Emel (styled emel) was a British lifestyle magazine that reported on contemporary British Muslim culture. The final issue appeared in January 2013. [1]
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]
Lloyds TSB partnered with emel to launch what it claimed is the first user-generated content driven community website targeting British Muslims, as part of a campaign to promote the national rollout of its sharia-friendly banking services. The new community website, called Emel Postcard, [7] allowed members to upload pictures and comments via downloadable "postcards". [5]
In January 2014, emel was nominated for the Responsible Media of the Year award at the British Muslim Awards. [8]
