Javed Ali, founder of Illume Magazine, has relaunched the Illume’s website: www.Illumemedia.org. The site includes articles from the new issue, regular columns, and community blogs, the latter of which are exclusive to the website.

From the editor’s note:

Storytelling has been used throughout history to preserve culture and to instill moral values within a community. It is imperative that endeavours such as Illume Magazine are supported by the communities whose story they look to tell. As mainstream media has struggled to examine Muslim-American stories that really matter, it is vital that in the tradition of Maulauna Rumi, Muslims in this country begin to develop their own narratives, even if those conversations make us uncomfortable, or even if they are a reinterpretation of the stories shared by all Americans.

So check out Illume Magazine. And I’m not just saying that because I am involved with it
