Our story

A webshop as sadaqah jāriyah

The Barakah Lab was born from frustration and love. Frustration that Islamic products are so often sold online in a generic, cheap, and story-less way. Love for a Deen that demands quality, intention, and iḥsān in every act.

Three promises

What you can expect from us

Three principles that are non-negotiable. If we fail here, we lose our reason for existence. So we do not fail here.

Halal-first, always

Every product, every payment method, every marketing decision is assessed against our 3-gates halal-compliance. Read how →

Honest story

No fake urgency, no fabricated reviews, no false statistics. We are a young brand and we are proud of that. Every product receives a verifiable Barakah Score.

Sadaqah built in

At every checkout you can round up for sadaqah. 100% goes to verified charities — no admin fee from us. We keep a live counter of the total raised.

The founder

Who is building this?

ED
Founder · CEO

Enes Dogan

Cuijk, Netherlands · Dogan Group B.V.

"I spent ten years as a marketer for brands I could not stand behind. Now I am building four that I want to put my name to every single day."

Enes (26) is a Dutch Muslim entrepreneur. Born in Cuijk, raised by a Turkish father who taught him that honesty in work is a form of ʿibādah. After years in tech and marketing he decided to bring all his experience together under one holding: Dogan Group B.V.

Every project within the holding shares the same DNA: Muslim-centric, quality-obsessed, and built to the iḥsān standard our Deen demands of us — working as though Allāh ﷻ is watching us, because He is. The Barakah Lab is the place where all those values come together in one catalogue.

Our curation

Three gates. If a product fails one, it does not enter.

We are stricter than Shopify will ever be. Around 60% of what we ask suppliers to submit does not pass the final selection. That is fine — the other 40% is what you see.

01

Halal source

Every ingredient, every maker, every country of origin is verified. No ribā-banking in supply chain. No forced labour. No harām components in materials, adhesives or coatings.

→ checked by our compliance officer, externally verified
02

Maker ethics

Artisans receive fair prices. Small workshops over mass production. For every product we know the story: who makes it, where, and why.

→ direct contact with every maker, no intermediary trade
03

Quality that serves

If it is not more durable than cheap-on-Amazon, it does not enter. Products that last over years, not discarded after months.

→ 90-day internal use trial before the product launches
Dogan Group ecosystem

Our other projects

The Barakah Lab is part of a broader holding. All projects share the same DNA: Muslim-first, quality over scale, and built to solve real problems.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ إِذَا عَمِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلاً أَنْ يُتْقِنَهُ

"Indeed, Allāh loves that when one of you does a task, he does it with excellence."

Hadith · al-Bayhaqī

Question, feedback, or collaboration?

We would love to hear from you.

Whether you are a maker, a customer with a question, or simply someone who values barakah — we read every message personally.
