Our Story

Before Madinah and before the brand, we were just two best friends working side by side in a nursery in the UK. Surrounded by the joy and innocence of children, we shared laughter, heartfelt moments, and the start of something much greater than we could imagine.

But Allah had something more written for us.

Without telling each other, both of us had the same dream — to leave behind the comfort of the known and make Hijrah to the blessed city of Madinah. That dream quietly grew in both of our hearts, and by Allah’s mercy, just a few years later we were reunited as neighbours in the very city we once only dreamed of.

From that journey, Yaa Ukhti came to life.

What started as a shared vision became a brand built on modesty, purpose, and pride. Our pieces are designed with intention — to make women feel confident, beautiful, and deeply connected to their values. Inspired by our own journey, we aim to bring elegance and dignity to the Western Muslimah, without compromise.

This is more than a business.
It’s a reminder that dreams can be written by the Most High — and fulfilled beyond what we imagine.
This is Yaa Ukhti.
