I have been wanting to make a difference in this world using the gifts that Allah has given me. I have wanted to help others, and also grow as a Muslimah, while being myself and having fun. Being Muslim does not mean you have to keep your head down and frown at the world. Sometimes I get the feeling that many Muslims feel this life is so empty that they keep away from it. Well we are not allowed to be hermits and monks in this religion, we must get out in the world and make the people (including our selves) find Allah and bring them to Him.

Allah sent messengers to all the people of the world. How I see it is if Allah wanted to, He could have given people guidance without commanding them to reach others and call them to Him. But each messenger came to a different people. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAAW) came up from among his people and he reached them through their own understandings.

The Prophet came from the mountain blazing with poetry. To a poetic people that was amazing and touched them in a unique way. How could he reach the people if he didn’t understand those people, or couldn’t relate to them in some way??

We are not Prophets, but we do have the ability to be a guide to others and we can reach them in a way they understand. A way that will interest them. We teach them, by our example and this magazine for me is that example…

And Allah knows best.

What would be of interest to you in a magazine ?

Here are some of my ideas and thoughts behind this effort.

1. there are many many Muslim hip hop artiest, comedians, writers, business owners, athletes and more who could benefit from a magazine and some publicity from their fellow Muslims to help in their efforts of self expression and identity.

2. As a youth we have a unique out look and expression of Islamic culture. Our style and voice is precious and can shape the way we as an ummah are viewed around the world, in America, and with in our own communities.

3. Successful ( as in what we get from life not necessarily the money we make in life, or material gain) and educated young people no matter what religion is a wonderful roll model for other youth and struggling persons around our communities. As Muslims we have so much more to offer and an obligation to help those we can. We must enjoin good and forbid evil why not do that and have fun too? We can use a medium such as a magazine to express and act on this.
