Who are you when everyone is watching?
Our last edition looked inward and now this one turns to face the world. And the world, it seems, is always looking back.
We live in an age of visual proof. The meal is photographed before it’s tasted. The trip is posted before it’s over. A good day only seems to count once someone else has seen it. So we’re ask ourselves: why? What happens to joy when it is lived for an audience? How much of ourselves do we spend looking as though we have it all together, while the inside tells a quieter story? And what does it cost to live in a world that needs to see everything in order to believe it?
The Gaze explores beauty, adornment and confidence at a time when everything is shared and everyone is looking. Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty, so to be beautiful is permitted, even encouraged, and adornment can be enjoyed as the blessing it is. The question is how to hold it well, how to adorn without being consumed, how to be seen without needing to be, and how to remember who it’s truly for.
At 116 pages, this is our biggest edition yet. It holds long-form essays, interviews, personal narratives and conversations on beauty, confidence, adornment and life under constant gaze.
Our cover stays under wraps until publication day. All we'll say is this: there's no cover star this time. Look closely on 27 November and you'll see why.
