Islamica Magazine is a quarterly magazine with worldwide distribution. The staff aims to broaden perspectives on traditional Islam and to provide a voice for Muslims to articulate their concerns while establishing cross-cultural relations between Muslims and their neighbors and co-religionists. The magazine is produced in English and draws from leading academic scholars from both Muslim and Non-Muslim worlds.
Topics

History
The magazine was first published in 1992 and re-launched in 2004. It was launched as a journal by Sohail Nakhooda, Tariq Kazi, Najma Jaweed, and others at the Islamic Society of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The Islamic Society of LSE had an intellectually vibrant scene in the early 1990s and the creation of the magazine was a natural culmination of their campus work in promoting a more engaging Islamic discourse amongst university-educated Muslims. Being a campus initiative, albeit sold internationally, it meant that once its team graduated that the project could not be sustainable. It therefore suspended publication for three years. However, the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 led to dire need for mainstream, orthodox and authentic Islamic voices and a new team was formed and Islamica was relaunched as a full color magazine of opinion and analysis.
Location
The magazine's offices are located in the USA, UK and Jordan and printed in Turkey. The periodical contains glossy pages with beautiful photography and layout, running about 128 pages.
