Why We’re Creating a Magazine for Muslim Women

We get asked this a lot when tell people about Friday. The answer is pretty simple.

The WHY...

Humans are social creatures and we crave connection. We’ve all heard the phrase that we’re the sum of the people we spend the most time with.

We have many different circles of influence, some physical (people you see daily), some casual (friends you see occasionally) and lately our virtual circles too (your fyp page/your DMs). They’re all an influence on us - sometimes good, but sometimes not.

The HOW...

Being aware of your circles takes conscious effort and if you want to sit in circles that make you a better person, you need to find them – or build them!

So here we are, building a circle for Muslim women who want to better themselves in ways that are aligned with our beautiful faith.

Our circle is welcoming, judgement-free, thought-provoking, informative and inspiring, and we want to see each other live our lives with confidence and excellence.

The WHAT...

We’re beginning this journey by creating a printed magazine, bringing you the best writers and creatives to make something you can hold in your hands, cuddle up on the sofa with and really delve into long-form content that’s honest and wholesome.

Media is also a circle and the last few months have made something clear to us that we already knew deep down. Mainstream media isn’t here to serve us, so it’s up to us to make our own where we can have the conversations we really want to have – without fear or censorship.

A bonus? You can enjoy it in peace away from screen-time. Constant notifications are a distraction disaster and putting your phone down to pick up Friday Magazine promises you content that’s kind for your mind and better for your soul.
