Emel (styled emel) was a British
History
Sarah Joseph co-founded the magazine with her husband, Mahmud al-Rashid, in September 2003.[2][3] Joseph was the magazine's editor, and al-Rashid was a volunteer publisher and editor-in-chief.[4]
It was the first mainstream Muslim magazine in the UK to experience cross-over interest from non-Muslim readers and its circulation reached 30 countries.[5]
Writing in the Journal of Middle East Women's Studies in 2010, Reina Lewis claimed: "For emel, lifestyle has the potential to situate modern Muslim practices as part of contemporary consumer culture while simultaneously celebrating Islam's historical heritage."[6]
Awards and nominations
In January 2014, emel was nominated for the Responsible Media of the Year award at the British Muslim Awards.[8]
