History of Al-Islah magazine
2004 -
The lack of authentic Islamic newsletter/magazine published periodically for the local community inspired Rabetah Al-Ulama Al-Islamiyyah to create a monthly newsletter that is now a mag azine and is distributed all over the West Yorkshire area and further a field as well. Under the recommendation of Hadhrat Mufti Musa Badat D.B and other senior Ulama of Rabetah, a monthly newsletter was created which was named Al-Islah (Rectification, Reformation and Purification) with the aim of providing guidance, support and advice for the local community on Islamic matters. The first issue of Al-Islah newsletter was published in August 2003 and was distributed for free in the local Masaajid in Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. In November 2003, the pages were increased from 4 to 8 pages.
