Eight hours, one pink suitcase, and a lot of du’a.
Malaysia Fest 2024 in Sydney marked Zaahara’s second international appearance after Singapore. We came with portable prayerwear and portable prayer roll—then left with conversations, friendships, and a moment that almost became a shahadah.
Why Sydney Mattered
Going abroad isn’t just about sales—it’s about meeting people where they are. Sydney brought together Malaysians, students, families, tourists, and curious non-Muslims who wanted to understand how Muslims pray and what our products mean in daily life.
Conversations Beyond Commerce
Many visitors touched the mats and asked, “What is this used for?” Those questions opened doors to talk about solat, modesty, and intention. One conversation grew so sincere that it almost led to a shahadah.
It reminded us: every booth can become a classroom, and every product can become a bridge.
“We came to sell, but left humbled—by curiosity, kindness, and hearts open to understanding.”
What Visitors Loved
- Sejadah Roll™ — pocketable prayer mat for ca mpus, travel, and work.
- Marisa OTG & Sofia OTG — lightweight telekungs designed for comfort and modesty.
Second Country Down—Many More to Go
Sydney confirmed what we learned in Singapore: portable, thoughtfully designed faith essentials resonate anywhere. We saw pride from Malaysians abroad and respect from non-Muslims who admired the discipline and beauty of prayer.
