Improve Printing Quality

I am a regular subscriber of Islamic Voice, I find it is very informative and have a few suggestions. The fonts used are of very old style and you can refer to many mainstream newspapers like Times of India, India Today and DNA, for better type faces. The quality of printing can be improved, specially…

Tribute to Manto

There was some reference to the great short story writer Sadat Hasan Mano in your December 2012 issue (ref. Insights). I remember to have read his stories like Kali Shalwar, Boo etc. There will be no better tribute to Manto than republishing his stories in a book form. Sayeed, Hill Fort, Hyderabad.

Right Perspective

I am a native of Vaniyambadi, an Economics graduate and now aged about 61 years. I have the privilege of reading your esteemed monthly, Islamic Voice and find it very interesting, beneficial and informative. The paper carries good articles presenting Islam in the right perspective. Vellore Abdullah Basha Vaniyambadi, District, Vellore

A Fishy Homage

It is a matter of national shame that the insensitive authorities of the Delhi Government have so recklessly renamed the fish market at Ghazipur as Shaheed Ashfaqullah Khan Fish Market supposedly to honour the memory of this great son of India and famed Urdu poet. To set this right, I have sent a scathing letter…

Muslim Nations are not Islamic

Islam advocates freedom to everyone without disturbing the rights of others as well.  The so called freedom in western nations  is not freedom.…

Putting the Cart Before the Horse

I read with interest the article, “Tipu University- A Needless Controversy” by Dr. Javeed Nayeem in the February 2013 issue of Islamic Voice. The author has very well analyzed the issues dispassionately and needs to be complimented for it. The project of establishing a minority institution at Srirangapatna is very much at drawing board level.…

More Columns Please

I have few suggestions. You can commence some columns for women. You have a column for children. You can also start a column with “Tit Bits” with latest information that will help people understand Islam. You should publish pieces about “death penalty for rape” which was already propagated by Islam 1400 years ago. Today, the…

Grand Claims about Glass Mosque

The article published in Islamic Voice (November 2012) about Shillong Muslim Union and the glass mosque is totally false as Mr Syedullah Nongrum has been falsely representing the Muslims of Shillong, as no local Muslims of Shillong recognise or accept him as the general secretary of Shillong Muslim Union. Moreover, the glass mosque he claims…

No Captions with Pictures

I wish to bring to your notice that the pictures and group photos you publish in Islamic Voice are often without captions. This makes it very inconvenient for readers to relate to the picture and identify the relevance. It would indeed be great if you could please look into the matter and improve your editing.…
