THE PEN MAGAZINE

Published since 2007 The Pen is an educational and cultural periodical covering the Islamic faith, worship, the issues of the Islamic world, and the struggle towards the unity of Muslims.

As of 2014 it started to be published biannually. Every print issue of The Pen has covered and shed light into the topics which are of great importance for the believers such as the existence and oneness of Allah (swt), the proofs of the existence of Hereafter, the mission of prophethood, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his way of life (Sunnah), and the reasons behind the creation of man and the test of life.

As of 2022 The Pen started to publish online-only contents.

The Pen Magazine is inspired by the Risale-i Nur Corpus written by Imam Bediuzzaman Said Nursi who is one of the most effective scholars of the modern age, and who addresses the minds, the hearts, and the souls of people in a convincing manner in his books.
