About MA Brothers
The store was first opened in 1966 as a local grocer on Elswick road, having traded for over 45 years MA Brothers has grown and flourished its small premises to expanding into a couple of stores within the area. The business began as a result of the Asghar brothers who established their business during their teenage years. MA Brothers is a family owned business that began as a result of two brothers building their empire together in their early twenties. The name came about from the family name and the emphasis is placed on the brothers aspect of the business. They wish to encourage families to spend time together during meal times and hence developed their business in provided food for the community with the sight that at meal times it is where the family comes together.

GoogleToday, I visited MA Brothers( 173 Elswick Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 6SR )and, unfortunately, had a deeply upsetting experience. The lady at the counter, identified as Ahayat, made openly derogatory remarks about Christians,and non Muslims referring to them as “infidels,” in front of many customers waiting to pay. Hearing such comments in a public space was not only disturbing but also deeply traumatic. It is particularly troubling to encounter this level of intolerance in a country that upholds values of respect, equality, and religious freedom. As the person at the counter, she was representing the business, yet instead of professionalism, she chose to spread hatred and disrespect toward people of another faith. Such behaviour reflects a concerning mindset that fosters division rather than community. I strongly urge the relevant authorities to look into this matter and take appropriate action. At the same time, I encourage fellow Christians and all people of goodwill to consider carefully whether they wish to support a business where such attitudes are expressed without hesitation or accountability. Respect for one another’s faith is essential for peaceful coexistence. Incidents like this should never be ignored, as they undermine the harmony we all seek to live in.
