Critical Muslim is a quarterly magazine of ideas and issues showcasing ground breaking thinking on Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in a rapidly changing, interconnected world. You can read more about us and what we do here.


Independent writing is a worthwhile endeavour, but it takes time, effort and money. We think Critical Muslim is a little different. It’s about publishing great articles that inform, intrigue and inspire. It’s about challenging conventional wisdom and accepted truths. And it’s about you, the reader.

Unlike so many publications, our obligation is to readers not advertisers, and that’s why we’re proud to say that Critical Muslim is 100 per cent advert-free. That’s where you come in – subscriptions keep the lights on.

Subscriptions to Critical Muslim cost just £3.30 per month and you’re free to cancel anytime.

In return, you get access to absolutely everything we publish (including our entire archive), a stunning reading experience from your computer right down to your mobile phone—with zero adverts.

We think that’s a pretty good deal. We hope you do too.
