The Revival Magazine print version is currently on hold and now we are hoping to launch an on-line magazine.
So we are in need of regular writers for the on-line mag.
If you are a writer or have strong views on issues facing Muslims today then why not get on board with the revival- we do aim to represent the voice of the Muslim youth.
Send me a PM or an email to: editor@therevival.co.uk if interested.

You may not be a writer but you' do have strong views...

There is no such thing as a writer.
There are just people who write or have something to say.

but some people..just write in a way that gets to people. i dont know... i dont think i could write "good enough" stuff on a regular basis...
how about you give us a bit more info on what it entails to be a writer for the online mag 'Ed?
acutally..if it s online mag..then writing "blog style" might be more acceptable right?
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Formal articles are banned on this place anyway.

It's not just about writing in proper english, it's the style you write in as well, tone of voice you use blah blah blah

But on what exactly?
Maybe you should put up a list of topics and see if people sign up to what they want to do?

The first thing is that you are passionate about muslim youth and issues facing Muslims today.
After that if you can write thats cool, if you can't then your ideas, views, input and feedback on articles, proofreading etc is enough.
An editorial team is not just about writers... not everyone can write but everyone can contribute in their own way.
With writing...you just give it a go...and I can help alongside others. I don't see myself as a writer... i just collect my thoughts and go with the flow. The beauty about the revival is that the articles dont need to be formal/intellectual... you just need to relate to your audience... talk about issues young muslims today deal with all the time.. and leave the rest to the editors....
topics wise...anything from drugs/alcohol abuse, marriage, boy/girlfriends, diary of a bad man, arrivals, mosques,imams, peer pressure, materialism, sectarainism, extremism, politics, work, uni life, bullying, abuse, parents, faceboook/twitter, sport, role models, media, death, purpose of life, gangsterism, homosexuality, niqab/hijab, temptation, music, nasheeds, palestine/syria, imran khan n pakistan, taliban, spirituality, unity, integration,abortion, culture ....
i could go on and on...
make it personal, talk/write about what u been through, what was tough when you were/are a muslim youth, write about stuff that your mates are going through....
if you wanna get involved in any way then pm me or send an email and I will get you on board....
Neither do i...you're not here to make everyone happy, it's somewhere where you can voice your own opinion. I know hot it gets when people don't necessarily agree with you and i see where you're coming from. The way i see it is, this is a way i can test my opinion and find out whether i'm right or wrong.
The sahaba didn't always agree with each other, this is why they had 'shurrah' a meeting.
I for one think alot my opinions on several subjects don't coincide with others on this site. You'll get this everywhere though. It's a test if your beliefs
Lets reunite the ummah under one flag LA ILAHA IL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH
Difference while stamped upon is needed.
