Islamica Magazine is a quarterly magazine with worldwide distribution. The staff aims to broaden perspectives on Islam and provide a forum 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. Like Q News in the UK, Islamica is a full color widely distributed periodical dedicated to presenting various perspectives and opinions on Islam and the Muslim world.
History
The magazine was first published in 1992 and re-launched in 2004. It was first launched as a journal by Sohail Nakhooda, Tariq Kazi, Najma Jaweed, and others at the Islamic Society of the London School of Economics (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 from Jordan as a full color magazine of opinion and analysis. Islamica is most widely distributed in the United States, where it is currently available in select Borders and Barnes and Noble bookstores. It is also distributed in over 20 different countries around the world.
