Who are you when everyone is watching?
Our last edition looked inward and now this one turns to face the world. And the world, it seems, is always looking back.
We live in an age of visual proof. The meal is photographed before it’s tasted. The trip is posted before it’s over. A good day only seems to count once someone else has seen it. So we’re ask ourselves: why? What happens to joy when it is lived for an audience? How much of ourselves do we spend looking as though we have it all together, while the inside tells a quieter story? And what does it cost to live in a world that needs to see everything in order to believe it?
The Gaze explores beauty, adornment and confidence at a time when everything is shared and everyone is looking. Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty, so to be beautiful is permitted, even encouraged, and adornment can be enjoyed as the blessing it is. The question is how to hold it well, how to adorn without being consumed, how to be seen without needing to be, and how to remember who it’s truly for.
At 116 pages, this is our biggest edition yet. It holds long-form essays, interviews, personal narratives and conversations on beauty, confidence, adornment and life under constant gaze.
Our cover stays under wraps until publication day. All we'll say is this: there's no cover star this time. Look closely on 27 November and you'll see why.

FROM OUR READERS
“FRIDAY feels like sitting down with a friend who truly understands. Every page is a mirror and a window at once.”
“Fresh pages, fresh perspectives. Loved the inspired stories, and thoughtful commentary. Perfect for every tea break.”
“What an incredible achievement! FRIDAY truly reflects the beauty, strength, and creativity of Muslim women’s voices.”
“Well done team… such a gap in the market, just what we needed.”
A magazine, a community, a home.
WHAT IS FRIDAY
FRIDAY began with a simple conviction: Muslim women in the UK deserve a media platform that reflects the fullness of their lives. We’re not a niche, nor a stereotype, and we’ve built a community where faith and ambition sit comfortably together.
We publish a premium print magazine that you'll want to collect on your bookshelf. We host live events that bring our community into the same room. And we're building something online that extends those conversations beyond the page and the venue.
This isn't content for content's sake. Every story is chosen with care, every word is considered, every design decision is intentional.
Some things deserve
to be held.
WHY PRINT
In a world of infinite scroll, we choose print media deliberately. There's something irreplaceable about the weight of a magazine in your hands. Tthe texture of uncoated paper, the intention behind every layout, the simple pleasure of turning a page without a notification pulling you away.
FRIDAY is designed to slow you down. Each edition is a considered object, something to read with a hot drink, to leave on your coffee table, to return to months later and still find something new. This is slow journalism for women who move fast but know when to rest.
Like us, our printers are dedicated to finding better ways to take care of our Earth. They use 100% renewable electricity to produce our magazine, and only vegetable based inks that are kinder to the planet.
