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 with printing done in Turkey. The periodical contains glossy pages with beautiful photography and layout, running about 160 pages.
