Small Spaces, Big Barakah
“I follow the Zikkies Thrift store on social media, love the concept and am an avid thrifter myself so was wondering if we could connect with regard to a possible opportunity for the same concept in Brisbane?”
Thrift Your Way to a Festive Ramadan & Eid
Every year, when Ramadan gets closer, we feel it before we see it.
It’s the month of intentional reset and a time to slow down, reflect and try to be better than we were yesterday. We think more about our prayers, our habits, our generosity and naturally that mindset finds its way into our homes too.
Ramadan isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing things consistently, with meaning.

Little Hands, Big Impact: Teaching Kids About Caring and Sharing
At Zikkies, we believe generosity and care begin in childhood. Guided by this vision, we partnered with Ummah Jameelah playgroup to host a workshop for little ones aged 2-4, exploring the values of caring, sharing, and sustainability in fun, meaningful ways.
Book an Adventure: The Cycle of Sharing Stories & Knowledge
At Zikkies, we see books come and go every single day. Some are worn at the edges, others still crisp and new. But each one carries a world within it. When someone donates a book to us, they’re not just clearing a shelf. They’re continuing a special cycle: the sharing of knowledge, wisdom, imagination, and faith.
The Art of Grateful Living
What does it mean to live with gratitude in a world that always wants more? Grateful living is about slowing down, appreciating what we have, and choosing to give with intention. At Zikkies, it’s reflected in everyday acts—donating, thrifting, and caring for the community. Rooted in Islamic values and mindful living, gratitude becomes not just a feeling, but a way of life filled with purpose and barakah.
