Often when I read some magazine, and here I refer to Islamic magazine I often wonder if we are trying to create an encyclopedia of thoughts. We try to put in everything and anything and it also has to be completely Islamic.
Muslims also need information and entertainment as any one esle and I strongly felt a need to create a magazine that the college students can identify themselves with.
Thus came the Burooj Stars. The name Burooj by itself has an interesting history and perhaps I will save it for later times. As of now, we introduce to your our newsletter the BUROOJ STARS.
The newsletter hopes to achieve a lot of goals and targets, but it needs to first find a firm footing. Let us walk, and what better campus to begin with than where it all began. We choose Crescent to launch the newsletter and it is now in its third issue.
The response is lukewarm but I hope that can only increase with a more determined team and better articles. Lot of planning needs to go in the making of the magazine and I am fortunate to have friends who can critisize and make sence of what is being conveyed.
Burooj Star's articles are crisp and there is a whole section dedicated to college life titled Campus Talks. I enjoy doing this particular section a lot, as it gives room to be innovative and feels like talking in the language of a college student.
We need to create a system though, if we are to make a name for ourselves but the real intention should never get tainted. To create more inclination towards Islam among the college goers and finally have a magazine that talks the way a teen understands.
We hope to have youth stars like Yasir Fazaga and Yasir Qadhi on board as guest editors plus grow from current 4 pages to a full fledged color magazine.
For time begin, what we need is your encouragement and more time. -
