiqoon. As-Sabiqoon.
Allah said it twice. We're still trying to be worthy of it once.
Only a Few.
