her, and shipped from Bangladesh, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and
Turkey. Here she is pictured organizing hijabs in the store
during Ramadan in 2019. Begum is one of metro Detroit’s

“All of us need to work. No work should be undermined. If you
stick with something honestly and you give dignity and hard work,
then InshaAllah... you can do many things if you are serious, if
you have a commitment... InshaAllah day by day you will be
successful,” she says.
