Editorial standard

All submissions must be from Muslim men. Submissions should be original, coherent, and compatible with Qawwam’s Islamic and editorial character. Factual claims should be properly sourced. Send work shaped for publication—not raw notes—and substantively edit it before submitting.

Articles: 500 to 2,500 words.

Fiction: 500 to 3,000 words. Get crazy with this. Whether it’s satirical commentary on the current state of things or a historical anecdote recounting a moment of glory, reflection, or consequence and its spiritual implications, we’re all for it. The Islamic suitability of your story for our readers will be evaluated at the discretion of the editor and his well-learned associates.

Artwork: We also accept submissions for Islamic art, photography, and the like. Powerful visual work with the right vibe and aesthetic is always welcome—and, of course, always credited. Email high-quality images in .png, .jpg, or .pdf format directly to ayousef@qawwam.online. Also send whatever social media tags you’d like us to include when we credit you. An emailed artwork submission cannot be finally accepted for publication until your agreement to the applicable Submission Terms is recorded.

Before submitting

1. Rework the draft until its purpose, structure, and conclusion are clear.
2. Check quotations, factual claims, and citations against their sources.
3. Edit for clarity, coherence, and unnecessary repetition.
