The Journey of Our Exclusive Prayer Collection
At ANA, every stitch we create tells a story of style, comfort and thoughtful embrace made for you. Back in 2020, when we first began, our vision was simple to create premium hijabs that felt just as beautiful as they looked. From there, we expanded into designing abayas that reflect one's persona classic, modest and rooted in quality.
But it was you our cherished ANA family who inspired the creation of our beloved Prayer Collection: practical, modest prayer dresses thoughtfully designed for ease and everyday moments of prayer.
What is a Prayer Dress?
A prayer dress also commonly referred to as a Namaz Makhna, Namaz Hijab, Namaz Khimar, or Salah Dress is a specially designed garment worn by Muslim women during salah (prayer). It is modest, loose-fitting and easy to slip on, making it perfect for daily prayers whether you're at home, traveling or at work.
At ANA, our prayer dresses for women are thoughtfully designed to serve as a practical, modest and time-saving solution for today’s busy woman. Whether you're managing household duties, pursuing a career or juggling multiple responsibilities, our modest prayerwear helps you stay spiritually connected, supporting a more intentional, consistent and effortless ibadah experience without sacrificing comfort, ease or elegance.
How It All Began: A Collection Inspired by You
We began our journey with a free-size prayer dress, designed in a shorter 40-inch length, popularly known as the Namaz Makhna. This style was thoughtfully created to offer ease, comfort, and modesty for women of all body types. Lightweight, easy to wear and effortlessly practical, it quickly became more than just a garment, it became a trusted prayer companion.
From the quiet moments of Fajr to the calm of Isha, each Namaz Makhna is designed to support your daily salah routine with grace and simplicity. Every detail reflects our commitment to understanding the real needs of our customers, offering a blend of style, comfort and spiritual purpose in every piece.
Evolving with You: From Knee-Length to Full-Length Dresses
Our prayer dress collection has evolved hand-in-hand with the needs and preferences of our growing community. What began with our beloved knee-length 40-inch Namaz Makhna soon expanded to include 50-inch lengths and eventually full-length prayer dresses each designed to offer increased coverage, elegance and modesty for every stage of your spiritual journey.
We initially introduced delicate floral prints to add a touch of femininity to your salah attire. But as feedback poured in, a clear preference emerged: our customers wanted simplicity and timeless style. This inspired us to develop a wide range of solid-coloured prayer dresses, featuring rich earthy tones and classic neutrals, all crafted in premium fabrics like Cotton, Modal, Rayon, and our signature 4-way Deccan Stretch for superior comfort and mobility.
Namaz Dupattas: Where Tradition Meets Comfort
Our Namaz Dupatta has quickly become a customer favourite and for good reason. Made from pure Mulmul cotton, this dupatta is known for being exceptionally lightweight, breathable, soft on the skin, and budget-friendly, making it a practical and beloved choice for daily salah.
What truly sets it apart is its broader width and thoughtfully designed prints, which offer a superior drape and full coverage.
