What
is “The Message”?
The Message magazine is a non - profitable
Islamic publication, which strives to inform Muslim
and non-Muslims within our community about the
practices and values of our religion. It also provides
useful answers to youths who are struggling to form an
Islamic identity in a westernised country by providing
them with the necessary channels to ask significant
members of the Islamic community questions which in
turn provide them with the necessary means to make
informed decisions. The Message emphasises the
importance of knowledge and peace within our community
and promotes friendships among people of all creeds.
We believe it is essential to build bridges within the
Muslim and with other non-Muslim communities through
the establishment of mutual respect, understanding and
education. The magazine thus attempts to serve as a
medium to achieve these objectives and to endorse
working together to help foster harmony within our
community |

Why
We Need Your Help
We simply do not have enough funding to satisfy our
demand. Due to our ever-increasing readership 4000 copies are no
longer sufficient. It
have been calculated that we need to increase our
circulation by at least 2000 copies in order to sustain
growth and reach our readers who constantly miss out due to
lack of circulation.
