Akhbare Islamia আখবারে এসলামীয়া Editor Naimuddin Founder Mahmud Ali Khan Panni First issue April 1884 Country Bengal Presidency Based in Tangail, Bengal Presidency, British Raj Language Bengali

***Akhbare Islamia*** ([Bengali](/source/Bengali_language): আখবারে এসলামীয়া, [lit.](/source/Literal_translation) 'Islamic newspaper') was a late 19th-century [Bengali](/source/Bengali_language)-language magazine. It was published monthly and funded by the [Zamindars of Karatia](/source/Karatia_Zamindari) in [Tangail](/source/Tangail_District), in present-day Bangladesh. The magazine mainly discussed subjects relating to the *[Sharia](/source/Sharia)* (Islamic law), [Islamic theology](/source/Islamic_theology), biographies of Muslims, and [Islamic culture](/source/Islamic_culture) as well as contemporary social and religious issues.[1]

## History

The *Akhbare Islamia* was founded in April 1884 by Hafez Mahmud Ali Khan Panni, the erstwhile *[zamindar](/source/Zamindars_of_Bengal)* (feudal lord) of [Karatia](/source/Karatia_Zamindari). The magazine was edited by [Mohammad Naimuddin](/source/Naimuddin), a Muslim theologian and poet. It was published until 1894 and restarted publication in April 1896 with a different format. However, it was permanently disbanded not long after.[1]

## Content

The magazine was part of an Islamic morality in Bengal that promoted Islam that was common among Bengali Muslims. The movement was [fundamentalist](/source/Fundamentalism#Islamic) in nature that discouraged secular books and music.[2] It had legal disputes with its contemporary, *[The Ahmadi](/source/The_Ahmadi)*, a secular Muslim magazine, regarding the killing of cows and [Hanafi](/source/Hanafi)-[Lamazhabi](/source/Ahl-i_Hadith) dialogue.[3]
