Muslims are making a big splash on Instagram, where they share beautifully crafted food, fashion, and faith photos.
We found these 5 Muslims from around the world particularly interesting.
The Palestinian-American influencer had millions of followers on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok before launching his restaurant. He began his online career in 2013 on the short-form video app Vine, and was eventually named one of the 100 most-famous personalities on that platform.
“It’s been my dream to have a restaurant with my mom, so we did that in the middle of a pandemic,” Jibawi tells Arab News. “My mom does all the traditional homemade stuff. I love doing the fusion stuff — and that’s our biggest seller. I’m always teasing my mom about that.”
We can’t forget Adam Shah and his wife Maryah (@thehalalfoodblog) when it comes to top Muslim produces. In terms of halal food blogging, the two of them can be considered early pioneers.
They began their journey in June 2012, when they began blogging about halal restaurants, cafes, and even coffee shops so that others looking for similar dishes could benefit from their experiences.
The couple has over 87,000 Instagram followers, which is a sizable following in the social media community.

Seher Istar, a hijab-wearing Muslim woman living in Melbourne, is used to getting stares from strangers. Now, however, she’s attracting attention for a different reason. Seher’s collection of hats are now attracting attention as the designer and founder of the world’s first hijab-friendly hat.
Jamela Boutique’s Instagram is full of Reels of Seher styling oversized monochrome ‘fits and autumn park playdate ideas.
