A message for all humanity.

Alhamdulillah, The Message has maintained uninterrupted publication since it started in July 1989. While the magazine’s target audience is primarily Muslim, its contents are designed to appeal to people with diverse interests, irrespective of their religious denomination or personal convictions.

The Message is an effective tool from which both Muslims and non-Muslims can learn about Islam, Muslim community affairs in North America, and Muslim concerns and perceptions regarding national and international issues.

The Message has developed a pool of writers who are unique in many ways. Some are distinguished scholars and community leaders; others are younger, but equally promising and resourceful. They speak of guidance and salvation, and propagate tolerance, mutual understanding, fraternity, peace and justice for all.

That’s why a title like “ICNA Bulletin” or “ICNA Message” was not sufficient. “The Message” was chosen because Muslims believe in a divine and integrated message for all humanity, without distinction based on race, geography or class.

The magazine has maintained, with integrity, its commitment towards these objectives — and we are determined to continue in the same direction in future, insha’Allah.

We wanted to create a Time or Newsweek for the Muslim community of North America — to reflect Muslims as a whole.
