This week, we say thanks to all of our readers and cheerleaders! We’ve had a few changes that we want to share and we’re really pumped about what Allah may bring to the MNATION project in 2025, inshallah!
As some of you may know, Br Husni and I started the MNATION journey in November 2023, launched MNATION.UK in March 2024 and now, we are pleased to share that phase two of the MNATION project has arrived, with the launch of MNATION Advisory.
The MNATION project was born out of a response to the rejection of the systemic misinformation and misrepresentation of Muslims over the past few decades in Legacy Media.
As someone who has worked in media and communications for the past thirty years, I can say with definitive experience that building community through commonality and positive engagement is a way to bridge divides within our own community, and with others.
We know that it is easier to drive engagement by amplifying firebrand content creators and negative coverage – but we believe that this approach only serves short-term agendas that bears little fruit in terms of uplifting our Ummah.
To this end, MNATION.UK is a non-denominational, positive business news publication, that strives to amplify Muslim voices and matters in the diaspora and Muslim-majority regions, whether that be expressed through business, the economy, politics, sport, culture, tech or cuisine.
Positive news does not drive engagement, but a desire for change, most certainly does.
If you believe that changing the narrative about our community is important, please encourage your network to become an email subscriber (it’s free!) and help to circulate our stories!
We are honoured and humbled by the support that those readers who do desire change have shown MNATION.UK, and are pleased to say that we have achieved over 149,000 email subscribers since going live on 28 March 2024.
This week, we launched MNATION Advisory.
Our mission is to help empower Muslims in the private and public sectors through our strategic market development advisory services.
You might be a Muslim-founder and need a team that ‘gets you’, or you want a targeted communications strategy that speaks to the heart of your audience, or need stakeholder engagement advice on navigating cultural sensitivities between all communities, our team of highly qualified Advisors are dedicated to ensuring your initiatives are delivered on target, on message and to maximum impact!
We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome a very talented new addition to our team, Sr Rabia Bouchiba, who stepped into the role as MNATION Managing Editor this week too.
Sr Rabia is a Director/Producer and Writer who has been delighting audiences with dramas, documentaries, music videos, and corporate films in the Netherlands, UK, and the Middle East for the past thirty years. Fluent in Arabic, English and Dutch, our resident polyglot will be driving our editorial team to deliver more awesome stories that no doubt will continue to uplift the Ummah in 2025.
Thank you for your on-going support.
Jazakallah Khair, Jo.
