Edition #04, The Gaze.
Our last edition looked inward, so this one turns to face the world. And the world is always looking back.
In an age of visual proof, we ask what happens to joy lived for an audience, what it costs to look as though we have it all together, and how to hold beauty and adornment as the blessings they are. Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty, but the real question is who it is truly for?
This is our biggest and most creative edition yet, and the cover stays under wraps until release day on 27th November.

Who are you when the labels fall away? This edition goes there.
Identity is the question Muslim women are asked constantly, by the world, by our communities, and quietly, by ourselves. Our third edition sits inside it. Not to answer it neatly, but to explore it honestly, in all its layers and contradictions.
Who are you when no one is watching? When the roles you carry, daughter, professional, wife, believer… fall away, what remains? This edition is for the woman who has spent time becoming, and wants to see that journey reflected back with depth, beauty and truth.
FRIDAY Edition #03 features long-form essays, personal narratives, and conversations with Muslim women navigating identity on their own terms. Printed on premium stock, perfect bound, and designed to be read slowly and kept forever.

Single copy · Back issue · Where it all began.
Our debut edition.
The one that proved there was a space for this magazine — and that Muslim women had been waiting for it.
Breathe was an invitation to slow down. To take stock. To remember that rest, reflection and intention are not just luxuries, they are part of how we show up fully in our faith and our lives. The stories inside are personal, honest and deeply felt. The kind of writing that stays with you.
As our first edition, Breathe holds a particular place in the FRIDAY story. A piece of independent Muslim women's media history — and a beautiful object in its own right.

Single copy · Back issue · For the woman who refuses to stay where she's put.
Our second edition arrived with something to say.
Rise was built for the Muslim woman in motion. Ambitious, purposeful, and unapologetic about the space she takes up in the world. The stories inside explore what it means to climb on your own terms: in your career, your faith, your relationships and your sense of self. Bold, grounded and honest throughout.
If Breathe asked you to pause, Rise asked you what you'd do when you stood back up. Together, they tell the beginning of a story that's still being written — and every new reader becomes part of it.
