I have been reading Islamic Voice for only one year, but I gained good command over English after reading this paper. I was quite weak in English. So I like to say that Islamic Voice is very useful not only for improving one’s language, but also useful in order to acquire knowledge about the current…

I am a lifetime subscriber of Islamic Voice. This is with reference to the issue of July 2018 and the article in “Women’s Voice” published on page 12 under the caption “Beyond Purdah.” Perhaps because of some incomplete information or inadvertently, the name of my maternal grandmother, Begum Khursheed Khwaja is missing. She was the…

However sometimes I spot some stories about negative things”about political wranglings, communalism, etc. I personally feel that such stories should be avoided. It isn’t that these negative things aren’t happening. They are, but so much of the media already gives…

Its aim is to shelter the homeless, protect destitute…
Sir, It was really painful to go through the article by Aoun Ali titled “Pakistan Disowns it only Nobel Laureate”. What a contrast that our own departed President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was honoured by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi by attending his funeral on Rameswaram island. A Hindu individual has constructed a temple…
Thank you very much for publishing a review of an Urdu book on key Muslim figures in the Sikh religious tradition (in the April 2018 issue of Islamic Voice).
