Muslim Girl

Muslim Girl Magazine was a bi-monthly fashion, beauty, and lifestyle publication marketed for young Muslim women.[1] Founded in January 2007 and published by Toronto's ExecuGo Media,[2] the magazine offered style advice, articles on movies and music, and general advice, but with a grounding in normative Islamic morality and with features on Muslim countries and cultures.[3]

The magazine's contributors included Mona Eltahawy, Melody Moezzi, Raheel Raza, and Pamela Taylor. Ausma Khan was the editor in chief.[4]
