Islamica Corporation is an "identity-centric" organization founded in Chicago, Illinois. Islamica's products include apparel, accessories and media marketed towards Muslim youth and cultural fusion. Islamica differentiates itself from other Muslim organizations by focusing on an emerging generation of Muslims in non-Muslim environments. As many Muslims found themselves in a reactionary state in the aftermath of 9/11, Islamica continued with its founding vision of providing young Muslims with a vitally-needed identity. Islamica's apparel offers Muslims to express their identity through contemporary styles and humorous messages.

History
