From The Founder

Let’s rewind a bit - back to 2018, when I was the go-to sweet dealer of my school year. I was that kid passing out sweets during lessons, running a mini business right out of my schoolbag. It may have started small, but it planted a seed - one that’s grown into something far beyond what I could have imagined back then.

Fast forward to today, and Al Hiba is the result of that early hustle, passion, and a whole lot of growth. The name Al Hiba is deeply personal. Inspired by the Arabic word Hiba, meaning “gift,” it carries my drive - a daily reminder that this journey, this brand, is about giving in more ways than one.

What started with sweets turned into gift hampers, personalised hoodies, prayer mats - even random things like phone cases. Every chapter taught me something new about creating with meaning and connecting with people.

Today, I’ve expanded my journey beyond Al Hiba. I now freelance in marketing, host events, and do charity work - all ways to connect, create, and make an impact in different spaces. Al Hiba remains my heart and foundation, a reminder that every project, every product, every collaboration is part of a bigger story.

This brand is more than a business - it’s a movement, a community, and a reflection of everything I stand for: faith, purpose, creativity, and giving back. Each project, whether it’s a product, event, or campaign, is a small piece of a bigger picture, connecting people through meaningful experiences.

I could go on forever - but I’ll leave it here. Your support has brought me this far, and I can’t wait to see where we go next, together.

With love and duas,
Sana - Founder (just your average Blackburn girl)
