MyAdhan is up against two other companies for the Enterprise award.

MyAdhan.com is leading the way in Islamic mobile downloads. It originally started off as a service providing prayer and fasting times to mobile phones in the UK. This core service has now been expanded to include mobile phone wallpapers and backgrounds, MP3 Quran and Adhan downloads, Hadith and Quranic Tafsir, a mosque locator, Islamic event information, and a service which allows you to donate to charity from your phone. The TXT2Donate service is being piloted to allow people to donate conveniently to the charity of their choice.

Saaf Pure Skincare, based in Leeds, was created in 2004, to meet the need for organic skincare that is suitable for use by Muslims. Dr Mah Hussain-Gambles used her background in formulation development to set up the world’s first organic-certified and Halal-certified skincare range manufactured in the UK. Halal in this sense means more than just alcohol and pork free: it also means natural ingredients which do not harm the environment. The range is therefore made from 100% biodegradable materials, including its recyclable packaging which is sustainably sourced. The ingredients used in its range are also Cruelty Free and Vegan; and the company policy dictates that 10% of all proceeds go to charity.

Tahira Foods Ltd was set up over fourteen years ago when Halal food was only available from local butchers. The London-based company is now recognised within the UK and European Food Industries as the number one Halal food brand. It has an extensive distribution network that extends into the European market, and is now a major supplier to the UK market, with all supermarkets stocking their range. With Muslims today having a variety of different demands, Tahira is always revising and improving its products whilst maintaining its reputation as a trusted and authentic source of Halal food.

Good luck to all and we hope that we Inshallah win!
