The Quiet Man — Mastoor Majalla, Volume I

Majalla is Arabic for magazine. Volume I is about the men who don't announce themselves: the ones who endure, provide, make things with their hands and carry their faith quietly.

Across 132 pages in English and French, this first issue gathers essays, portraits, poetry and conversation on Muslim manhood. It is built around four Islamic principles: Niyyah (intention), Iḥsān (excellence), Tawakkul (trust in Allah) and Barakah (blessing).
