| Summary: | This obituary offers some personal memories of Fuad Nahdi (1957-2020), based on my interactions with him, as well as some reflections on the historic importance of Q-News, the British Muslim periodical Nahdi founded, which was published between 1992 and 2006, partly based on short impromptu interviews done with some who worked on the magazine with Nahdi. In Q-News, Nahdi created the most consequential UK Muslim publication of its day and helped shape how a whole generation of young Muslims saw their identity and faith. He should be remembered alongside Abdullah Quilliam (1856-1932) and Dr Kalim Siddiqui (1931-1996) as among the great journalists-cum-activists that British Islam has produced. |
